Hello there.
You got Circus and Stereo, two afterhours clubs with big sound systems.. Stereo's in particular is just awesome. No alcohol though, and the clubs only open at 1am.. they both stay open until 9-10am. Stereo sometimes shuts down at noon when a big name comes and the club is packed.
You got smaller venues like Salon Daome, Habitat, Le Bleury and Laika.. .which are regular hours clubs with smaller capacity, 200-400 people. Good crowds there, you'll find some good deep house underground acts. No dress code, very laid back crowd. Not really trendy spots but great times over there. Cheap booze..
You got Velvet and Peopl in the old port.. trendier spots with some decent international bookings. Drinks are more expensive, the girls are hot.. not really big spots either but older crowd, I've had good times at these places.
You got New City Gas, which is a huge warehouse with a capacity of 3000 people and crazy laser show. Prices are rediculous, and big EDM names like Tiesto and Aviccii etc.. play. Not my thing, I've never been but if you like the big room trance edm stuff, the place looks amazing.
Then you got Piknic Electronik, every sunday during the summer there's a day party 2pm-10pm. Amazing vibe, great bookings. Mutek Festival in early June which is cutting edge electronic music and visuals. Igloofest, which is Piknic but winter time outdoors, which just finished a few weeks ago.
I'm also seeing a LOT more private loft parties with even more underground techno if you're into the vinyl-only type music. TBA locations, etc.. lots of fun.
Overall, Montreal has a great electronic music scene. There's something for everyone, you'll find what you're looking for guarenteed.
