[Why Not] # 53 live@27Club (failed stream)


Here’s the partial recording of the 53nd session from [Why Not] @27club.
Sadly my computer died during the stream / set and the first part of the recording was lost.

This is the weekly jam where I stretch out and drop a diverse open format soundtrack of solid vibes for the Ottawa diaspora.

You can expect all the favourite tunes & , hopefully, some you never heard from Funk, Soul, Boogie, dance floor Jazz, Breaks, House, Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Bruk, Afro, Latin, Brazilian, Reggae and whatever moves our souls.

Always trying for a taste of what I didn't know we're missing.
Trust the DJ!

Been also recording and sharing the night by streaming live on: 
twitch.tv/lifeboogie

Vibes to get you past the midweek hump!
Hope to see you out making moves or if not in town lighting up the chat.

For more than 30 years, Trevor Walker has been one of Canada’s best kept secrets. But talk to anyone who’s danced to his sets, booked him or shared the decks with him and the word legend is often use to praise his work.

His radio shows and club nights have showcased a wide spectrum of genres, covering Soul, Funk, Afro, Jazz, Latin, Carribean, Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Acid Jazz as well as his trademark House and Techno sets. He’s particularly known for his use of 4 decks, layering hypnotic beats and adding acapellas over his inspired and informed selection.

On top of his long lasting residencies at Atomic and Mercury Lounge, he’s also graced the decks at many of the countries best clubs and festivals, including : Stereo, Piknik Electronik, Salon Daome, Montreal International Jazz Festival, Peopl, Di Salvio,Jai Bar, Squeeze, Black & Blue… [Montreal], Government, Solid Garage, OM Festival [Toronton], National Gallery of Canada, Ontario Art Gallery, Sashay, Sunday Sessions, SAW Gallery,Babylon, Club Zinc, Winterlude Festival [Ottawa]. Internationally, he’s played in Miami (WMC), NY, Amsterdam (ADE), France, Italy and Mexico City…
