Hi all, this, I have been thinking about saying for a long time, but now that Biggy has released Arias June/early summer line-up, it is time...

Sorry Happy, I know you're a great guy, but I have to say this...

Aria management should hold more raves to really compete with 514, what do they have??? BEB??? To be rivals of Sona and their management, they should focus on the big names for raves they should throw... to really take advantage of such... they need to find out when 514 raves are to be held, and hold a rave the weekend before with bigger names than 514, that will knock 514 off its feet... 514 is really disappointing me, Sona is a dilapidated building not worth going anymore, well not until they move, hopefully it will be better... but for a trance addicts' (me) point of view... hmmm what will I prefer... a summer filled with 8 hour sets of XL, Preach, Lafleche, and other locals that should only be allowed to spin for an hour each, max, per week, or month... or a summer filled with huge names such as Misstress Barbara (I know a few of you don’t like her, but I do...), Steve Lawler, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Howells, Rank-1, Astral Project etc, etc... What would really be nice, even though Aria is a great after hour, with its high tek sound and lights, its still a little too small for these names... If you were to bring all these names to different rave venues that can total in or more than 3000-4000 capacity, you would have the best of both worlds, for everyone (prove me wrong... look at Tiesto for example... no way could he play at Sona, way too small... that is exactly what happened for Sasha/Digweed)... I will still go to Aria something like 10 times this summer, to see the big names, which Aria has delivered, and Sona, once, not even... 514 raves... I will really have to see what the line-up will be like, but I won't count on much...

I mean, why even be bothered by 514... ok... Tiesto is an awesome DJ to have spin in Montreal, at a venue that is big enough to hold him, and I really thank 514 for bringing him, but other than that... not much... think about it, other than Tiesto in 2 weeks, and Picotto at swirl, which I heard (from friends) he wasn't that good (too hard) what have they really had at either raves or Sona??? (ok you may point out a DJ or two that I haven't mentionned, but still there is no way you can say anything... Celebration: XL, XL, XL, and Misstress Barbara, I think I heard Sanchez, but he may have played for 15 minutes WHEN XL ATE HIM AND TOOK OVER.... Sona: Sasha/Digweed (but way too many people, you were barely able to breath let alone dance) ... Other raves before that, same thing, XL/Lafleche/Preach, I mean, JESUS CHRIST... I'm fed up...

I've had enough... Aria... you've shown me what Montreal Night Life is all about... 514/Sona... forget about it... you don't deserve my money (except for Tiesto)...

This may piss a lot of people off, but that’s my way... be all the way straight up or shut the fuck up and go to the corner.... seriously...

My 2 cents, but I think that was worth a couple of bucks...

TechnoFreak

I am happy to see some people who like the line-up for this summer.
Thank you man.
But it's not over, I will add many more names for this summer so be ready for a crazy summer.
As for raves party, you will hear some news really soon.
We are working on something really cool, big, different etc.. right now.

Yeah I guess you are right....Aria is much better than 514.

Here are the aspects I think are better at ARIA:

- SOUND -----> the sound is CLEAR, unlike the SONA, or 514 sound system that you can only hear the BOUM BOUM BOUM and not the high frequencies!

- DJ'S ----> they have much better dj's than 514. Biggy should work on getting Tiesto next fall!

- PLACE ----> Aria has a much nicer place!! We have room to dance and the dj is located at a great spot! The lightings are also amazing. Biggy should work on getting LASERS and it would be perfect!

The only thing Sona has more than Aria is the goodlooking PEOPLE. People are much more goodlooking at Sona than at Aria. It may sound stupid, but when there are some goodlooking people, it attracts more people to the place! Je ne sais pas ca serait quoi la solution, mais ce n'Est pas d'engager des danseurs en tk!!!


Thank God Aria was born....'cause I wouldn't have get to see all the magnificent dj sets I heard lately -----> ARMIN, FERRY, ORNADEL. Can't wait for GIELEN, RANK 1, OAKENFOLD.

Biggy, can't wait to see what kind of event you'll produce soon! You should get some HARD TRANCE dj's out there ----> DUMONDE, COSMIC GATE, BLANK & JONES. They can drive the crowd crazy!!!!

Thanks again Biggy for all you've done for the trance scene...and hope you'll continu to surprise us!

well i want to see sona lineup for summer.

ok... i have to retrack my statement... i think sona is the best after hour in the whole entire world, i mean look at these fabulous names... I'm sorry aria... i much prefer listening to XL for 200000000000000000000 hours straight and give myself 50 annurisms in doing so, rather than listening to these no names such as oakenfold, howwles, lawler and rank-1.. i mean where did you dig up these losers... they dont understand what trance is... i believe that XL is the best trance DJ in the world....


IN CASE ANY OF YOU ARE REALLY SLOW OR HAVE SOMETHING LIKE 50 SCREWS LOOSE, I WAS KIDDING AROUND... how can sona, still maybe considered by many peoples eyes be the best after hour in montreal... I dont understand what is wrong with the sona management... they used to have the best DJs come to montreal... its been something like a good 6-7 months that we havent heard the big namesfrom them... maybe its because most djs are afraid of XLs stomach, hey and thats why Tiesto chose to spin for sona management, XL won't even be there... as for picotto... he has balls for showing up at swirl, when XL was looking on drooling... i dont get it... whatever... ARIA ROCKS, SONA SUCKS....

Well even if no comaprison can be made between SONA and ARIA, the lin up in Arie is much better then SONA's. Maybe they are preparing something as Zing said but idon't think they can have better the ARIA.
Thanx BIGGY for the coming summer, and also thanx For my old friend Zing.

Happy ma nsitak, b7ebbak ya gamil

sona's line up looks really shit, but they dont need the names, sona is a big enough name already to draw a crowd, especially tourists from the u.s who come up from burlington in khakis, everyone in cargo's lets go to peel pub and then sona

oh ya xl sucks donkey ballz, im sure i saw him eating donuts while spinning at sona(just kidding)
peace

hahahahaha vermont boys

DARK MAN dude i swear u really made laugh hard u got it damn right about this one
