White Rabbit honcho RICK LAPLANTE marks another trip around the sun with an extended 11:30pm - 2:30am DJ set! On support duties to warm the night up: House of Wayne 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/whiterabbitevents/sets/rick-laplante instagram.com/rick_laplante/ instagram.com/whiterabbitottawa facebook.com/groups/whiterabbitottawa LIVESTREAM Presented by SAIRYŌ via www.twitch.tv/thewhiterabbitshow From 9pm - 2:30am EST, our good friends and co-hosts of the evening, the SAIRYŌ team, are presenting a livestream of the event via our Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/thewhiterabbitshow SAIRYŌ is building a game changing digital streaming platform that provides innovative creative controls to users.
