Night Vision 2.11

Greetings, montrealers. Out-of-towners as well. Even foreigners (because I wanna know what love is). And even... aliens ? As Ice T once sang : "If you're from Mars and you've got a pussy, we'll fuck you". We're not that sex-oriented here at Mirrorballs, so let's just say that we'll appreciate you as you are, even if you don't speak our language or if you have weird green horns coming out of your armpits when you get tickled.

You probably don't have time to waste reading such insanities this week, because you're too busy partyin'. Is that right ? Is that so ? Tell me more !

I believe the same applies for all of us. So why I try to get in my '87 hot pants and put my Kiss makeup on, why don't you take a look at the orgiastic description of upcoming events ? Call your friends for guest lists. Start drinkin' now and arrive mashed. If you lose your coat tonight, it don't matter at all, cuz you're hot !


*News en vrac*

Old news... Richard Bartz will be at Parking next week, April 5th. The guy is BIG in Germany, he's a Gigolo, and he's effective. Serious dancers need apply.

Also at Parking, on April 19th, it's Mini's birthday !! Happy birthday babe ! The week after, Misstress Barbara, having just released the kick-ass and melodic "Barcelona" EP on James Holden's Border Community, will be at Overdose. Good lord.


*29/03*

What's up with the end of March ? F.A.M.E. welcomes some high quality dudes tonight. Québec City's M.I.M., founder of the Klandestino night and minimalist supreme, plays with a well hung Kardec Vs Kosa tag team. It's going to be dirty, sweet and hard-hitting all at once, and if you're nasty, the Owl will bite ya ! At Academy Dancehall.



Saphir's Mix Thursdays celebrate Sarcastic's birthday, with J-Fizz and the Rastitute. I wish ya many more years of partyin', dear Sarcastic. And if a fistfight erupts, my money's on ya !

Marinelli will oversee the musical control at Helm, where you can have a few bites of style and a few pints of brew.

And once again FancyFhreek, Diagraf & Deebacc are offering you a free, fun night out at Pas-Sages, where minimal tech is the word, and gettin' mashed is the law.


*30/03*

At Stereobar, it's Oly Arsenal's 30th birthday at Swank, and Jeff Fontaine tags along to make sure it will be forever reminded.

Another fine-tuned Soirée Risquée takes place at Academy, with none else than Kasimir Popstock, "Russia's #1 techno vocalist" !! The guy is fuckin' nuts, and funny as hell. The night also features Arthur the Techno Dog (who generously teamed up with The Mole to give him some exposure) and Vincent Lemieux.

At S.A.T., the Peer Pressure crew's monthly Showtime will feature Spank Rock, Amanda Blank and Pase Rock, as well as multi-talented residents Hatchmatik & A-Rock. It's DL Jones' birthday, so happy birthday dude !



If your bones are stronger than trees and your skin can't be pierced by love, you might want to show up at the Oxy Cottontail loft party, where Oxy will mix the good shit, alongside live acts by Pad Class (the name says it all), Nellboy (the Irish prodigy) and DJ sets by Ottawa's Jokers of the Scene, Galaksy, Jordan Dare, and lotsa others. The capacity is extremely limited, and it promises to be hot as hell, so get there early, fools.


*31/03*

The UK's Chris Duckenfield, who in the not-so-distant past signed brilliant mixed CDs on Turbo (Sheffield Mix Sessions) and Soul Jazz (Bad Acid), will hit Academy Dancehall with Amir Javasoul. Duckenfield is also half of legendary duo SWAG, so don't sleep ! House heads rejoice !



At Café de Lima, Maüs welcomes Vega for a nice night of tech-house delights.

The Ed Banger crew's in town once more, and will attempt to take the roof off Club Soda for the warm season. Justice, Busy P, Mehdi & SebastiAn will probably make lots of hears bleed, and lots of hearts will stop beating when confronted with this beautiful, tear-inducing distortion. Vive la France, bordel de merde !

Milan's king of prog-trance & electro, DJ Remo, shows up at Bender's Panorama night, and will destroy the floor with his incendiary rythms. De-li-cious !


*01/04*

The ideal place to be, of course, is the Cabane à Sucre Électronik. The Pïknic team does it again, and what more could you honestly ask for ? You get to stuff yourself like a pig, and get drunk to the sounds of Remo, Pan/Tone, Sid LeRock and Mini. Get your tickets fast - 35$ includes transportation.



If you ain't dead after that crazy-ass week-end, Beat me Up at Saphir is what it takes to put you down. Mary Hell kicks you in the nuts, Haris Pilton punches you in the face, and Sean Kosa spits on your corpse.


*02/04*

Rock n' Wild slowly takes off at Alizé, and this week I've been invited to sonically reduce you to ashes. Dirty party vibes, male and female babes, and lots of booze are on the menu.


*03/04*

Dizzy or Telephunk ? Who's asking you to choose ?! Hop in between the Daomé & Academy now that it's warm enough and that both nights are extremely cool.


*Next week*

ADULT. and Trash Fashion glam things up. Some people dressed in white go to an extra long meeting at the Palais des Congrès - it might last all night, so ask your secretary to cancel Monday's meetings, please.

Until then, hop 'til you drop !
