Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

An unprecedented success
for the 13th edition of White Party Week

A breeze of festive delirium blew over Montreal for the 13th edition of Montreal’s White Party Week, which lit up the city’s night life from April 5 to 9 with a series of extremely well attended events. The main happening, the White Party itself, was a victim of its own success and unfortunately had to turn away customers at the door of the Palais des Congrès de Montréal. The organizers wish to apologize once again to ticket holders who were frustrated by the unexpected situation. So special did the atmosphere at the big night turn out to be that a maximum of participants decided to stay until very late in the morning. This lack of turnover, which did not reflect the experience of previous editions, was the source of the problem getting in. All those who could not get into the event have been able to have their tickets refunded according to the ways and means presented on the balenblanc.com website. These shortcomings notwithstanding, the fact remains that the 13th edition of White Party Week will certainly go down as one of the most successful ever, as a dense crowd danced with unflagging energy in the two rooms for the entire fifteen hours of the event.

White Party Week: DJs stirred by the crowd

Enthused by roughly 14,000 energized participants in spectacular settings, the artists in attendance offered sets that were every bit a match for their reputations. On the tech/trance side, after a stage-setting introduction from Wizz, Holland’s Sander Van Doorn more than lived up to expectations with a frenzied session. Not to be outdone, the very popular Armin Van Buuren excelled once more, rousing the hall with hypnotic waves of well cushioned rhythms. British trio Above and Beyond then took over with a brilliant demonstration of their expertise, a prelude to Montreal’s Preach, who brought the proceedings to a close with another of his inspired performances. The House room, meanwhile, giving off an underground vibe with its immense drawings of superheroes, pulsated at a high frequency all night long thanks to DJs like Cesar Romero and Stephan Grondin, who pulled out all the stops from the word go. The monumental Peter Rauhofer followed with his usual flair, lighting up the crowd with a singular selection of rhythms. Following the stunning vocal contributions of Israeli singer Maya, her compatriot Offer Nissim raised the roof even higher, heightening the intensity with powerful mixes that were a hit with everyone in the room. Sultan followed with a brilliant set, which gave way to yet another masterly session courtesy of Deep Dish’s Ali and Sharam, to end the morning.

Montreal nights to the rhythm of related events

About fifteen satellite events rounded off the program for Montreal’s White Party Week this year. International artists like DJ Dan, Max Graham, Princess Superstar, Axwell, Twisted Dee, Sherry Vine and Joey Arias contributed to heightening the quality of these special evenings in various Montreal clubs. Feeling all the comforts of home, Erik El, Patrick Dream, Bruno Brown, Malick and several other local DJs also honored the festive reputation of Quebec’s metropolis.

Thanks, and till next year

The organizers would like to thank all the sponsors and partners who contributed to the success of the 13th White Party Week. A big thank-you as well to the entire Playground Management team and to everyone who worked on making this edition a triumph. Next year’s event, the 14th edition, will take place from Thursday to Monday, March 20 to 24, 2008.

Une réussite sans précédent pour la
13e édition de la Semaine Bal en Blanc

Un vent de folie festive a déferlé sur Montréal au cours de la 13e édition de la Semaine Bal en Blanc qui a battu son plein du 5 au 9 avril avec une série d’événements très courus. À commencer par le Bal en Blanc lui-même qui, victime de son succès, a malheureusement dû refouler des clients à la porte du Palais des Congrès de Montréal. Les organisateurs tiennent encore une fois à s’excuser auprès des détenteurs et détentrices de billets qui ont été frustrés par cette situation imprévue. L’atmosphère était si exceptionnelle lors de la grande nuit du Bal en Blanc qu’un maximum de participants a décidé de rester jusqu’à très tard le matin. L’absence de roulement de clientèle, prévu de bonne foi selon l’expérience des éditions précédentes, a ainsi été à la source de ce problème à l’entrée. Toutes les personnes n'ayant pu entrer à l'événement ont pu obtenir le remboursement de leurs billets selon les modalités présentées sur le site balenblanc.com. En dépit de ces inconvénients, il demeure que la 13e édition du Bal en Blanc aura certainement été l’une des plus réussies, une foule compacte ayant dansé avec une énergie imparable dans les deux salles, durant les quinze heures qu’a duré l’événement.

Bal en Blanc : des DJ inspirés par la foule

Stimulés par les quelque 14 000 participants survoltés au milieu des aménagements spectaculaires, les artistes en présence ont offert des prestations à la hauteur de leur réputation. Du côté tech/trance, le Hollandais Sander Van Doorn a plus que répondu aux attentes avec un set endiablé après une introduction efficace de Wizz. Égal à lui-même, le très populaire Armin Van Buuren a de nouveau excellé, soulevant la salle avec des vagues hypnotiques de rythmes bien appuyés. Le trio britannique Above and Beyond a ensuite pris la relève avec une éloquente démonstration de son savoir-faire, en prélude au Montréalais Preach qui a clos le parcours avec une autre de ses prestations géniales. D’allure très underground avec ses immenses dessins de superhéros, la salle House a vibré à haute fréquence durant la nuit entière, gracieuseté de DJ tels Cesar Romero et Stephan Grondin qui ont mis toute la gomme dès l’ouverture. Incontournable, Peter Rauhofer a suivi avec son flair habituel, allumant la foule avec des rythmes triés sur le volet. Suite à l’éblouissante prestation vocale de la chanteuse israélienne Maya, son compatriote Offer Nissim a ensuite cassé la baraque, haussant encore davantage l’intensité avec ses mix puissants qui ont fait l’unanimité. Sultan a brillamment pris la relève avec un set inspiré, suivi d’une autre performance magistrale du Ali et Sharam de Deep Dish en fin de matinée.

La nuit montréalaise au rythme des événements connexes

Un quinzaine d’événements satellites complétaient les activités de la Semaine Bal en Blanc cette année. Des artistes internationaux tels DJ Dan, Max Graham, Princess Superstar, Axwell, Twisted Dee, Sherry Vine et Joey Arias ont contribué à faire lever la fête lors de soirées spéciales présentées à différents clubs montréalais. À l’aise sur leur propre territoire, les Erik El, Patrick Dream, Bruno Brown, Malick et plusieurs autres DJ d’ici ont aussi fait honneur à la réputation festive de la métropole québécoise.

Merci et à l’an prochain

Les organisateurs désirent remercier tous les commanditaires et partenaires qui ont contribué au succès de la 13e Semaine Bal en Blanc. Un grand merci également à toute l’équipe de Gestion Playground et à toutes les personnes qui ont travaillé à la réussite de cette édition. Rendez-vous pour la 14e édition qui aura lieu du jeudi 20 au lundi 24 mars 2008.
