Tribal House played at Stereo is progressive. Chus & Ceballos, Victor Calderone, DJ Vibe etc are Tribal Progressive House DJs. Can't you recognize a progressive sound?

Le Passeport? Not really, they hire anyone in their crew. One of my friends got his residency at Passeport the week after he mixed for his first time ever.

That is the first time I have ever seen anyone refer to them as that.

You should get use to it because it's a progressive structure, it's progressive house by definition.

I'd call the sound they made their name with "progressive tribal", the original Stereo Recordings releases. Not so much anymore though.

I disagree, not every night is perfect(name me a club where it is), but they work very hard on bigger boookings and I have some really good fun there.

Cause lets not kid ourselves, you're not gonna fill this big club with Dj Douche from Brossard.

i've given up on montreal. There is not one place that plays good music blend, has attractive stylish people with interesting jobs that aren't douche bags . REgarding the music, too many djs get stuck in their micro genre and play awful shit including their own tracks and it is just awful. That or the dj that is just all over the place. The only good things happening are private. But ya, every time we are in montreal and go out, it is always just mediocre.

The best nights out I've had recently have been at Bleury Bar, Move D on Halloween was a great night.. good looking crowd, everyone was having a good time.

And Roman Flugel, also at Bleury.. the most educated crowd I've ever seen in Montreal easily. A bit more dudes then at Move D, but still some decent tail. Crowd cheers when an acid line crept into the mix put a smile on my face.

I heard Eddie C's gonna be there next month, gonna check that out.

Went to Peopl last night.....I used to really enjoy going to UN when it first started.

Closing Dj was just awful last night....no rhythm, no soul.....just pounding and very crusty techno.

Also What is the deal with having 20 people behind the Dj booth these days...it looks like Assssss...

we'll have to agree to disagree, almost all the bookings I've seen at NCG [top level] are the big name, generic sounding, watered down, commercial ones (i.e. AN21, Skrillex, Fedde, Dirty South, Wolfgang Gartner, etc).

I understand their business model, in any case, as these names may be the safest way to fill that massive top level.

And for sure, you can have some fun there, regardless, but most of the 'quality' bookings seem to be downstairs. As the thread starter was asking for places that play 'decent' house music, I personally wouldn't recommend NCG for that..... except, again, the bottom level.

'quality' is relative term but us TA nerds know what I'm talking about

Considering that I have been playing there for more than 3 years, and that one of my best friends is one of the owners, I think I know a little bit how it works there.

To put it simply, Passeport is often used as a platform for djs that are starting in the business. One of its goals is to give certain djs a chance to mix live in front of a crowd for the first time. I always try to remember that when I am booking djs to play with me.

I learned a whole lot playing there and it prepared me well for other gigs (such as the ones that I have at Circus, for instance).

It is one of the reasons why this club is very unpretentious and friendly. And one of the reasons why this club attracts people that actually go out for the music.

Thanks for your feedback.

Agreed.. what Passeport does for new DJs is great. The pay structure is also very fair, 4 of the 5 dollars per head who pay cover are split among the DJs, and the bar keeps the rest.. or something similar to that. The sound isn't the best, but like Max said the crowd is cool.. Hugo's a great guy too.

I'm going to Peopl on saturday night for a birthday party. Onsulade is playing, I'm looking forward to checking out the new space.. haven't been since it was UN.

LA PALMA @ Daom� with Resident DJs Green & Lateez and guests is still going strong every first saturday of the month for the past 3 years now. I'll be there on Saturday after Igloo.

I had a good time at Peopl last night, the new layout is nice.. place was pretty busy, the crowd was good looking.. music was okay, Jojoflores was playing some afro house which I'm not a fan of, Osunlade played a decent set. I'm hoping for some more bookings there, I'd go back.

LaMouche is uber crap.
