hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If it's true, this sucks...BIGtime 
My nights:
1)Howells+Digweed-Sept 2005
2)DJ Dan-Nov 2005
3)ummmmmmmmm I'm not sure...Possibly Howells for NYE 2005?
Oh and MORE THAN HONOURABLE mention: each and every one of Creator's sets, especially those journey-like 6 hour ones, when he was tired and couldn't hear anything and everything hurt...he was there. He is why Aria still breathed life lately. Point final. I've told him so myself and many people who actually work there told me the same, so, hats off to the best MTL DJ. Hopefully, bigger and better things await you my sweet!

One of the things I most regret is not being here for Aria's glory years when they kept bringing consistantly amazing acts...Sven, Liebing, Hawtin etc.
My top three:
3. Mauro + Junkie XL
2. James Holden
1. Sasha + Steve Porter + Tall Paul
..not to mention I discovered all my favorite locals; Creator, Maus and Mini in Aria.
Aria has always been the epitome of what an afters should look and sound like for me. I will never forget it.

First show at Aria was Hybrid in I think 2003? 6 hour set or so; they fucking owned, and I was absolutely blown away. I was in Montreal for a week from Vancouver and could barely comprehend how good the venue, the sound, and vibe was; nothing in Vancouver even remotely fucking compared to the goodness of Aria.
I'm really, really, really upset that it's closing.

My Aria top 3:
3. Scott Bond
2. Sasha
1. Hybrid
my best
Sasha 2003
Carl Cox 2003
Armin 2002
Deep Dish 8h
Picotto 2002
Sasha 2005 omggg
yeah, Carl Cox 2003 was a SICK night! As was Chris Liebing a few years ago (possibly 03 as well?)
I think the demise of Techno in the city led up to Arias closing. I've been out of the "scene" for a few years, but have noticed a pretty sharp decline in the techno lineup over the years
once the minimal fad is done with it will be back....it always comes back.
My most memorable:
Carl Cox 2003
Armin 2004
Richy Hawtin and Lee Burridge 2004/5?
Sickkk!
I missed out on the glory days... fuck...
1) Digweed/Howells
2) Preach F1 Weekend
3) Ferry Corsten (April 2005)
1. Ferry April 15th 2005 - the night I fell in love! That date is etched in my mind forever. I had so much fkin fun that night, every other time I went to Aria was just trying to recreate the feeling I had that night. Heard so many classic tunes for the first time that night, it just blew my mind.
2. DJ Dan/BBB/Louis November 2005 - Lovvvved this night. The place was more packed at 11:30am from Louis' set than it was at peak hours when DJ Dan came last month.
3. Junkie XL/Mauro Picotto - So many TAs were there! And it was fkin cool how they played on opposite sides of the room. I remember Mauro starting his set off with such banging techno. Great night.
I'll miss that place sooo much. The feeling of coming down those stairs for the first time each night...the lighting, the great happy times I had there! Me and my friends worshipped that place.
anf: Speedy J was amazing, I loved every second of it.
Laurent Garnier was indescribable.

it remains as not only my favorite aria night, but the best set/performance i have ever heard by anyone at any venue.
pure genius.
My fav
Deep Dish (new years)
Tiesto(formula one)
Preach(anytime he was there)
This is sad I hate the new trend going through montreal. I guess all good things must come to an end. I was there at the end of sona and never thought I would go anywhere else but Aria became my new home. Now I guess I will have to find a new home again. I just hope they give me a chance to say farewell with a great party.
