Night Vision 2.30

Here it is, folks. The dangerously turkey-obsessed holiday is here. Those of you not going out of town to visit some faraway relatives will be glad to know that there are many fine cultural manifestations they can enjoy while in town, and others might want to regret being born. Pin flyers to your bedroom wall, get your sorry ass to the SAQ, and mix a few preparatory cocktails - you'll need the strength.


*News en vrac*

One word : NYPC. Or rather, New Young Pony Club ! They'll be playing the Just for Laughs Museum on Monday, Oct. 22nd.

Tonight's the night : my week-end kicks off with Tiga's appearance at Overdose. Mini opens. It's become quite a tradition and takes place in a sea of sweat-covered bodies, all very alive thank you. At Parking, of course.



A local landmark, Sarcastic, launches his first 12" on Wikkid Records, tonight at Saphir. It's also Pinky38's birthday. With B Rock & M-Killah also on the bill, it's a night to remember. Hazily.

At Club Soda, Pop Montreal presents a Fool's Gold showcase with an A-Trak & DJ Mehdi tag team, Kid Sister, Nick Catchdubs and French zombie Kavinsky, hosted by Chromeo. If it's not the hipster's ultimate wishlist, I wonder what is.

It's time to get down. Akarien productions are doing it again. It's happening at S.A.T., and it involves a healthy dose of well-dressed clubber specimens, as well as some pounding electro-house. Fu Ancko opens, OSO3 is dangerously close to OSG, Mini plays and Omni concludes the night with a smashing live set. Gimme danger !



At Bistro de Paris' Bordello, we'll be sampling the fine sounds of Chris Paré, the snappy Compact Disco & Loose Joints resident, joining the Brown Cliff and Romeo Kardec. He'll exceptionally drift away from his disco habits to offer us tech-house on a hot plate, all the while getting intoxicated on cheap booze. No cover, good vibes, drunken stupor !


*06/10*

Spektre has been postponed, and tonight at Panorama Bender welcomes none else than Rave Montreal's founder and curator, Creator. The two of them recently shattered the Piknic's stage to great effect, and they shouldn't refrain from doing the same with the Mile End Bar.

At l'Appartement, Eresys keep on keepin' on with special guest Nanalog (a.k.a. Luci) live and the usual resident suspects Mono-Poly, le Boucher & Kressel.


*07/10*

Big, Black & Blue : at the Olympic Stadium. www.bbcm.org

While the "Power Trip" takes place in the East, Stereo welcomes none else than Eric Prydz, member of the feared Swedish House Mafia. Coming to North America for the first time in his life, he'll give us a taste of his latest productions and hopefully, draw a huge crowd of 80's aerobics fan as babe-a-licious as in the video for his hit "Call on Me" !



Across the street, the Crescendo night going down at Circus afterhours promises to be quite nice. It proposes a good alternative to the ordinary commercial madness going on all around our good city, with three highly effective locals : minimalist Axel Klein, technoïd X-Cube and maximalist Omni. A natural progression, then. Don't sleep on that one, kiddos.



Folks at Saphir aren't taking a night off to appear at mama's table - they're in full-on party mode, with their... "Party Animal" edition ! With Cherry Cola, Mary Hell and Sean Kosa.



At Salon Officiel, heavy fumes will emanate from the sound system as the EzBake crew takes control for their monthly event. As usual eclectism is the word of the day, coming in close tie with "alcohol" and "intoxication"; residents dbVaig and Kiffah welcome DJ Dialect and myself, Clifford Brown. From dubstep to reggae, electro to tech-house, sober to mashed. Free !


*09/10*

At Salon Daomé's warm & funky mid-week Dizzyphunk night, Phil Larochelle teams up with resident househead Nathan Burns. It's a family affair open to all !


*Next week*

Digitalism are coming back ! Bleep bleep !

Until then, chill out !
