This weeks guest is Shamez Amlani. Having grown up in Toronto, 19 year old Shamez got a summer job as a busser at Le Select Bistro on Queen Street West back in 1989. Little did he know this was the beginning of a lifelong career in the restaurant industry. Quickly moving into his favourite position behind the bar, he found his passion creating opportunities for strangers to meet and setting the scene in that third place - not home, not work, where one can be free. After extensive travels in Europe and a return home to hone his knowledge as waiter and bartender, Shamez re-located to Paris in '93 to start a new life. There he managed a small bar while continuing to travel and have many adventures touring with a band, pretending to be a writer, teaching English, eventually returning to Toronto in '97. He came back to Le Select as bar manager while his new life partner Maria Flawia Litwin forged a career as fashion designer and eventually contemporary artist. By the time 2000 had come around, he realized the only thing to do next was open a place of his own, so with friend and chef Mike Harrington and Maria, they opened La Palette in Kensington Market, imagining that their humble French Bistro would last a year, maybe two. Instead, the place became well entrenched in the neighbourhood and Shamez discovered a passion for community activism while helping to create Pedestrian Sundays, car-free neighbourhood celebrations where street food and live music were king. In 2005 they bought out their chef partner and continued to push the boundaries of what a restaurant could be as they laid down deeper roots in Toronto. When the lease came up for renewal, La Palette cast its net wider and opened a second, bigger and more ambitious place on Shamez's old stomping grounds of Queen West. After closing the original location, he vowed never to run two businesses at the same time again, a promise he couldn't keep. In addition to running the new place with tall ceilings, open kitchen, and a long bar, La Palette was also involved with an artist collective called Fedora Upside Down where he ran the bar and catering at legendary events that brought thousands of people together to celebrate diverse global music traditions. All of these inspirations came together with the birth of a new venue a block away, Drom Taberna in 2018. It was an Eastern European Tavern that was casual and affordable with live world music every day and a kitchen that stays open very late. Maria and Shamez invited some of their staff to be partners in the business with the opportunity to work off their share with sweat equity. It quickly became a staple on a street known for great bars and live music venues. Drom is as much a community centre as it is a venue, for the staff and artists that fill the space with great vibes and the public that find it to be an incredibly safe, multicultural and queer friendly space. When the pandemic hit, everyone involved with the two places was too stubborn to quit, having lived the immigrant experience which held creative problem solving and perseverance as core tenets. La Palette became a wine shop and Drom a deli and grocery store, with both places staying a moving target while navigating outdoor dining, repeated lockdowns and re-openings, and insurmountable economic and emotional hardships. Now, both places continue to be vibrant cultural hubs where you'll usually find Shamez at his favourite place behind the bar at La Palette, enjoying the buzz of a busy night, or on the dance floor by the stage at Drom. One couldn't ask for a better job, making fun for so many friends and strangers alike.

Everyone asks her the same question: what happened? Amanda Marshall was at the top of her game in the late 90's, selling millions of albums and sold-out concert halls and then … she disappeared. Except she didn't really. It was a business decision as much as anything, but now she's back with a new album and a new sense of purpose, but that same powerful, gut-wrenching voice and that truly amazing cape of hair. We talk musical roots, live performance, being an only child, being mixed race, food and, yes, hair care. Amanda Marshall is a Toronto born music phenom who studied music extensively during her childhood. She was discovered while performing on the Queen West bar scene by legendary guitarist Jeff Healey, who was struck by her big, powerful voice, and took her on tour. She has released three top selling studio albums, and is best known (so far) for her 1996 single, Birmingham. After a more than 20 year absence, Amanda released a new album, Heavy Lifting, and is currently on a Canada-wide tour. We love writing and would love for you to read what we write.

Chef Matt Basile spent over a decade disrupting the food industry as the founder of Toronto's most recognizable food truck brand, Fidel Gastro's, and popular gastropub, Lisa Marie. Today, as the co-founder of Alchemy Grills, he's taking on a new frontier — disrupting the barbecue and live-fire cooking landscape. In an industry steeped in tradition, Basile is always striving to do things differently. In just under four years, Basile transformed the Fidel Gastro's brand from an underground sandwich pop-up to an internationally recognized food brand. He also ran the Queen West gastropub and brunch hotspot, Lisa Marie, for six phenomenal years. It was featured on various TV series, including You Gotta Eat Here! and Chef in the City, and was also ranked as the ninth best brunch spot in Canada by OpenTable magazine. Today, Basile has partnered with two seasoned entrepreneurs to launch Alchemy Grills. The Alchemy is the first barbecue to allow home cooks the option to smoke and grill food at the exact same time with one appliance. In addition to developing prototypes, Basile is developing recipes for an accompanying line of rubs and sauces and designing stylish merchandise for the brand. By his Alchemy Grill in his backyard outside of suburban Toronto, Matt connects with Lou on Thrive LouD and shares his story of how Alchemy Grills came to be. ***CONNECT WITH LOU DIAMOND & THRIVE LOUD***

In Episode 1318, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 132-120 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night to move to 18-23 on the season. Off the top, Sean digs into why the Raptors offense was able to achieve its most prolific performance of the season, pouring in a season-best 20 threes against an admittedly crummy Hornets defense. Scottie Barnes seems to have weaponized the space opposing defenses are granting him, and the results over the last couple games have been pretty awesome to behold. Next, Sean dives into a second-straight steady performance by the bench unit of Gary Trent Jr., Malachi Flynn, Precious Achiuwa, Chris Boucher and Christian Koloko. Is that lineup's early success sustainable? It just might be if GTJ is bomb away from three like he has since December 1st. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (O.G. Anunoby's 6/7 night from deep and positive regression to the mean), the Bad (Otto Porter Jr. getting ruled out for the season) and the Hmm (The Raptors crowd, populated by normies again?) before wrapping up the show.BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Sean will be joining his pals from Raptors Republic at The Rivoli on Queen West in Toronto on February 7th for a live podcast extravaganza!

We spoke with Chef Matt Basile about his journey in the food industry and how his non-traditional path has led to his success. You can find Chef Matt: Instagram @chefmattbasile Chef Matt Basile is adding his most exciting title yet to his repertoire as a food entrepreneur: Co-Founder and Creative Firestarter for Alchemy Grills. After over a decade disrupting the food industry by creating Toronto's most recognizable food truck brand, Fidel Gastro's, then Bar Lisa Marie, a Queen West gastro-pub and brunch hotspot and also hosting the reality TV Show Rebel Without a Kitchen, Matt is combining his talents as a chef, content creator and expert with live-fire cooking to disrupt the barbecuing and live-fire cooking landscape as we know it. Over the last year and a half, Matt, along with two seasoned entrepreneurs have been cooking up something big behind the scenes and now they're ready to launch Alchemy Grills. The Alchemy allows for the first time ever, the home cook to smoke low and slow down in a smoker box compartment, and hot and fast on the upper plancha grill at the exact same time, on the exact same unit, without having one temperature impact the other - all powered by charcoal and wood. From prototyping, recipe development for an accompanying line of bbq rubs and sauces, stylish merch to the sleekest bbq you have ever seen, Matt's ethos to always be different sets Alchemy Grills apart. Find Puratos at:@PuratosUSA- Twitter@PuratosUS- Instagram

Ryan Baddeley is the owner of Pizzeria Badiali, a fantastic slice shop in Queen West, a hipster area in Toronto. We talked about the must-visit places in Toronto (sorry we didn't get to North of Brooklyn) but kudos to our friend Amy Rosen, who insisted we meet for a slice at Badiali. This is a unique pizza in a city full of Neapolitans.

Kelly chats with Councillor Joe Cressy about the new live music and rehearsal space coming to Queen West.

dattrax: hElLo fElLoW hOuSe HeAdS from around the world! So excited for you to enjoy this mix. I hope that it puts a massive smile on your face.Did you have a good week so far? Are you struggling with challenges? Embarrassed about them? Ask your close network for help. Everything is available on Google Search and YouTube search to find solutions to your problems. Or, if you're not ready for that, the greatest escape for anything that makes you happy and gives you an escape for a few hours and mental rest from worry.I know that it's been tough lately. Hang in there. Focus your energy to positively and optimistically move forward. You're sad and feeling bad, it's okay to feel what you feel. You need the time to process, introspect, think about what part you had in your misfortune. Then decide to go fix your problems. You may have to think or take actions that are not natural to you. Time to reinvent yourself. You can do it!Don't worry about things that you can't control, because that's a TON of things and you don't want to needlessly burden yourself. Focus on what you can do to change your situation. It's not what happens to us that's important, it's how we react to it.In the cracks of time the last few months, I've been going through about 2,500 tracks in about 3-4 seconds each. You either feel it or you don't. The track either moves you or it doesn't. [Usually, that volume is done within a month, but I had to deal with tons of negative life crap in Feb].Then after I'm done going through all my fav DJ chart lists, house producers, singers, record labels, etc + the top 100 downloads in these categories: house, deep house, afro house, nu-disco, tech house, minimal house, jackin' house, progressive house, electronica, and classic house.By then I usually have about 130-150 tracks. Then I go through that digital crate on different days and the ones that don't move me anymore get removed.I bought 27 tracks in this batch and listened to them for an entire week. Some of my favs can each get up to 20plays each, so I really get to know each track and enjoy them. [Only 25 of the 27 made it into this mix].Then before the mix, I put them in folders like this so I'm not all over the place, yet have the freedom to bounce around. It's structured, but it's not too restrictive. This keeps it always FUN. If it's not fun, then why do it at all:Vocal - Mellow |Vocal - Medium |Vocal - Hype |Dubby - Mellow |Dubby - Medium |Dubby - Hype |Instrumental - Mellow |Instrumental - Medium |Instrumental - Hype |Covers/Remixes |Classic House Vocals |Classic House Dubby |Classic House Instruments |***"Dubby" are those tracks that have only repetitive vocal snippets or stabs, not a full vocal throughout the track.This took one attempt. I usually have to do 3-12 attempts before I get a mix that I love throughout because of all the mistakes.The biggest mistake was when I was mixing in a vocal track and mixing out the previous vocal. The vocal in the track coming in came in a long faster than I expected. Mixed vocals are terrible.I SHOULD'VE CHECKED in my monitor headphones. I always check in the headphones before I apply effects, delay, or flange because if I don't check, it'll sound like shet with most tracks. With the different delay effects, I like applying it between a mix as a new track is coming out or being mixed out and not on the single track playing like most DJs. It's more exciting through a mix.This batch had sooooo many amazing vocal house tracks!!!!! Their underlying instrumentals are wicked!!Love tracks that the music is so strong that if you stripped away the vocals, then you'd still have a killer house track.I usually mix classic house tracks made from 1985-2000 into my sets but this time, just wanted all the new tracks. Even replayed a fav new vocal at the end of the new stuff. LMAO!! This one » "Let It Go" (Maxxi Soundsystem Remix) Pandora Drive. It's better than the Disney Frozen version ; )"Classic house" is an extremely amusing category because it depends on which period of house music do you consider to be 'classic'?It depends on which were the formative years where you were getting involved with house music + the DJs that you listened to on multiple mediums and danced to live. What were their styles?I couldn't help myself though by keeping it purely the new tracks. I had to go into a 6 track classic house excursion. LMAO!!!!Made about 5 mistakes on this mix, but the groove that was built was really really amazing, the rest of the mixing was tight and these tracks... WOWZERS!! They were begging me to mix them!!! Enjoy and let us know if you like this mix and which parts you loved the most.---------------Image Explanation: This was a tiny but cool place called Nasa. It was located at 609 Queen West, circa 2005 in Downtown Toronto. It was owned by a famous Classic House DJ and part-owner of the famous Industry Niteclub, Matt C., and his best friend, Ben. They're still best friends today and in their own successful real estate business. Love stories of lifelong friendships.It was 17yrs ago, so I was 30, and my best friend and live DJ partner, Jim was 31. In the pic, we're spinning vinyl records at that time and had a blast the bunch of times we had the privilege to throw down there. So many cool friends and wonderful people we've had the pleasure to meet over the years. So many beautiful souls in this city that we love, Toronto. At that time, I was also managing a 24hr hotspot just south of Yonge & Bloor called 7West Cafe. We served about 600-800 people per night. It was so much fun!! Filled with amazing customers and staff + a ton of extreme levels of stress most nights. LMAO!!---------------Reach out to us and comment if you like our mixes.

In 2017, I interviewed indomitable chef Matty Matheson. This was shortly before his best-selling tome "Matty Matheson: A Cookbook" was released. Matty's new burger joint in Toronto's boho Queen West neighbourhood "Matty's Patty's Burger Club" serves his signature cheese-slathered burgers, originally made popular at the now closed Parts & Labour restaurant. These days, you can watch Matty's uncensored antics on his YouTube shows "Matty and Benny Eat Out America" and "Home Style Cookery with Matty Matheson." In my interview with Matty, we talk about his addiction and recovery from drugs and alcohol, his heart attack at age 29, his pithy opinions about Trump and his surprisingly delicious Cheeto-topped Mac & Cheese.

Casey Mecija is a multi-disciplinary artist, academic and musician, who used to be the lead singer for indie-pop band Ohbijou, and now records as a solo artist.

Established in 2006 by Lynn McNeill and Will Munro, The Beaver was an alternative queer space in the heart of Queen West, Toronto. In 2020 the bar's owners made the tough decision to close knowing that they wouldn't be able to remain profitable with physical distancing rules in place because of COVID-19. I caught up with prawnographer, resident crustacean of crust-nation, and pencil-thin moustachioed Prawn Waters to discuss performing to well-dressed loungey gays, overcoming pee shyness, and what the bar meant to them...
