i'm not getting involved w any politics.............................

there's way too much of that in montreal...


the question is ... will stereobar still try to book a 'circus dj'?

i wouldnt say no if they asked me.

i dont see how stereobar is of any competition to circus.

i always go to stereobar before my sets and round up the troops before my sets at circus... heck even the owner of stereo comes to circus to hang out during my sets sometimes...

pointles. but drama nonetheless.

Vivie-Ann

Totally agree with Viv...

I was talking to a few people and also on MTLNIGHTs about people promoting After-8 after Circus. It's not technically direct competition to Circus and it would only be healthy for the scene. Most the Circus patrons don't even know about it and probably would like to party somewhere else if they are already still at Circus when the lights go on.

ps viv read your myspace message.

I dont think posting that kind of stuff will help in any way the situation

I think it's temporary, and yes, indeed, some nights shouldnt be played by circus djs

Not all of them, but a couple of occasions should be stricly stereo artists

Whatever

I hate drama and i dont think posting this here will help any of us

Let them negociate all that

It'll only piss off the person you pointed out and funk up the negociations

Whats being said in a circus meeting has nothing to do with TAs

Common

By the way i didnt say if i agreed or not with what you just said...

I just think its none of your buisness

By the way, theres a lot of politics that arent written on these boards that could make look any club very bad

Including stereo

But again, it has nothing to do with TAs

Trying to make circus look bad wont bring back Erik / Bruno / Stefane / Any circus djs

Wrong choice

I cry, no Lippe this weekend.

I also cry that Louis ignores my Facebook messages.

Louis, I understand that these politics have nothing to do with us as TAs, but there is such a thing as freedom of speech, and I think a message board devoted to electronic music in Montreal is a pretty good place for things like this to be openly discussed.

whoever knew about this... maybe not the smartest move to post it on a board but... there was nothing really offensive...

but...

that means someoene who was trusted with the information opened their damn mouth... and that isnt cool. that person probably thought they could trust their friend aswell. And that friend probably thought they would look "cool" if people knew that they knew that information.

as for me, my opinion is : shit happens. If both business are talking to each others and are negotiating, well that is good. I dont see an issue of having circus djs play at stereobar or after8, how could it be direct competition? Circus is close during those times! Its not like stealing the customers!!!

Or do like the old days at the aria... put a bunch of people outside the exit flyering everybody...

I really don't see what the fuzz is about. It's been like that for years!

When you were playing at Sona, you weren't playing at Aria.
When you were playing at Aria, you didn't play for Circus.
And now this.

Same old. A lot of DJs lost their jobs over this. The only difference is that this time a news was put out about it.

When I played for After8 and I was at Aria, I ASKED JFL if it would piss him off and he said no. If he would have said yes, I would have simply decline the invitation cause Aria was my home. Way more simple to ask than put them in front of facts.

It sucks, but it's a business and it belongs to the DJ to accept or not the terms and conditions of the employer, or say fuck this and quit. But like any rotten details of the club industry, it doesn't belong on public boards and it's really a personal issue and a case by case job decision.

It is logical, that even if After8 or Stereobar are not in the same hours, that Circus doesn't want to cooperate in Stereo's making money. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but it's certainly not a new phenomena. Just like Bell would do everything to take back any part of Videotron's market.

I agree, wtf is the fuss about.
So what, club politics, party is a party is a party, just party and enjoy.
