Happy Friday Drivers!
Apologies in advance for the shameless self promotion involved within this edition of the Friday Drive.
All the selections you’ll all be hearing this evening will be available for sale tomorrow at Dominion Chalmers for the OTTAWA RECORD FAIR II, which I’ll get into more detail at the tope of our second hour.
We’ll be checking out some favourites from numerous genres with a heavy does of Jazz, Funk, Soul, African & Latin grooves during the unwind portion in our first hour and as usual we’ll be taking it up in hour two with some early hip hop, electro, house and breaks to wind you up for the weekend.
As always, thank you for taking the time to be here, happy listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

The legend as many call him, not necessarily in public or even in private, is having a musical event happening on September 9th at Irene's. He has released three EPs during the pandemic when he was bandless and is now joined by a great band of: Jonny "Cables" Brownlee on guitar, Jamieson "Jamo" Mackay on bass, Ben "Jean Bonne" Deindstadt on drums, and Tobi "Keymaster" Otubli on Keyboard. https://brianwallin.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-thought https://youtube.com/channel/UChZ5_-xAUVpEiQKSVsJ5pcw Reynaldo and the Dalliances https://youtu.be/5tVVggKFpEo Tortured Romantic, casual crooner & disco enthusiast.

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. soundcloud.com/framework-music/sets/rick-laplante instagram.com/rick_laplante/ instagram.com/whiterabbitottawa facebook.com/groups/whiterabbitottawa Your featured HoppyHour DJ is a solid up-and-comer of the Ottawa scene: KAIZEN - A limited quantity of tickets are available online (before 12am) - Table reservations/packages are recommended for groups and available online - Walk-ins are always available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We are both in agreement that neither of us have a night to truly dig deep into the crates and push the limits musically and tend to have a lot of fun plus nice chemistry on the decks as well as some of the deepest DJ crates in the city, music for days, figured Lounge 164 would be a good place for a tester session. You can expect a medley of whatever vintage & contemporary grooves you’ve ever heard us spin with who knows what thrown in for good measure while keeping it bumping, fresh, vibey, deep, edgy & groovy. All tempos, genres for days collaged as only Alex & I can. Hope you’ll give it a taste. All are welcome!

This project is the brain child of local photographer David D Pistol. The project is a celebration of the National Capital Region's (NCR) hip-hop culture, movement, and community. We are looking forward to gather everyone together across generations for a group photo. We understand that many who contributed to the scene are unfortunately no longer with us, but we will be commemorating their contributions and memories in the project. Have you made contributions to the NCR'hip-hop culture over the last 40 years? If yes, you are invited to take part in what promises to be a historical hip-hop multimedia project. The project is inspired by Art Kane's photograph "A Great Day in Harlem (1958)". Over the years there have been multiple remakes, most notably the late great Gordon Park's "A Great Day in Hip Hop" taken in 1997 for XXL Magazine. If you are interested in taking part in this historic project, please register. *Above Image Artist Jimmy Baptiste, “I Am Hip Hop”, 2023, www.jimmybaptiste.ca TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2023 AT 9 PM EDT THE PHARCYDE - OTTAWA, ON Bronson Centre Music Theatre 211 Bronson Ave Event: https://fb.me/e/OP4TPESu Tickets: Ticketswww.tickets.f7entertainment.com/pharcyde-bronson Nightshift Entertainment & F7 Entertainment Presents The Pharcyde Canadian Tour Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Bizarre Ride Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023 Bronson Centre Music Theatre Ottawa, ON 19+ no minors Doors: 7pm SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2023 AT 9 PM - 2 AM Laylit @Galerie SAW Gallery 67 Nicholas St. Event: https://fb.me/e/17Qg1AmKL Tickets: Tickets · $22.63 - $33.28www.eventbrite.ca/e/laylit-tickets-688135761587 Laylit is a platform and collective celebrating music and artists from the Arab/SWANA region and its diaspora.
