Friday Drive
Friday May 22nd, 2026 with Nick Williams
Rhythm World

Somehow it felt like Friday was just over the horizon all week for me but here we are finally! While working on the show I started digging through me small collection of records from the far east and found myself sinking into rhythms drenched in sitar, oud and bamboo flute. Next came music from Hungary, Guadelupe, Argentina, Uruguay, and beyond. The thread that held all this music together is it’s mostly instrumental nature and improvisational ancestry. In short it is my favourite kind of music. Is it jazz? Who cares? Can you dance to it? Definitely. I fleshed out the world music with some funky jazz grooves from our continent and the show came together. Shhh no talking, only music and dance. TGIF.

The instruction is visual (no screaming 1-2-3-4) and the class portion is optional, you can do you, or learn some steps! You can hang out, there's seating, an awesome cafe, great family-friendly house music and an awesome community vibe. It's a rare chance to learn some house dance steps from an amazing dancer and hear the freshest new global house music played by a world-class DJ on a great soundsystem!

If you want to mark your calendars ahead of time, the next NAC Capital Sessions is June 28th, talent will be announced as we go forward!

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. Talk Memory (2021), their third straight number one on the Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, explored fusion, new age, and orchestral influences with string arrangements from . Their Instrumental sixth album, Mid Spiral (2024), originally issued as three themed digital EPs, resulted from a week of recordings with several auxiliary players. In addition to their own albums, BadBadNotGood have shared bills with the likes of rap legend (Sour Soul), post-hardcore group (New Heart Designs), and contemporary soul singer (Slow Burn).

Hey Nick. Can;t remember when I last kicked back with a glass of wine on a gorgeous spring nite and listened to a straight 2 hours of wonderful instrumental tracks from around the world !~ And you are delivering one very amazing musical journey. Thanks, mate !!!

Worked my ass off in my hobby farm all day before the glass of wine. Of course my garden radios were pumping all day while I toiled away under a powder blue sky.
