Friday Drive
Friday September 1st, 2023 with Trevor Walker
[CarteBlancheTakin’Liberties]

Happy Friday "Drivers"! I have a nice pull of music for this week's edition getting back to some regular and hopefully irregular programming. With no IRL's giving me the freedom to not have to multitask musically and focus on playing some carte blanche vibes a la "Friday Drive". Digging into some sweet Jazz Funk and Soulful vibes with a dash of Afro, Latin & Caribbean vibes for the unwind portion's first hour. Digging into some deep jazz in the first half of hour two with a sampling of some African influenced dance floor grooves to wind you up for the weekend. As always thank you for taking the time to ride along and hope you enjoy the show!

Bebel Gilberto is going on tour!
Four-time Grammy nominee Bebel Gilberto will release her most heartfelt and personal album in August 2023, entitled João.
More than a tribute to her father, the unforgettable João Gilberto, the album is a visit to Bebel's most fundamental musical memories. The choice of songs includes unexpected choices, such as the Waltz Bebel (Como São Lindos os Yogues), one of the rare compositions written by Joao Gilberto that was created for his daughter, to classics such as Ela é Carioca and Desafinado.
João is an essential album for admirers of one of the greatest musical dynasties in Brazilian music. The recordings are neither versions nor reinterpretations, but declarations of love made in Bebel's unmistakable style, a style that, according to The New York Times, "exudes a self-possession, unaffected elegance and comfortable sensuality that is almost impossible to find among American pop stars of the same age."
World renowned and multi-Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Bebel Gilberto has been enchanting fans and critics worldwide since her solo debut release in 1986. She catapulted onto the global music scene with a track on the celebrated compilation CD, RED HOT + RIO, followed by the worldwide success of her hit breakout album "Tanto Tempo" in 2000. The album featured her trademark electronic bossa nova, taking over clubs around the world and positioning Bebel as one of the top-selling Brazilian artists in the U.S. since the '60s.

White Rabbit honcho RICK LAPLANTE marks another trip around the sun with an extended DJ set!

DJ Bio:
Born in Ottawa, Canada, Rick Laplante's main musical influences came in the early 90's during his university years in London, ON, due to its proximity to Detroit and Toronto. Frequent weekend visits to those major cities exposed him to some of the most groundbreaking underground sounds heard in the world during the early 90's. Rick has now been professionally DJing for over 30 years.
Rick's preferred club style is anything described as groovy and/or bouncy tech-house, yet he also draws influence from his eclectic music collection. A highly technical mixer, Rick includes flashes of myriad genres when playing house music sets, ranging from techno to disco, breaks to jazz, and from latin to lounge. He hasn't forgotten his musical roots from running the Detroit-Toronto corridor for years, you can always expect the unexpected while Rick blends several different auditory flavours into his Dj sets.
As well as promoting events in Ottawa, Rick has performed at many festivals and top tier events such as Harvest Festival, Playground, Groove & Bass, Cherry Beach, Alien InFlux Kajama cruise, and at notable venues in Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City, Portland, Hartford, Portsmouth, and many other cities across north eastern North America.

The Disco Dudes are back y'all! Disco 93 is returning to Ottawa for the another night of disco debauchery.
As always, the Fellas Qtips will be there, spinning early, so make sure to come early enough to check us out.
We're proud to present a local legend, DJ Magnificent rocking the Ottawa scene for many, many years. His collection is so deep, it'll trigger memories you never knew you had. He's the grandmaster, he cuts slow or he cuts faster, he can get wicked on the mix and the blend, never fakes the funk and never pretends.
We also have Montreal legend DJ Hidi, a man who works behind the scene to keep the local DJs thriving. Providing a regular place to practice on turntables at his Osmo x Marusan cafe we couldn't be more grateful for him providing this resource. Also a part owner of Sans Soleil, one of Montreal's newest and most esteemed clubs, the wait can be over an hour long sometimes. But it's worth it to just to hear music plated on one of the best soundsystems in Montreal. His record collection is sophisticated and deep. He'll have you dancing in a trance as you wiggle your body to the relentless grooves.

Laylit has established its place on the scene with a signature electronic sound blending shaabi, dabke, mahraganat, Arabic pop and hip-hop with contemporary, boundary pushing dance music (techno, breakbeat, hyperpop…) inspired by New York and Montreal’s thriving underground clubs.
Featured in multiple publications including the New York Times and Pitchfork, Laylit celebrates its 5-year anniversary this year with a Boiler Room event in NYC and a tour across multiple North American cities.
Laylit values inclusivity and unity across cultures, languages, dialects, religions, identity and sexual orientations.
