Happy Friday Drivers and welcome to this week’s show!
Keeping things simple for myself this week and also getting my warm up on for tonight's DiscoLab.
Digging deep into my disco boogie crates.
Hoping you’re not all getting boogied out by the show’s recent focus on funky disco vibes.
Apologies in advance for all of you who aren’t in tune with the genre and a promise that next week’s show will be somewhat of a turn back to the drive’s historically diverse soundtrack.
Regardless I’ve got some smashing selections to share with you and I recommend a little stretch to get you limbered up for the show.
Thank you for tuning in and hope you all enjoy the selections!

His first step towards being a dj, was at age 16 when he bought his first console and played in a few clubs, where he grew up in the South of Italy. This gave him a real taste of what was soon to become an insatiable passion. In 2002, he moved to Riccione where the best clubs and nightlife were located, setting up shop to make his mark. Working in a top record store by day; producing and playing by night, his knowledge and taste in music were expanding and all the hard work was paying off. For over 30 years Flavio has been rocking dance floors in clubs all over the world. Bookings in Italy include: Matis, Pascià, Echoes, Divinae Follie, Kamaloca, Nafoura, Peter, Villa delle Rose, PickUp, Miu J’Adore, Chalet delle Rose, Des Alpes, Meet Compact Club, Vanilla, and at international hot spots 43 Scott (Brooklyn-NY), The Door (NYC), NiteFlight (Liebnitz, Austria), Fiesta Club (Brussels), Penthouse (Copenhagen) among others. Flavio hosts his own radio show SUBTERRANEA every week with guest djs. He has been a guest on other radio shows such as: Rhythm is Rhythm, Ibiza Global Radio, NYC House Radio and many others. As a person, Flavio is solid! He is professional and takes his music very seriously. Watching the dancefloor go wild is a rewarding feeling and one that he always strives for. He becomes the maestro, taking the crowd on a musical journey when he plays. With an infectious smile and great attitude on life, it’s all about the vibe. https://soundcloud.com/fkanyway https://www.beatport.com/artist/fk-anyway/265412 WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2024 AT 7 PM - 9 PM Intro to House Music Production on Ableton Live w/ Joe Rowe @Afterlight 129 Bank St. Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/446145054492239/ Come join us at Afterlight for an exciting Beyond City Beats workshop led by local talented producer Joe Rowe, where we'll dive headfirst into the captivating world of house music production using Ableton Live!

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 2024 AT 12 PM Drone Day @Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre 355 Cooper St. Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/913847636891724/ Tickets: Free Freewww.eventbrite.ca/e/drone-day-anishinaabe-algonquin-territory-tickets-863047768107 We invite artists and sound-makers of all kinds to join us in celebrating this international day of drone! Drone Day is an annual global celebration of drone, community and experimental sounds. This year, Debaser and Carleton University Art Gallery are co-presenting a special edition of Ottawa Drone Day at Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre (CDCC), a heritage building in Centretown, not far from Parliament Hill. It reflects on the question, “what is our relationship to this land?” Taking place in CDCC’s vaulted performance hall, Drone Day is a participatory program that invites experienced and beginner sound-makers to add their voices to a heterogenous yet unified hum. It requests listening as much as inviting sounding. We’ll take our cues from Pauline Oliveros’ ideas of deep listening as activism and Dylan Robinson’s concept of hungry listening. This decentralized program of organized sound elevates group consciousness while honouring individual contributions on their own terms. Conceived together, drone is a healing and socializing agent.

As shown on their most recent full-length album, 2021‘s critically acclaimed Obviously, the Boston-bred band also possess a keen talent for combining sociopolitical commentary with immediately catchy pop gems. With their current lineup comprised of founding members Rachael Price (vocals), Bridget Kearney (bass), and Michael Calabrese (drums) — as well as keyboardist/vocalist Akie Bermiss and touring guitarist James Cornelison — Lake Street Dive continue to create joyously soulful rock & roll with equal parts ingenuity, intelligence, and irresistible abandon. Although a certain spirited eclecticism has defined Lake Street Dive since their earliest days, the band‘s four original members (including former guitarist/trumpet player Michael “McDuck” Olson) first crossed paths while studying jazz at Boston‘s New England Conservatory of Music. Their full-length debut In This Episode… arrived in 2007, followed by three more independently released and rapturously received albums. As the band‘s energetic live show continued to earn them a devoted following, Lake Street Dive made their Nonesuch Records debut with Side Pony: a 2016 effort that instantly shot to No. 1 on three Billboard charts and later landed on Paste‘s 50 Best Albums of 2016 list. The following year, the group experienced a new infusion of creative energy with the addition of Bermiss (previously their touring keyboardist), who has since begun sharing writing and arrangement duties. Arriving in 2018, Lake Street Dive‘s self-produced sixth album Free Yourself Up debuted in the top ten on the Billboard 200 and spent seven-and-a-half months on the non-commercial radio charts, with the smoldering hit single “Good Kisser” holding steady in the top five at Americana radio for over a month. In recent years, Lake Street Dive have brought even more boldness to their kaleidoscopic sound while deliberately expanding their songcraft. To that end, Obviously finds the band examining such complex matters as gender inequality (on “Being a Woman”) and the monumental challenges faced by younger generations (on “Making Do”), shaping each track with a profound intentionality and ineffable mastery of melody and groove — a process Price refers to as “putting these messages into three and a half minute snippets, dropping whatever truth we can and hoping it‘s the type of thing that people want to ruminate on.” Made with producer Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Mary J. Blige), the result is an endlessly illuminating body of work that‘s earned praise from the likes of Rolling Stone (who noted that “[a]t a moment when pop strives for lo-fi, solitary-world intimacy, the jazz-pop-whatever band refuse to think small”). Last fall, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their first covers EP, Lake Street Dive released Fun Machine: The Sequel, a 6-track EP of cover songs produced by Robin MacMillan and recorded at Figure 8 Recording in Brooklyn and Lucy‘s Meat Market in Los Angeles. This new collection of songs reveals what makes the group so unique and their curations so special. Lake Street Dive don‘t just inhabit these interpretations; they knock the walls down, re-finish the floors, and on some of them add a new room or two — it‘s a way to both acknowledge their inspirations while also advancing their own musical foundation, inspiring a new generation of fans along the way. And as always, it‘s their signature combination of immaculate musicianship, exceptional, inventive chops, and free-wheeling, playful sense of fun and originality leading the way. Over the years, they‘ve captivated massive audiences at such esteemed festivals as Newport Folk Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and Toronto Jazz Festival, in addition to headlining tours all across the globe and sharing stages with acts like Brandi Carlile and Sheryl Crow. And through their fierce commitment to constantly elevating their artistry, Lake Street Dive have ultimately emerged as one of the most compelling voices in alternative music today, both reliably sublime and thrilling unpredictable.
