Happy Friday Drivers family!
Been working to put together a follow up to the “Latin Fever” episode from back in March of this year.
After inheriting a nice haul of Cuban records, thanks to my brother from another Rise Ashen’s digs when he visited Cuba a number of years back and a little pulling from the shelves and crates, the time has come.
You can expect the majority of the selections to come from Cuba with perhaps a sprinkling from various corners from the Caribbean and South America.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 2024 AT 10 AM - 4 PM Art In Strathcona Park 2024 @Strathcona Park Event: https://www.facebook.com/share/fhAJzFj9g41hEU4H/ Join us for a day in the park and enjoy one of the area’s most enjoyable fresh-air event featuring many talented artists and artisans. On Saturday, August 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. established artists and artisans and undiscovered talents will come together to sell their work directly to the public and to raise public awareness about mental illness. Art in Strathcona Park also offers jewellery and pottery, to name just a few, and will also feature a silent auction and a BBQ - something for just about everyone! Art in Strathcona Park is a fundraising and public awareness event sponsored by Mental Illness Caregivers Association (MICA). Did you know that in any given year, 1 in 5 Canadian experiences a mental health problem or illness? The sad fact is that we are all touched in some way by mental health issues through a family member, a friend or a colleague. Unfortunately, the reality is that public misconceptions, fear and the stigma associated with having a mental illness may discourage people from seeking help for themselves or their family member. Set in an idyllic location that draws many visitors and locals, Strathcona Park is located between the Rideau River and Range Road, south of Laurier Avenue East. Regardless of whether or not you're in the market for original art, or jewellery or other craft, Art in Strathcona Park is a pleasant way to spend a summer Saturday.

An organization that raised money for various Queer organizations throughout the Ottawa/Gatineau region but also did a monthly take-over of the former Ottawa infamous club, Babylon. This party is the first comeback for the Queer Mafia and what better way to make a comeback with pals from Basscamp. D-Luxx Brown will take you down memory lane to 90’s hip hop and dancehall. She’ll be mixing in some bumpin’ new tunes and also infusing some Punjabi flava! In the past, she’s DJ’d at various festivals (including Capital Pride) and DJ’d for various charity events throughout the city. She’s also DJ’d with A Tribe Called Red, Yes Yes Y’all and others.

With a focus on Deep, Progressive and Techno genres - he aims to bring people together, make them feel and make them move. He made his debut with MAP (Music.Art.Ppl) in Ottawa, and has since graced stages across Ottawa (City At Night, Mercury Lounge), Montreal and Toronto. He, along with his beautiful partner Stacey, run Basscamp - a local event group that aims to capture the essence of some of their favorite festivals, creating welcoming experiences where people feel free and safe to dance, express themselves and make genuine connections.

Our Capital Pride weekend headliner is international DJ/Producer based in Chicago: KARSTEN SOLLORS (Sollors Systems, Toolroom Records, Repopulate Mars, Circus, Nervous Records, Simma Black, Farris Wheel Recordings, King Street Sounds, Great Stuff Recordings + more) Largely defined by earnest transmissions of sincere and soulful energy, Karsten’s unique passion for the music through his decades of experience within the industry speaks for itself. Proudly advocating the Chicago sound, Karsten takes considerable influence from some of the scene’s most acclaimed names. With a strong penchant for soulful vocals and infectious grooves, Karsten’s undeniable drive and dedication have proven to be the constants in ensuring his arrival to the international dance music scene. Consciously honoring the pioneers that came before him, he has evolved into a devoted representative of contemporary house music. Having commercially released more than 60 original tracks and remixes to date, Karsten’s impressive output has recently earned him a spot in the Grammy Recording Academy both as a key voting member and in 2022 elected as governor on the board of the midwest chapter. Signed to a wealth of highly respected imprints, the likes of Toolroom Records, Repopulate Mars, Circus, Material Series, Nervous Records, Simma Black, Undr The Radr, We Jack, Stashed, Farris Wheel Recordings, King Street Sounds, Sleazy Deep, Great Stuff Recordings and more. Boasting an extensive back-catalogue with numerous other Top 10 and Top 100 charting tracks. Stand-out releases from the Canadian export include ‘The Run Around’ which attained #1 spot in the tech house top 100 chart and was also featured on BBC Radio 1. ‘Weekend Warrior’ which attained #1 ‘Best New Tech House’ track, ‘Step Into It’ on Repopulate Mars landing at #3 for tech house on Beatport. As well as his remix of Gettoblaster’s ‘Break Em Off’ which landed at #2 on the tech house top 100 chart. Always active on the scene, Karsten continues to champion the very best in house music with his intense touring schedule which expands across all continents, and continually thriving in multiple national and international DJ residencies. Having built a solid foundation through his productions and DJ career, Karsten turned his attentions to launching his own record label & lifestyle imprint [ Sollors Systems ] bringing in a new approach to label identity. An ethos of being exclusively inclusive, releasing an array of house music with a solid balance between high profile names and new comers, with an intentional spotlight on minority talent. Following up on this success, 2024 is set up to be a very busy year for the Canadian with a significant nonstop multinational tour schedule, and many heavily anticipated releases.
