Night Vision 2.26

Y'all.

Last week's lack of content on our dear website has plunged the city into some undesserved chaos. People were seen in the streets wandering about, not really knowing where to go, and some giant line-ups even formed in front of places like Loft or even at House Nightclub, formerly home of the equally doubtful Living.

Let us correct this regrettable situation by letting you know about the best parties cookin' up for you during this coming week-end, a time also known as "the not-so-quiet calm before the labor day storm".


*News en vrac*

We're late in announcing it, of course, but Neon are ending their summer break with a bang on Sept. 1st, and MSTRKRFT are the headliners in what promises to shake some walls shut.

French maximalists Justice will be at Metropolis on Oct. 19th.

And the UK's Spektre, recording on Oliver Huntemann's "Dance Electric" label, will be at Bender's Panorama night on Oct. 6th, at the Mile End Bar. Check out their latest releases and be amazed.

Looks like Stitch is slowly creeping out of his hideout. He'll appear alongside Mana and NCV's Jason Deliz at this week's Mix Thursdays, at Saphir. He's been layin' low since he came back from Berlin last autumn, and his appearances are quite rare, so don't sleep !



At Mini's Overdose night @ Parking, none else than Zombie Nation will grace her decks. The man comes around, pretty much once a year, and the music he brings with him is of the deep & hard-hitting kind. His newest release on Turbo, "Lower State of Consciousness", co-produced by Tiga and featuring a remix by Justice, is every mother's nightmare.

What can I say ? Fridays are notorious for their tremendous emptiness. Don't despair, thought. We're working hard to bring you nice DJs every week at Bistro de Paris for our Bordello night, DJs you can enjoy for free while sipping on a cheap beer and looking out on St-Denis wondering where the hell your life is heading. This week's edition of Bordello features X-Cube, and we can promise you 4/4 to the floor all night. Lift your elbow, swallow, repeat.



Red Bull Music Academy and Miles Moore present a party for the soul at Musée Juste Pour Rire. Opening with a broken beats set by the legendary Daz I-Kue, of Bugz in the Attic fame, it will be followed by a live performance from NYC's Tortured Soul, and then by Fred Everything's farewell Lazy Days session. That's right, farewell, because the man's moving to San Francisco for good. His friends from OM already living there & all, it might be considered a wise move for him, but one thing's for sure : we'll miss him. You can avoid the premature nostalgia by gettin' there, and moving your butt all night.


*25/08*

Seems to be the ideal day for impromptu outdoor parties.

At Île Ste-Hélène's Tour Lévis, "Time of Your Life 2007" is billed as THE yearly rendez-vous the the gang. Which gang ? Dunno. But the line-up is very nice indeed : Omni, Marinelli, Étienne Côté-Paluck and more will spin the wheels of dance.



At the Mont-Royal gazebo, "Éco_Tronick" proposes a wide range of styles, from IDM to breakbeat, psy-trance, and even reggae ! I will personally deliver an electro set at 7 PM, and the Hardsteppers are playing live at 4:45. It's going down from 10 AM to 9 PM, and it's free all day.


*26/08*

Piknic this week goes back to Place de l'Homme after two successive Sundays at the Floralies Garden, and the musical menu gets tweaked and twisted. It's breakbeat time ! Spacekadet, Robb G, Pinky38, Sase One and Bliss will all showcase their respective styles, and my bet is that we're going to see lots of camo bouncing around !



After absorbing your weekly dose of sun & fun, it's time to head to Saphir to finish off the night with a healthy dose of filth. Mary Hell's Beat me Up night welcomes none else than myself, Clifford Brown, for a night of heavy funked-up electro and tech-house with twisted nerves and shattered glass. Shooters, rowdy people, and sudden bathroom hookups are to be expected. There's a nice terrasse and all the booze you can drink, and more.


*Next week*

The most laborious labor day week-end ever. Jeff Grosse visits our Bordello. Mirrorballs invade Wellington St. Stephan Bodzin & MSTRKRFT tear the city in two. Two Piknics feature Misstress Barbara and Tommie Sunshine. We die.

Until then... turn around and get slapped !
