Happy Friday "Drivers"!
It’s going to be a fun journey on this week's episode with a nice helping of some much neglected vintage and contemporary globally influenced, jazz oriented sounds with with a dash of funky, soulful, R&B and disco sprinkled throughout our time slot.
Promises to be a bit of a bumpy ride at points with some abrupt tempo deviations at times but always keeping true to the “Friday Drive’ vibe.
Thank you for tuning or streaming or demanding and hope you enjoy the show.
Happy listening!

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!

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.
