Friday Drive
Friday April 1st, 2022 with Trevor Walker
[ Fool's Day ]

Happy Friday April fools Drivers! Nothing foolish about today’s selections only serious grooves will be offered for the next two hours. Pulled together what I believe to be a nice assortment of jazzy vibes and grooves with some UK soul, afrobeat, lo-fi, future funk, boogie and house all in the mix. Thanks for hopping on and hope you enjoy the show! Extra curriculars: Friday: DJ Zattar @Parlour 18h-Close Friday 1319 Wellington St. W.
