Night Vision 1.21
(Co-Written with Bruce Benson)
Rejoice, animals, for we have resumed our wicked ways. Our presence will continue to be felt on many dancefloors in the coming days, we'll shatter your soul and burn the devil's mark on your forehead with an industrial punch. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Week-End Review
Two weeks to review: here we go!
Tiga's Parking gig was alright, but not spectacular. Fun, good music and cheap beer… can't really complain. The crowd was rowdy, and the heat was palpable. So were a few booties !
Mossa stole the show at DiskHo's Statik night at La SAT. Headliner John Tejada was disappointing, and the room could've done with a few more partiers. Those who came had a blast, though - watch out for the next DiskHo party featuring none else than the prolific John Dahlback, who's rumoured to bring his father (Jesper's brother !!) along for extra fun.
Danny Howells played at Aria 'til noon, performing musical magic tricks and giving partiers some decent beats to dance to, including some Adam Beyer, Booka Shade, Hot Chip, Patrick Chardronnet & Tiga. Come back soon!
The "veterans" Piknic was great, as usual, with a strong performance by Luc Raymond & Mightykat, and a wonderfully soulful house set by Fred Everything. The vodka was good, people were smiling, and the sun was representing. Bring out more like this and we'll settle at Parc Jean-Drapeau for life !
Academy's going private, it seems, and I'm glad I'll be able to keep attending Dizzy every Tuesday. Always a pleasure.
Last Saturday, at Aria, Miguel Graça opened with a new set which was simply great. Maus concluded the evening expertly, making no compromise on the quality of her selection.
The Piknic was a bit disappointing, alas, with some kind of shirtless guys invasion going on - any rumors you might have heard about that ? Because we didn't get it. When we got there, Nathan Burns & Soundshaper had already begun their nightlong tag team, and let's just say that we knew how to attribute the paternity of every track, good or bad, that came our way.
We only caught a few minutes of Bender's all-night set at Balroom on Sunday, which went in the German electro/tech-house direction: never a bad choice!
News en Vrac
Next month, DJ Mini's Overdose night will welcome guests Smash TV, of BPitch Control fame, who will be playing live at Parking on the 4th . On the 31st , parisian Jennifer "Stay" Cardini will swing by for a visit. Fun times ahead indeed.
French rockers Phoenix will be at Club Soda on Sept. 10th, personal favorites Hall & Oates will perform an accoustic show at Théâtre St-Denis on Sept. 2nd, and the Junior Boys will appear (magically) at Sala Rossa on August 25th.
And finally, Hot Chip will be back in town early in November, gracing our beautiful city without a second appearance this year. Details to come.

Can we say MSTRKRFT fast enough to impress you ? They'll DJ alongside The Juan Maclean & Lazaro Casanovas at Les Saints tonight, and if there's some sense left into you after that ass shakin' I saw you perform at Adonis last night, you know damn well where to head after that spiced up happy hour !
SuperSwede Hakan Lidbo graces Parking a visit, and the password is : eclectic techno !
Mightykat & Lil'Dave invade Jet Club to take you higher @ Phonogenic. Grab that crotch !
Friday 21/07
Uptown girls, and uptown boys, get ready for an invasion of downtown beats - Petite Patrie will shake to the bass this Friday, with another edition of Kick Le… Clavecin at Théâtre Plaza. Fancy Freak, Robeat and our very own Clifford Brown will share the stage. Get ready to boogie down, and cart your ass over to 6505 St-Hubert, corner Beaubien. Heads will roll, feet will burn.
Not too far away, Microzoo are throwing an all night Ghostly International party at Centre Fractal, featuring a live performance by Lusine and a set by Ryan Elliott. Also on the bill: DJs Soundshaper & Nathan Burns, as well as Chic Miniature (Guillaume Coutu & Ernesto) who will be playing live. Lattakeuse Dimage will provide live art, while VJ Low Profile will contribute the rest of the visuals. Of course, you're expected to contribute too, if only by showing up and dancing the night away.
Downtown, at Stereo, DJ Heather & Colette… If you like your house with a sexy feminine touch...
Saturday 22/07
Gene Farris, from chi-town, plays Aria.
The 2nd Saboteur Bal, which still goes down @ Sala Rossa, involves Luci, Ghetto Pony, Denyse Juncutt, DJ Tok & Les Robots de la Rime. Did you say "melting pot of melting brains" ?
Sunday 23/07
The Trigger Picnik will be one to remember : Trevor Walker, Pfreud, François LeBaron, Miguel Graça and, yes, Hakan Lidbo will all, in a way, dig their way to your heart with their housy blend of special love.
No Excuse goes down at Balroom, of course, as Sean Kosa welcomes Krista, a Toronto that'll throw you bricks.
Tuesday 25/07
What would we do without Dizzy? If you're not a regular yet, I suggest you show up and sign up for membership, as Academy will be going private sometime soon.
Next Week
There's nothing going on… apart from the Epsilonlab Piknic, that is. Otherwise, why not plan a nice break from clubbing, recover away from the disco lights and spend some time piecing your mind back together.
Until then: keep them tires screechin' !

Well, we finally know what Les Saints is all about: it's the old Gravity Afterhour, without the sound kit. Juan played an okay set, filled with old school numbers, including Lil'Louis' French Kiss. MSTRKRFT got some drunk girls shaking their stuff on stage, and went through several of their remixes along their set, including Metric's "Monster Hospital" and Para One's "Dudun Dun". Overall: an good evening, but not quite exceptional.
Update: Tommie Sunshine will be at Parking for Electruck on Sunday August 6th, and the Junior Boys will be at Sala Rossa on Friday August 25th.
Update: MEG's coming up in september, and here are a few of their guests worth checking out... On Saturday September 2nd - At Metropolis: Feadz & Uffie, Ghislain Poirier (live), Ellen Allien & Apparat - At Club Savoy: DJ Medhi, Sebastian & Busy P. On Sunday September 3rd - At Metropolis: ESG & Para One. Of course, there's a lot more going on for the fest', and you can see the full schedule on http://www.megmontreal.com
Invasion of shirtless guys... haha !
Yeah, so the "Search" is back now... The glitch was Google's, not ours, but all our older texts are still not indexed...
