the sad thing is they probably would not pull enough anymore to make a dime off this in this town.
montreal has become the ottawa of dance music. |
It's honestly depressing to see this city's techno/tech-house nightlife hitting rock bottom... If you guys haven't read Steve Lalla's interview with Deadbeat from a few weeks back, I suggest you all do so. Scott Monteith aka Deadbeat Interview
Excerpt taken from the article:
"Not to knock Montreal in any way," Monteith continues, "but it became very difficult and frustrating for me at some point to write music and not have a consistent place you could go out and hear it. Some people seem to attribute the difficulty of running a regular techno or forward-thinking house night in Montreal to a general lack of interest, but I think that's straight-up bullshit. The ever-increasing numbers one sees in attendance at the Piknic, Mutek and Fricoti demonstrates that pretty clearly.
"Generally, if a few more club owners cared just a little bit more about the sound, and a few more promoters paid just a little bit more attention to what's going on abroad and in their own backyard, shit would be rocking. I guess the short answer to this question is that community breeds creative inspiration."
