How to mix Slick and JDBC in the same Play Framewo

Question

I'd like to mix regular JDBC into my Play Framework project using Slick. I've ran into a few hurdles. Directly adding the jdbc dependency to my project yields this error from this question

A binding to play.api.db.DBApi was already configured, evolutions and injector error with play-slick

removing the jdbc dependency means I cannot use the play.api.db.Database class and yields this error Play error on startup: No implementation for play.api.db.Database was bound

So how can I use regular jdbc and sql queries without slick in the same project.
