Happy Friday Drivers!
This week is will be a bit of a warm up for a favourite event that goes down periodically, thrown with fellow vinyl slinger DJ Zattar.
The party is called "Tropikalo".
As the name suggests we dig into Afro, Latin, Caribbean, Brazilian, Reggae, Funk, Jazz & Disco vibes all 100% vinyl.
That is exactly what will be going down for the next two hours!
Trying to get my warm up on and provide a soundtrack to take your mind and soul to warmer places for the next couple of hours.
Thank you for taking the time and hope you enjoy the ride!

Polky, meaning "Polish women," came together through a shared passion for Eastern European music's enigmatic and upbeat style. Joined by Canadian musicians, Polky brings its original sound to Eastern European traditional music by adding a uniquely Canadian and multicultural flavour. Polky takes you on a musical journey to Poland, the melting pot of Eastern and Central Europe, with Ukrainian, Jewish, and Slovak musical influences! The band performed at the Danforth Music Hall, opening for Lemon Bucket Orkestra and Boogát, the Aga Khan Museum, Polish and Ukrainian Festivals, Summerfolk Festival, Ashkenaz Festival, Memoires et Racines Festiva, Sunfest Festival, and it was an official showcasing artist at Folk Music Ontario and Folk Alliance International promoting Polish and Eastern European folk. Their first EP, Immigration (2018), was inspired by Polish traditional music from the Mazovia region, Polish mountains, immigration to Canada, and... Led Zeppelin! Their debut album, Songs From Home (2020), described by Songlines Magazine as an "energetic wilderness," celebrates the multicultural city of Toronto and the band's Polish roots. It was nominated for Canadian Folk Music Awards 2022 in three categories and won the Traditional Singer of The Year Award for Ewelina Ferenc. This event is possible by Heritage Canada. SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2023 AT 8 PM Raphael Weinroth-Browne + Yarns Cafe Dekcuf 221 Rideau St. Event: https://fb.me/e/6hi5qQCxU Tickets: https://events.com/.../raphael-weinroth--yarns-ottawa... 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.
