Aria has been my home for the last 3 1/2 years so this is a little disheartening for me as well. Aria has been the only place I've really gone to dance in MTL so I don't really have any basis for comparison to other clubs, but I do know that some of the best nights of my life were spent in that dark and dirty underground hole and I won't forget any of it (except for the parts I don't remember  ). That said, my best three nights were:
1: Tiesto/Armin/Guy Ornadel - F1 weekend 2003 (My first afterhour experience)
2: Ferry - April 2005 (Best clubbing night of my life, hands down)
3: Marcus Schulz - (Nick Pilon's set eclipsed Marcus's, also met Caela, Aureus, Tag and jesteraver for the first time)
Like they say, all good things must come to an end. But like a grey hair, pluck one and two more grow in it's place. I'm not worried about Montreal's EDM scene in the slightest. On the contrary, in these past few years there has been such an enormous wealth of talent passing through there that the locals are becoming spoiled and will start to complain about anything they possibly can. People here are too often complaining about what they don't have that they are too busy to realize what they do have. I guess you really don't know what you've got til it's gone.

i miss our MOFO crew, Malek! OH those were the days! ... when prog was REAL deep prog ... & techno was KICK ASS techno - when ARIA was at its prime and Preach just in his training wheels - but spectacular - as still to this day. some of these memories cannot be forgotten. my life in Montreal changed ME and ARIA was the center of my universe.
