Happy Friday and New Year Drivers!
My friend Irfan aka Boogaloo Jones is an up coming local DJ who has been quite active in recent years in the underground Ottawa party scene and is making moves in Montreal as well and has been working the angle in both cities.
He recently asked if I would be interested in airing one of his mixes on the Friday Drive and after a listen I was sold.
So on today’s drive we’re checking out selections by Boogaloo Jones, which I think is a pretty killer DJ handle.
Enjoy the ride!
Boogaloo Jones is one of the baddest dudes around. Striking fear in the hearts of sucka DJs, he gets busy on the wheels of steel. The sharpest dressed cat in any scene, you might get a paper cut if you brush up against some of his funky threads. With the smoothest of mixes, he plays a wide range of genres from Jazz to Jungle and everything in between. A common face around the Ottawa scene, he has since relocated to Montreal, where he's linked up with the Fellas Q-tips crew. A DJ Collective, with whom he travels around marauding for ears, as they port their wax to several venues around the city weekly. Together they've played with local and international artists like Pascal Project, Moniquea, XL Middleton and Cody Currie to name a few.
Catch him with his band of hoodlums and their travelling discotheque, Disco '93. An homage to all the DJs that made this culture possible, Disco '93 is a party where the history of club culture is explored by combining fashion and music. The Party People come dressed in their best 70s-90s outfits to recreate and blend several eras of raving, while the DJs do the same.
Catch Boogaloo, Jas Nasty, Seiiziii and 2 special guests from Montreal, Emiliano Chamandy and Max Miaja (who are also part of the Fellas Q-tips collective) at Lounge 164, on Jan 21st!

Two of Ottawa's most exciting instrumental solo artists converge for an evening of next-level live looping, experimental soundscapes and string wizardry... Raphael Weinroth-Browne Internationally renowned Canadian cellist and composer Raphael Weinroth-Browne has been celebrated for his emotive and virtuosic playing both on stage and in the studio. Raphael has appeared on over 150 full-length studio albums, including the Juno Award-winning W5: Grey Skies and Electric Light by Woods of Ypres. In 2020, Raphael’s debut solo album, Worlds Within was released to critical acclaim. In 2022, Raphael played 60 shows in the US with Norwegian prog icons Leprous, performed at London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall, and appeared on opening slots for rock heavyweights Evanescence, Devin Townsend, and Apocalyptica. www.raphaelweinrothbrowne.com Yarns Yarns is the solo act of composer/sound-designer Martin Dawagne. Rather than a collection of tracks, the music of Yarns is a succession of sound paintings and meditative prose about escapism and removal. The pieces performed in the set transform from cinematic/ethereal moments to noisy/distorted epics. https://yarns.bandcamp.com/releases SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2023 AT 9 PM – 2 AM Disco '93 : Basement Discotheque at Lounge 164 Lounge 164 164 Rideau St Event: https://fb.me/e/394fOchrt Tickets https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/disc0-93-tickets-501027666237 Disco '93 : Basement Discotheque at Lounge 164 DJs : Seiiizi - Jas Nasty - Boogaloo Jones Special Guests from MTL: Emiliano Chamandy B2B Max Miaja Sat.
