Thanks MTLRIZZO , you are correct.

There is plenty of house played all weekend however Friday is promoted as more of an electro night ( however I must confess when I open or close friday nights I don't play electro at all , more tech house and prog house ) with the feature DJ typically playing electro/commercial stuff.

Sat nights is promoted as the "techno / minimal" night and this is true , You can hear alot of tech house at the start of the night as well.

Other then that , during drinking hours you can check out Ritual , NV , Encore, and I think 426 may still have a house room.

I should add that Oct.30th I play an extended set with my friend all night and despite the face it's a Friday there will be no electro house.

It's just tracks that we love to play going all night..... progressive house....tech house ...minimal.....whatever we feel like...

I may even drop my own production that night too , working on my first house track right now.

Check out Mercury Lounge (in the market) at least once, Fri or Sat, for a drink or two, around 10-11PM. It's an Ottawa institution. Downtempo tribal-ish loungy sexy house, but builds up over time, and quite often there are live percussionists. Great to get the clubbing night started.

True , sorry I forget that spot.... yes very nice house music can be heard there too. Great place to have a drink and warm things up!

Sorry I forgot LAGO!!! Lago is open during drinking hours and has recently had some major headliners....

Sander Van Doorm , Markus Shultz , Roger Sanchez , Deadmau5 and others....

Yes it's hard to believe such major names are appearing in Ottawa at a nightclub but it's true.

I totally agree 100% bro , however the only way we can help Ottawa is by exposure to quality talent and supporting the local clubs. Otherwise it will only continue to be a graveyard...

You got to start somewhere...

Actually 426 is now called Encore I have yet to check it out yet, probably like any other place here in Ottawa that closes down and then reopens with a new name. Still the same on the inside ....... *le sigh*
