[Why Not] # 67 live@27Club 


Here’s the recording of the 67th session from [Why Not] @27club.

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 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!
