Night Vision 1.35

Co-written with Bruce Benson

The week ahead looks pretty quiet in comparison to what we've gotten used to. Nevertheless, things never really die down in Montréal, and we still have a lot of recommendations for y'all.

So grab that rain coat, put them rubber boots on and get ready to head out into the cold to find the next party, the next dancefloor, the next hottie and the next whisky bar.


Last Week's Wickedness

Mateo Murphy once again blew our eardrums to Kingdom Come at Parking last week, as he burned the early evening dancefloor to prepare people for Mini's assault. She was launching her debut album, "Audio Hygiene", and let me tell you that the party was in the place !

Urbania's new number about madness launched at Centre Fractal on Friday in... pure madness ! There was well over 300 souls all drinking Boris together and being subject to Clifford Brown and Sean Kosa's sonic assaults, which ended up dying shortly after 3 in a sea of rhum.

The same night's MicroTek all-night event at Théâtre Sans-fil turned out to be the week's big-hitter. The place was full of nice folks, the music was awesome, and the party went on strong 'til the end. Extrawelt's live set was solid, and every DJ set was good as well. A special mention for Nathan Burns & Soundshaper who stole the show with their early morn' driving-yet-melodic tech-house set! What more could you ask for ?

Despite an inspiring tag team from Maus & Scoy, Aria's Saturday night turned out to be a downer as the place emptied right after Marco G's opening set. Let's blame the mid-terms for this debacle.

Bliss didn't quite have the birthday bash we expected for him, as almost no-fuckin'-body showed up at Academy Dancehall for Extend. Those who were there had fun, and a rematch is due for sometime in the future !


News En Vrac

Techno legend Marco Carola will be at Parking for the November 9 edition of Overdose.

I shit you not: Tribe Hyperclub has booked Get Physical Music founders M.A.N.D.Y. on Thursday November 23rd, and Tom Stephan, AKA Superchumbo on Thursday December 21st. Let's try getting past the door for kicks !

Neon Loves Halloween? Forget it - it's not happening. Instead, SAT-lovers will be treated to another edition of Voyeur, featuring locals Jordan Dare, Thomas Von Party & Why Alex Why. Blood Red Halloween !

Speaking of Dare, he just launched a new electro weekly called Joyride. It's going down at Tokyo on Fridays and you can expect the usual : his trademark block-rockin' beats and dark sounds, and lots of fun !

We also just got word that the No Excuse crew will soon move to Stereobar, starting Nov. 5th. Closer to our heart probably means you'll see us there more often !

And at least, it looks like Tommie Sunshine will be the year-ender at La SAT – he's schedule to appear on December 31st for what promises to be a massive Neon New Year party.

Now... what's going down this week ?


Thursday 19/10

New York's mythical Frankie Bones drops by… Saphir? Yes, it's true – NCV teamed with Mix Thursdays to make it happen, so don't waste any time and get your ass down there early - hearing a legend in such an intimate setting doesn't just happen every night. Dave O'Brien & Deliz also appear, as well as a bunch of other turntable jockeys.


Mini flies solo for another edition of Overdose at Parking.

Over at Musée Juste Pour Rire, the "Saboteur Sound System" takes place in conjunction with the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma and proposes a free - yeah ! - party with Numéro, Leo Cruz, IAmDJSylvie & Denyse Juncutt.


Friday 20/10

David Laguer deejays alongside MightyKat for Circus Afterhours' Reactor night.


Saturday 21/10

Loco Dice's February appearance at Aria was simply amazing, ranking very near the top of our very short list of the best DJ sets we've heard this year. Don't miss your chance to catch him this week-end as he returns to the Rue St-Denis afterhour venue for another night of wickedness.


Maus will be there as well, and if we're lucky we might just get another tag out of the both of 'em. Marco G also appears.

Bark at the Moon happens at Alizé and offers you a headbanger's setting with some music by Éloi Brunelle, Clifford Brown & Marinelli. Expect a decent soundsystem, beats in space, and more alcohol than you can shake a stick at !



At Academy Dancehall, Fred Everything offers up another Lazyday session, and those who like it soulful and deep (and delicious) know where to head !




Sunday 22/10

Extravagant red-haired deck-jockey Sean Kosa shares the bill with mechanical turntable interventionist Bender at Balroom for No Excuse night.

Mary Hell & MZ Sunday Luv welcome Cherry Cola at Saphir for another edition of Beat Me Up.

Can't ever stop partyin'? Time for another edition of Rise Sundays at Circus, with David Laguer & Kal.


Monday 23/10

It's Extend's "Death Party" and host & resident Clifford Brown III welcomes red-haired Omni and Stitch, formerly Mr. Stitch, a guy who's done so many bad things during his summer in Berlin that we had to drop the "Mr."


Expect dark sounds, as these two guys are rather tortured - but the light will shine inside your souls and the party will make your pants catch on fire.


Tuesday 24/10

Pheek will performing live at Academy's Dizzy Tuesdays. MightyKat will work her magic behind the decks for the remainder of the evening.

Another edition of Telephunk at Salon Daome? Of course! Nathan Burns & Soundshaper provide the beats, you provide your drunken self !


Next Week

Adam Beyer, Lee Burridge, Plastique de Rêve & Trentemoller compete in a no holds barred fight to the finish: it's the ultimate Halloween deathmatch !


Until then, keep those umbrellas nearby !

I can assure you that when you find out all about what'll be going on this week-end in tomorrow Night Vision you'll probably consider giving both of'em away for a one-way ticket to this city.
