Happy Friday Drivers!
Truly unsure where today’s tour will take us but I’ve got a nice pull of goodies so we might get into some African, some Jazz, Some Funk, Disco Soul, Latin grooves and all kinds of vibes that might fit between all the above.
Hope you can stick around and see if our sonic travels are as vast as I’m planning within the next two hours!
Thank you for taking the time!

HoP Call For presenters
House of PainT's call for presenters for the 2022 Knowledge Conference is open, as are the calls for Musical Acts, Poets (for the OG500), and visual/street/graffiti/mural artists for the festival. It was great to have you join us on Twitch to close out the first day of our 2021 conference and also to collaborate with you and the rest of the crew at CKCU on the Radio Takeover!
You can submit an application to present at the Knowledge Conference or DJ during the festival (music application) or share the calls for artists and presenters with anyone you think might be interested. I'll be reviewing Knowledge Conference applications next week, so if you're interested please submit a proposal by July 7.
All the calls are posted on our website at houseofpaint.ca and on social media (see links at the end of the message) and can be re-shared. Here are direct links to each call:
