hmm... i just read the whole thread and have a bit more to add...
yes, residents often kill out-of-towners. many big name out-of-towners ride to recognition on the basis of their internationally distributed productions -which obviously have no real relation to their DJ skills.
you won't see Circus bringing huge out-of-towners every friday and saturday, to be honest, on the other hand, so we will be able to give residents, and many locals, a chance to shine...
as far as circus not surviving, i think anyone who goes, or has been, to the club itself, can see that it's something special. this is not a garage, or a big concrete room jam-packed with sophisticated sound and light gadgets, it's a beautiful room. designed with taste; pillars, mirrors, drapes, wood floors, bricks walls; a very different experience from other montreal afterhours. a lot has been invested in the design and look of the space, and i for one think it's a nice change of direction for clubbing.
as far as Ken Ishii, being a lover of hard tek myself, i would probably enjoy preach far more than ishii, just due to their styles. while ishii has been billed on friday nights in the past, it will be nice to hear him repping his more melodic, deep housy side on a saturday -if you've heard his recent cd, that's where he really excels, in my opinion
as far as the afterhours situation.... let's just be happy we live in the illest god-damned city in the world, huh?
