the system is fine...it just isn't set up properly...you don't have to be a sound engineer to notice the difference from before.
instead of carrying this thread out as a rant list your best aria moments..
top 3
3.chris liebing
2.sven vath
1.speedy j( best of anyplace i've ever been..)
3.Howells (because of maus)
2. DJ Dan (because of louis)
1.Junkie XL (because of him)
In my opinion, aria has the best lighting system and sound, I don't know what you're talking about tag....but for me stereo has made my ears bleed every time I leave (especially at sander)
But if it's one thing I'll miss about that place is the lights, from top to bottom

my best
Sasha 2003
Carl Cox 2003
Armin 2002
Deep Dish 8h
Picotto 2002
yeah, Carl Cox 2003 was a SICK night! As was Chris Liebing a few years ago (possibly 03 as well?)
I think the demise of Techno in the city led up to Arias closing. I've been out of the "scene" for a few years, but have noticed a pretty sharp decline in the techno lineup over the years

My most memorable:
Carl Cox 2003
Armin 2004
Richy Hawtin and Lee Burridge 2004/5?
1. Ferry April 15th 2005 - the night I fell in love! That date is etched in my mind forever. I had so much fkin fun that night, every other time I went to Aria was just trying to recreate the feeling I had that night. Heard so many classic tunes for the first time that night, it just blew my mind.
2. DJ Dan/BBB/Louis November 2005 - Lovvvved this night. The place was more packed at 11:30am from Louis' set than it was at peak hours when DJ Dan came last month.
3. Junkie XL/Mauro Picotto - So many TAs were there! And it was fkin cool how they played on opposite sides of the room. I remember Mauro starting his set off with such banging techno. Great night.
I'll miss that place sooo much. The feeling of coming down those stairs for the first time each night...the lighting, the great happy times I had there! Me and my friends worshipped that place.

My fav
Deep Dish (new years)
Tiesto(formula one)
Preach(anytime he was there)
This is sad I hate the new trend going through montreal. I guess all good things must come to an end. I was there at the end of sona and never thought I would go anywhere else but Aria became my new home. Now I guess I will have to find a new home again. I just hope they give me a chance to say farewell with a great party.
