Night Vision 1.34

(Co-written with Bruce Benson)

It's mid-semester. Time to get high. Be buried by homework & get drunk instead.

Try it, you might like it.


Last week's wickedness

Where was Montréal for Pop Montréal's Thursday event at Les Saints? The 20-30 who did show up had some fun, at least, since Mr. Kosa & Mr. Leclair still dropped some mad beats and/or cool grooves for the party hunters.

Ravemontréal 19 was as good as could've been hoped for: good crowd, good vibe and good music. Moshic & Mr. Villeneuve sure got everyone moving - props to Creator for putting together another good all-nighter.

DJ Dan's visit to Aria are always a safe bet, but last Saturday was especially wicked: crazy analog basses for three hours straight set the house on fire. Long live electro-tech!

Extend was fun, as usual, but the placed filled up later than ever, with people starting to dance only around 1:30. The DJ's got drunk and they grooved to the funk, and that's what counts !

Telephunk went funky/soulful last Tuesday, and you won't hear us complaining! The boys of Microzoo may just have gained a few more loyal followers.


News en vrac

Sadly, RM19 was the last in the series of event organized by Creator. You can find out more on ravemontreal.com, but suffice it to say that even a heartfelt "thank you for everything" seems oddly inadequate. Nevertheless, merci!

Paul Kalkbrenner will be at Parking some time in November. It's about time the B*Pitch artist paid us a visit !

But since the news are slim, let's cut to the chase, shall we ?


Thursday 12/10

Montréalites have known this for years: Mini owns Thursday. Now, THE Queen of Dark Electro is launching her album, Audio Hygiene, tonight at Parking. She's thrown so many wonderful parties, let's all show up and block Amherst street with the line-up and turn this one into a classic. Mateo Murphy will also DJ.

The NuJazz fest welcomes The Herbaliser… who plays Olympia alongside Plaster & Deweare.

Steve Lawler! What? No it's not some big wrestling joke, but he'll be at Myst Lounge, or whatever the place is called now. Get out your checkbook, or wait 'til he plays a regular venue.

On Air takes place at Kafein with Deliz & Dave O'Brien.

On the wild side of party town, at Saphir, Mix Thursdays continue to grow strong. This week's guests are Miss Airie, from France, as well as locals Pinky38 and our venerable friend Philgood.


Friday 13/10

Microtek v.3 finally takes place, after much daydreaming about Extrawelt's performance.



The rest of the bill is stellar too : with guys like Jesse Voltaire, Euterke, L'Akratique, Arne Schaffhausen (half of Extrawelt, who'll also DJ), Philgood, a Nathan Burns & Soundshaper tag-team, and Redden closing the night, this evening-to-morning extravaganza promises to propose a little something for everybody. At Théâtre Sans Fil.

Urbania's next issue is about madness, and mad it should be when they launch it at Centre Fractal with Alain Zouvi (whoever he is) as the animator, and Static, Clifford Brown & Sean Kosa as the spinsters. Expect boozed out people and lots more fun !

DJ Shadow, Mr Fab and Lateef the Truth Speaker invade Metropolis for what looks like THE disturbed hip hop extravaganza of the evening.

Over at Olympia, the NuJazz Fest rages on, with Afrodizz, Kobayashi, Subterfuse & Pheek.

TV on the Radio play Le National, and if you know what's good for you, check these guys out.

At Stereo, Just Jonathan receives pals François Lebaron & Véga for an electrifying all-nighter.

And finally - as if this wasn't enough already - it looks like all hell will be breaking loose at Tokyo on Fridays from now on. "What the Fuck is he talking about", right? Well, let me reassure you that the expression "What the fuck" was invented fur just such cases as THE JOYRIDE - a new night presented by Les Nightriders (Senor Dare, Mister Hatz & Monsieur Jones), hosted by DL and Deejayed by Jordan Dare. Montréal shall spare no one.


Saturday 14/10

Headman returns alongside Thomas Von Party at Societe des Arts Technologiques, more commonly known as La SAT. Last time they were around together the party really caught on fire, and let's hope it happens again !

The NuJazz Festival proposes the impossible to refuse combination of Motus 3F, Gloomy, aOTY & Diplo, always at Olympia, and this one sounds like it's gonna explode with baîle rythms !!

All-night Ninjas will find Marco G & Maus at the helm at Aria.


Sunday 15/10

Beat Me Up at Saphir features Jordan Dare, Mary Hell and MZ Sunday Luv, although we've been told that Sunday was presently in Calgary, gettin' her groove on with a cowboy hat.

Over at No Excuse, Bender & Sean Kosa still rock Balroom like it's never been rocked... except when they were playing there together previously, of course !


Monday 16/10

It's Bliss' birthday and we're celebrating it in style at Extend, the most extreme weekday place to party.


If you think you're tired, come on over and test yourself : have a drink, sit down, and see if your feet won't move by themselves. Honestly. Bliss will play a two hours set for the occasion, and it's all going down at Academy, of course !


Tuesday 17/10

Teleport your soul to Salon Daomé and Telephunk it… What does that mean? I don't know, but experts will be discussing the subject while you get wasted and dance.

At Academy, Vincent Lemieux & Matt Rose get Dizzy.


Next week

You'd better be ready to Bark at the Moon ! Because you sure will hurl when it rains all week... But of course, the sun always shine for the 3AM Eternals when Loco Dice hits town, and let me assure you that you don't want to miss this party!


Until then, keep your liver among the list of endangered species !

In case you're wondering - it's really super-fun working with Blogspot right now: we can't upload pictures most of the time and it just took something like 8 hours to update this post. Things are sketchy this week, folks, but we will prevail.
