first of all, i dont feel that i'm being dissed here, or anything. message boards are good because people can freely express opinions, no matter what they are.
the whole "big DJ/ promoting the club" things that you're saying are very right, and bring up an interesting debate... there's no doubt that what circus has done is invested more in the space's design than in the artists we bring, and the sound and lights.. it's a different concept -which i think is good, mostly cause it's different, and there may be room for that in montreal.
on the other hand yes, ken ishii is an international DJ (wether you like him or not... ), the first one that circus has brought... don't expect them on a weekly basis, its not gonna happen. re. chicago-style. mighty kat plays at circus on a regular basis... expect to hear her again on a saturday soon.
i think the producer / DJ distinction is one that has been lost in the last ten yrs, as the rave scene and electronic music scene has grown and become more of a commercial commodity, artists build their international rep on their releases (CDs, records) instead of their DJ sets. its cheaper to send CDs all around the world than it is to take a plane yourself with a bag of a hundred vinyls. because of this many "international DJs" don't even have a comparable level of DJ skill to someone like, say, eddy jasmin (for example) who spends his entire week DJing.. he may not be recognized in Paris, or London, but can string a dozen records together way better than a lot of "international DJs"...the props that i read here for locals at aria (for example, once again) just supports that notion.
