Just heard late last night that Sultan's agreed to spin at Opera this Sunday (Sept 17th).

Personally he's one of my favorite producers at the moment with some tracks that are simply off the scale including the yet to be released track that when Deep Dish played it at Bal en Blanc they said "that's it .. this is the track of the night" (admittedly because they also want to sign it on their label .. lol .. but it really was a kickass track) .. I think it's temporarily called "Together we rise".

Apparently he's also got a couple other new tracks that are just as amazing. He's gotten so big over the last couple of years that he rarely gets the chance to play in Montreal anymore! His style is somehow simultaneously progresive and smooth at the same time. Here's a few notable tracks some of you might want to check out to get a bit of an idea of his style:

(sultan and tonedepth ft stephanie vezina) sagres (version one 2002)
(sultan and tommyboy) you make me feel extacy (housematic mix)
(sultan and tonedepth ft heroic) back to you (mv back 2 breakz mix)
(mylo) in my arms and the music (tone depth and sultan mashup)
(u2) with or without you (sultan and miche remix 2003)
(g pal ft anna maria x) ocean of blue (tone depth and sultan remix 2003)
(micheal jackson) smooth criminal (sultan and tone depth remix 2004)
(evanescence) bring me back to life (sultan and tone depth remix 2004)
(portishead) roads (sultan and the greek remix 2003)
(noel sanger) carry on (sultan and tonedepth mix 2003)


------------------------ UPDATE 2006Sep15 -------------------------

Sorry I haven't replied to those who've e-mailed me for guestlist .. have been a little caught up with the tragedy at Dawson (I will reply to all who have contacted me so far on Friday). I'm not really in much of a mood to run a contest at this point, so anyone who wants guestlist simply e-mail me by 8pm on Saturday (I might push back the deadline to Sunday afternoon if I can, so feel free to e-mail me after that time and I'll see what I can do).

Nice.

Is Sultan a collaborater on ALi's "I Feel Speed?"

I guess this is proof that you must produce to make it globally in this industry. And it aint easy

Good for sultan. If i had a cookie i'd send it over

Yups moevalith ... if you've ever read my interview with Tiesto, then you'll appreciate that even he admits that the best way to break into "world class DJ" is to produce your own tracks!

Anyhow .. on a more on topic note .. as of tonight (yes Bob Sinclar kicked butt .. and so did Max Graham for those who were asking in other threads) I do have a limited amount of guestlist availlable to those who are interested in coming Sunday night.



------------------------- UPDATE ------------------------
THE INFORMATION BELOW IS NOW OBSOLETE!
READ THE FIRST POST IN THIS TOPIC FOR INFO!
-------------------------------------------------------------

The first 10 people to e-mail me will get guestlist for this sunday night at Opera for Sultan and Martin Villeneuve (MV)!

(guestlist is for 2 and up to 4 .. details will be sent via e-mail)

... after the first 10 e-mails I will randomly draw a few each day (starting thursday) until my list is full (only enter once and your name will remain for each day). After the first 10 there will be an extra 2 or 3 each day.

I will inform all winners via e-mail and/or phone (so be sure you give a valid e-mail AND phone number AND check your e-mail daily)!

To enter please send the following to my e-mail:

- Use "HOM Opera Sultan Passes" as the title of your e-mail

1- Your FULL NAME (only your first name and initial will apear on the guestlist)
2- Your date of birth (YYYYMmmDD .. ex: 1977Feb07).
3- Where you heard of this draw (in this case put "Trance Addict")
3b- (optional) Your username in above forum.
4- A VALID E-mail address (I will send you a confirmation to that e-mail to wish you must reply to me from)
5- A VALID PHONE NUMBER (I probably will not use this, but just in case I draw you at the last minute or someone ends up canceling, then it's best that I be able to contact you via phone), the type of phone the above number represents (home or cell or work) and the lastest time I can call the number.
6- (optional) Additional contact info (e-mails or phone numbers .. if phone please include type and latest call time)
7- (optional) Your favorite style of club music and favorite DJ (I might keep your name for future guest lists or more importantly to suggest to my contacts who to get for future events).


My e-mail is DJ @ HOM DOT com ... note that HOM = homeofmusic



Additional important info:


- You are responsible to bring legal ID WITH the name that appears on the guest list (as is/are the person(s) you invite with you).
- Guestlist might end as early as midnight .. be sure to arrive before 11:40pm.
- You are responsible to abide by MY AND OPERA'S dress code .. if you (or any member of your group) are wearing running shoes, trackpants, hats (yes you girls might get away with those sexy cowboy hats .. lol), caps, sloppy/ripped jeans, anything dirty, no deoderant, sweat pants OR anything considered unfashionable by the door staff AND guestlist staff then you might not be given access to the club. Please remember that Opera is a new and trendy club and that there is ZERO excuse for underdressing!

All winners will be contacted via e-mail OR phone!

I have enough guestlist to ensure the first 10 plus at least another 2 each day until Sunday.

If you enter more than once you will be disqualified!

Also note that anyone in the club and/or club music industry is also welcome to mention their connection to the industry in their comments and I might award extra invitation(s). It would be best that you mention any URL and connected e-mail so that I am able to confirm your identity (I do have a couple guestlist spots left over after doing the math .. lol .. and will gladly give them to people who work to make Montreal a better place to party)

I know this post is a little long and slightly anal in nature ... but my sincere hope is actually to get everyone who contacts me to have access which is why I've made this post so long and detailed! Obviously since this is the first (of potentially many guestlist contests for various clubs/events) I have no clue how many people will contact me, which is why I've made this into a contest format. On Sunday afternoon at 6pm after the last daily drawings (which I will try to keep as fair as posible), if there are extra spots availlable, I will most likely give last minute contact preference to active members of the various forums I've posted this information in ... so do not be shy to post your opinions/comments on Sultan in this topic, as it might make the last minute difference if I see your name and would like to offer you an extra spot.



Final note: SULTAN IS GOING TO KICK BUTT !!!

C'est tu une joke ?

criss c'est rendu plus difficile d'etre sur ta guestlist à l'Opera qu'un arabe qui traverse les douanes Américaines.

Tu rend ca tellement compliqué que ca me donne même pas envie d'y aller

quote:

- Guestlist might end as early as midnight .. be sure to arrive before 11:40pm.

You mean be there before 10pm

quote:

- There will be no difference in preference or chance of winning based on number of guests (+#) .. BUT .. the more women the better my chance of contacting you if there is any extra space at the end, but in the actual draws there will be no preference given based on your +#.

this shows how much it is a true contest

thats funny shit

Originally posted by DJ Charlie 1- criss c'est rendu plus difficile ... 2- You mean be there before 10pm 3- this shows how much it is a true contest 4- thats funny shit

1- Charlie .. I'm sorry if it seems complicated ... if anything, the only reason I'm doing it this way is because I do not know how many people will respond to me. In theory I really hope to offer everyone here (and from my site) guestlist and do not forsee any problems giving guestlist to all unless I get an overwelming amount.

As for my "conditions" ... these are actually not Opera's conditions, they are my own (the deoderant was just a funny little joke as an extra to entertain those of you like yourself who read through everything .. lol). I'm imposing these criteria to make sure I don't end up with people in track pants or 100% guys. More importantly, I'm putting all that stuff upfront so that people who do not go out as often as people like you or me don't end up surprised when they get to the door in running shoes and go "but I'm on the guestlist .. it shouldn't matter what I wear" .. you and I might know that dresscode comes before guestlist, but from experience I know not everyone knows this and I don't want anyone to show up for nothing.

I was also a little tipsy from Bob Sinclar last night when I wrote all that .. and if you know my posts in my forum, then you'll know that I have a tendency to ramble on (particularly if I'm alcohalized .. lol) .. so YES if your group changes .. then I have no problem with you contacting me before 5pm sunday to change your +#.

I'm also doing this to help out ... not because I'm really involved at this point .. so I've just secured a minimum number of guestlist, but it might increase as I talk to my contact throughout the week.

I also really hate it when I arrange guestlist for people who don't show up, which is why I added that extra term.

In the end however ... anyone who thinks my terms are a little too rigid .. well .. lol .. than they are welcome to get on someone else's guestlist or to quite simply pay the $15-20 (I was told it will not be more than $20 but I will try to comfirm) that it IS WELL WORTH paying to get hear Sultan spin. Opera is the hottest club in town at the moment and in my opinion Sultan is an amazing world class DJ/producer, and as such I don't think my terms are too much to ask for in exchange for getting you and up to 3 friends in for free. (Remember that most contests only give you one or two passes anyhow .. I may have terms for more .. but at least I'm making it posible to add more .. I've limited the number at 4 people because that's the best number for keeping things fluid at the door .. if you're going to be more than 4, then please feel free to tell another person in your group contact me or add a name +# at the end of your e-mail and I'll do my best to have both groups on the list if I can)

2- Nope ... if you really want to be on the safe side, then get there before 11:30pm. The first Sunday was a madhouse for Max Graham, but it was also their first week-end and they were still gelling together the door staff and entrance flow ... It was a full house last night for Bob Sinclar and there really weren't any rediculously long waits that I saw and things were running much smoother and fluid than on the first week-end. Besides .. if you're getting in for free, then I don't think it's too much to ask for people to get there a bit earlier so that it helps them balance the load at the door.

3- Again .. for the number of guestlist I've mentioned for the contest part I will run it as fairly and evenly as posible (which if you ask anyone who's known me from the last 7-8 years of running HOM they will tell you that I'm probably too fair sometimes) .. obviously if I have a few EXTRA spaces left over, I don't see any reason why it's such a bad thing for me to distribute them to my friends or to any other group of my choosing ... AGAIN though .. it is my hope that I able to get everyone in the 3-4 forums I've chosen to have guestlist access for Sunday night ... but seeing as how I have no idea how many people will respond, I'm doing things this rather longer way just to ensure there are no disappointments.

4- I've been told they are actually renting one of those sniffing dogs from the airport to enforce that rule ... so I highly suggest some Old Spice or Right Guard! lol


5- Note that this is the first time of hopefully many that I'm organizing something like this. I'm doing it to benefit YOU (well all of you clubbers who care enough about the scene to be part of communities like this one), to benefit SULTAN (or any other DJ/artist in the future) and to benefit clubs and the Montreal club scene itself. Since this is the first time, I'm going a little blind here and have chosen to do things in more of a "better safe than sorry" sort of way .. I'll definitely learn a great deal from this experience and modify things as needed for any future events I might choose to take part in. So although you might think I take your comments negatively, I actually do appreciate them and have noted them for next time and I'm actually going to make a couple of changes to make things simpler now)!

Please do understand that in the end I really will do my best to get you all in .. but I just don't want to make any promises where I'm not at least 99% sure I can deliver.


ANYHOW ... with all that out of the way .. unless there's any new questions (in the case I didn't spell everything out completely enough already .. lol), then I'd rather let this thread continue as other threads/discussions on upcoming events and concentrate on Sultan's work and/or sets.

So like I said depending on if your an NCM or Officer and your rank, you probably make at least $50,000 a year but most likely more. And depending on if you live at CFB Kingston your cost of living is probably very low as well, but even if you weren't cost of living in Kingston isn't that bad. Its only $30 which is cheaper than most nights at Stereo. Most of us on here who post about Stereo have put out probably hundreds and hundreds of dollars clubbing there just this year alone, and have never really complained for the most part. I know I sure as hell have.

I stopped reading after "Charlie"
