[FDFDF 2:3 Dedicated to James "DJ Otto" Lang RIP]

DONATE DIRECTLY TO "FRIDAY DRIVE" HERE: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/76111 www.ckcufm.com Happy Friday Drivers! Before we get into it I would like to dedicated this show to an old and dear friend who left us way too early in September, although I only received the news this week. James Lang who’s alias, DJ Otto some of you may recognize from years past on CKCU, was alumni and filled in on Planet Rave and spun numerous sets in the underground dance scene over the years. Such a kind and gentle soul with a great sense of humour and positive attitude will be missed, I’m sure, by anyone who knew him. My deepest condolences go out to James family and friends and to James if you’re in any way hearing this rest in power my friend and I will cherish all the memories of our time together. I’ve included a link to James obituary if anyone would like to share any memories or well wishes in the comments & a link to his page dedicated to on Sagetea. James Walter LANG (Jamie - DJ Otto) December 28, 1972 - September 13, 2022 https://ottawacitizen.remembering.ca/obituary/james-lang-1086236501?fbclid=IwAR2PDW712NzxpNHl0OnQ6ufoU27FUwCE2UyQaXPJ5mvtfrKbQkvKp7kzNls https://sagetearadio.com/djotto/ Massive gratitude to the following donors: - Beatrix Picard - Robin D., Martial & Kincaid - Sean Ralph - ANON - Paul Spaniel - Ryan Bresee Whatever’s Cool With Me Thursday | 9h30-12h https://www.ckcufm.com/2016/11/04/whatdrivesyou-ryan-bresee/ - Scott "Scruffy_Sac SoundZystem" Moyle After our first week we are sitting at $560 with the hope of hitting $5000. Got some work to do but I have faith that my hope of 112 listers with a $52 donation will come through and get us there. Spread the word! This show is part two of three funding drive episodes aka the now annual "FridayDriveFundingDriveFreestyle" or [FDFDF]. Hoping to get all my regular and irregular listeners and streamers, all you general consumers of "Friday Drive" and CKCU regulars to please show the same generosity that you've shown in past years in donating to this year's campaign! I'd love to smash last years total of $2700, if I'm not mistaken. The general breakdown is as follows. Costs the station roughly $5600 a year to air the Friday Drive, which is my ultimate goal total. Broken down, all it will take is 112 people with a $50 donation to reach my goal and help contribute to the station’s overall goal of $190,000 which is half of the station’s operating budget! *Works out to less than $1 / week! We are accepting donations from anyone and everyone who would like to support! Please let’s do this if you believe in not for profit, independent, volunteer powered, community based broadcasting & streaming. Click & Donate tell a friend and spread the love! PLEASE DO THIS NOW!

November 13th we are presenting DJ Lost Heroes (Christian Pronovost from Montreal) and Nina Zabadalova (Czech Republic) for an amazing inter-generational house dance exchange! A seasoned veteran DJ and young up-and-coming dancer, the perfect illustration of the universality of house dance! Dancer: Nina Zabadalova I was born in Slovakia but live almost my whole life in the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, where I started dancing. I started dancing in my room however my parents couldn’t take my loud stomping so they signed me up for dance lessons at a dance studio called B-Original. I started by dancing choreographies and attending various competitions in the Czech Republic but lately, I’ve been focused more on freestyle and battles. I’ve been dancing for 6 years now and my favorite styles are hip-hop and house dance, but I can also dance other styles. I listen to various genres of music, from hip-hop and rap, to house, dancehall and pop. My inspiration is all dancers around me. My dance teachers, my co-dancers, back home, and anywhere I go. I simply cannot live without dance and music, because this is what makes me happy. DJ: Christian Pronovost a.k.a. LOST HEROES Christian Pronovost is one of Montreal’s original, a perennial figure in the city’s dj & club culture communities . He started his musical career in 1979 at the tipping point of the Disco backlash, the end of something that wouldbecome the Nouvelle Vague of musical movements! Disco Not Disco / NoWave / Dub /Electro /Afrobeat/ Funk Punk / Latin Jazz / Movie Soundtracks & Avant Garde Electronica, the emergence of the Global Sounds would dictate his Modus Operandi! In the mid 80's, motivated by the exciting new sounds of House & Techno emerging from the American Midwestand his adventures in New York, Christian joined forces with his friends and created Inbeat Records, a record store boutique concept, something that would become pivotal for Montreal’s DJ community & the burgeoning house and techno scenes. The Fridays were a ritual for hundreds of DJ’s not only to get some of the most exciting new music but also for people to exchange ideas, information & the latest gossip. In parallel with his business ventures, Christian maintained, for over 4 decades, a constant public presence under Lost Heroes by playing locally + internationally occasionally sharing the stage with a who’s who of yesterday + today’s electronic + club music scene: Ame, Alex from Tokyo, Art Dept, Bob Sinclar, Basement Jaxx, Carl Craig, DJ Harvey, Divine!, Giorgio Moroder, Grace Jones, Goldie, Francois K, Fort Romeau, Joe Claussell, Dixon, Danny Krivit, Divine, Dennis Ferrer, DJ Gregory, Dimitri de Paris, Tony Humphries, Gilles Peterson, Frankie Knuckles, Jeff Mills, Kerri Chandler, Karizma, Kenny Dope Gonsalez, Laurent Garnier, Louie Vega, Malcolm McLaren, Martinez Brothers, Moby, Nitzer Ebb, Paranoid London, Roman Flugel, Robert Owens, Willy Ninja, just to name few ! The entrepreneurial spirit & professional diplomacy parallels with the motivation to explore different platforms to express his creativity beyond the music leads him to create Lost Heroes Arts & Media, an platform for Creative Consultation/ Artistic Direction & Music Supervision for: Festival / Fashion Show / Advertising / Label / Artist /Museum / Brand Experience . His numerous collaborations + productions includes projects with : Adidas, Adidas Y3, Air Canada, Ambassade du Canada (Tokyo), American Apparel, Audi, Berlin Fashion Week, Festival Juste Pour Rire, Festival de Jazz de Montréal, Festival Mode + Design de Montréal, Festival des Franco, Fierté Montréal, Grace Jones, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lacoste, Lune Rouge Entertainment, La Presse, MAC Cosmetics, Mercedes Benz, Montreal en Lumiere, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Opéra de Montréal, PikNic Électronik ,Sid Lee (C2 Mtl) W Hotel (New York / London) Yves St Laurent. So far his goal always remains the same: Connecting the d.o.t.s between people / ideas / styles / history / culture& technology to propose a modern, contemporary & inspired experience.
