Friday Drive
Friday August 30th, 2024 with Trevor Waker
[AugustTenToesLongWkndWarmUp]

Happy Friday Drivers family and welcome to this week’s show! Digging through the crates excitedly prepping for this Saturday’s throw down fill in for the monthly “Kaminsky Selects” at Ten Toes on Somerset. More details at the top of hour two. Hasn’t been since the Tropikalo parties with DJ Zattar that I’ve had the opportunity dug into these vibes for a public all vinyl set. All to say that his week you can expect a healthy dose of music from warmer climates as well as music influenced by the music from those climates with the whole show being a wind up for the final long weekend of the summer. A lot of African music ie: Congolese Rumba, Manding and Soukousss, Afrobeat some Latin vibes and a little Ska and hopefully a couple of surprises, time permitting. Thanks for being here and hope you all enjoy this week’s playlist selections!

Laylit is a platform and collective celebrating music and artists from the Arab/SWANA region and its diaspora.

Each party takes you on a genre-spanning journey, highlighting the incredible musical diversity, depth and richness that comes out of the region. 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 celebrated 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.

Thank you Neil & DL and robert p in hat. If I'm not mistaken you're both digging on Super Rail Band and it's a favourite for me.

Neil & DL, "Souljazz spinoff project with guitarist and baritone sax player"... might that be Slim Moore & the Mar-Kays? The other Souljazz Orchestra related bands that I know like Cinephonic don't seem to have baritone sax. Good show, Trevor - thanks!

7:00 PM, August 30th, 2024
Neil & DL
Thanks Ben, but not who I am thinking of. I will find it in my notes and then give you the "heads up".. It is killer Have a great long weekend everyone!!

7:11 PM, August 30th, 2024
Trevor Walker
robert p you are correct the Super Mama Djombo is ridiculously expensive. The cut I played off the album is my favourite. Thank you. for the comments and always taking the time. Have a great weekend, cheers!

Heavy Ben, you are probably correct re: the Slim Moore release since DYSTOH doesn't quite fit the description> Thanks for the comments, cheers!
