Friday Drive
Friday May 15th, 2026 with Trevor Walker
[CrateDictatingTrip]

Happy Friday and long weekend to all the “Drive” family out there and welcome to this week’s show! Once again the struggle to keep the show fresh became apparent as it always does whenever compiling the selections to be featured. This week I figured let’s wing it and drop whatever popped up while letting the crates dictate to provide some nice audio candy for all you discerning ears out there. Trying to keep with my tradition of a mellow start with a continuous acceleration throughout the broadcast with some kind of climax towards the end. We’ll be filtering through a mixed bag of Africa, Latin and Brazilian vibes, some funky Soul and jazzy grooves with the potential of some left turns thrown in and perhaps some bonus on demand content. So let’s see where the crates take us this week and hopefully they’ll provide some fresh sounds for you all. Happy listening, thank you all for taking the time and hope you enjoy this week’s offering. Keep it locked!

Tangent
House Dancer, B-Girl and designer Tangent has been performing and teaching dance since the nineties. She got hooked on the underground sounds of house and breaks in the first wave of Rave culture and never looked back. As founding member of the all-woman B-Girl Crew DECYPHER CRU (2000-2010), co-director of the house dance collective Capital Sessions (2008-present) and resident instructor at the Flava Factory Dance Studio (2011-2023) she has been choreographing, performing, organizing events, teaching and studying dance for more than 25 years. Having a trained visual eye and a meticulous attention to detail, her approach to dance is conceptual and she bears the name Tangent well, constantly surprising audiences and drawing on art-forms such as Martial Arts, Parkour and Yoga to inform her art.
DJ John Arano
Born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, John Arano comes from a rich cultural background rooted in the Philippines. His parents hail from Dauis, Bohol, and his father, also a DJ, introduced John to the world of music from an early age. Growing up in a household filled with vibrant melodies and rhythms, John developed a deep appreciation and understanding of various genres. This early exposure laid the foundation for his unique style and expertise as a DJ. For Capital Sessions he is going to bless us with a deep and soulful set!

III (2014), their last fully instrumental LP for a decade, gave them their commercial breakthrough; it crowned Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and became the first of many BBNG projects nominated for Canada's Polaris Music Prize. The collaborative IV (2016) brought in guests ranging from frontman to saxophonist and marked the band's Canadian chart debut.
