Montreal rocks guys. It's even rocking a little too much.
Right now we are testing the very limits of what a small city like this one can handle.
2 after-hours clubs in the top 100 DJ mag, PIknic, Igloofest, Montreal en lumières, fantastic bookings, bal en blanc, black & blue.....
Never seen winter so alive in Montreal. Its usually dead. We had so much this year.
I was in New York last week-end for Ben Klock, and the vibe doesn't even compare to here.
I lived in London, Los Angeles, Sydney.... and althought they are great cities, Montreal is truely unique.
Promoters and artists from Toronto and NY writting to me saying that they want to move here, that we kick ass.
Most guests I bring are having a hard time just findind a second gig in North America.
People that haven't travelled much may think that other cities are SO much better. That everything is SO great and life would be SO much better.
The fact is most of them aren't.
Like a lot of Montreal djs/producers that can't wait to travel the world because Montreal doesn't "get it".
Believe me, if Montreal doesn't get it and you can't get a crowd moving here, most of the world won't neither.
Places like Germany are an exception, a really tiny %. Then again, Germany has it's own problems, like employment.
I think what people could do if they really enjoy a night, is to help it and pass the word around, try to bring people with you. Spread the joy.
But as promoters we do have to find better ways then Facebook to reach our audience. Honestly, It's very hard to figure that one out.
I am way too old and tired to go out and party every week-end trying to recrute new audiences. That's why we do need help from the younger people. |

I've lived abroad and Montreal has nothing to be ashamed of.
