Night Vision 2.09

Black gloves, pink hat, Cadillac. Mid March is a time where celebrating is mandatory, and where the alcohol-perfumed breath you might or might not have at the office every morning goes unnoticed. It's that time of the year where mini skirts start to make a slow but steady comeback, where hormones start invading the brain, and where break-ups and savage romps in the club's stalls suddenly happen on a large scale.

What came first, the party itself or the rowdy behaviour that goes along with it ?

That said, rest assured you'll have plenty of places to go, of hot acts & DJs to hear, and of new people to meet. Intoxication city, we love ya.


*News en vrac*

April 1st isn't just for fools, folks. The annual Cabane à Suc' Électronik will take place on a Sunday this year, and features one hell of a slick line-up : Pan/Tone, Remo, Sid LeRock & Mini will provide the beats, and the Piknic team will provide the sweets. See all the details on www.piknicelectronik.com as you'll probably need a bus ride there - you don't wanna drive after all you'll drink while over there. Keep it simple, stupid.

Mutek has revealed a couple of names for its July festival, and while we don't wanna list them all here, a few highlights are required : Gui Boratto, Cobblestone Jazz, Heartthrob, Mr. Oizo, Rythm & Sound, Riccardo Villalobos & Friends, and the Wighnomy Brothers. Oh fuckin' yeah !



Reserve your August 7th right away, as the founders of French Touch, Daft Punk, will be at the Bell Center for a night of funk. I can bet you right away that the tickets will be pricey, but it takes what it takes. Opening for them is a dream trio : The Rapture, SebastiAn and fuckin' Kavinsky, the Knight Rider from hell !

Helm Thursdays are quietly taking off. Held from 8 to 1, they are the perfect pre-party for whatever you plan on doing afterwards. You can eat, drink locally brewed beer, and listen to some escalating BPMs as the night goes by. This week, for the pleasure of your ears, Marinelli & Clifford Brown will share the decks.



At Saphir's Mix Thursdays, a BC legend takes the decks. DJ Czech will break your spine. Also on the bill, Sixtoo makes his first Saphir appearance, and also spinning is DJ Bind with Evader MC. Word !

Parking has a big night : Poker Flat's boss Steve Bug will grace its decks all night, with Mini ! Overdose wins another round.

Over at Tribe Hyperclub, it's worth mentioning that Sasha will spin the good shit.

And at Pas-Sages, the night won't be as minimal as usual this week, as Mateo Murphy is this week's guest. The guy's a legend, he's out of his mind, and he's dangerous. Free !


*16/03*

At Centre Fractal, the first part of Techtonic 2 takes place. All night, at full speed, crashin' through your ears : with guys like Axel Klein, Omni, X-Cube, Ulrich Van Bell and Clown, you can't go wrong, it will be bangin' !


*17/03*

Of course, we still can't believe that Booka Shade are in town. We'll have to see with our own eyes, and most of all HEAR the sweet magic they'll produce live for us. This is a fine-as-they-come DiskHo event, and opening for the monsters are Jeff Grosse, Bender & Maüs. Get there early as it'll most probably sell out fast.

Another out-of-towner, Switch, will also hit hard @ Les Saints. Opening for the man are locals Bind, Sean Kosa and Jordan Dare. Jacking house is on the menu.

At Blizzarts, Plateau Saturdays continue to impress with quality guests. This week : Nu Ravers on the Block.



The Booka Shade afterparty coincides with the Microzoo Saturdays, and will be held all night at Café de Lima. Spinning their souls bare, Nathan Burns & Jeff Grosse will welcome some very special guests. This flyer is so fuckin' special that it easily gets my vote for flyer of the week !
