So like I said depending on if your an NCM or Officer and your rank, you probably make at least $50,000 a year but most likely more. And depending on if you live at CFB Kingston your cost of living is probably very low as well, but even if you weren't cost of living in Kingston isn't that bad. Its only $30 which is cheaper than most nights at Stereo. Most of us on here who post about Stereo have put out probably hundreds and hundreds of dollars clubbing there just this year alone, and have never really complained for the most part. I know I sure as hell have.

+1 to Enjoy.

Harder tech house and harder prog are good at peaktime sets, but hard techno is over the top and has been for years, also "hard" doesn't nessecarily mean tempo, it can mean the way a track is, huge bassline, upbeat and HUGE kick drum, the kinda stuff you aren't ready for till the middle of the night out.

And even then, these "hard trancy sets" are just an old, cheesy, unrefined sounds to a seemingly large portion of the people who have been with the scene long enough for their tastes to evolve along with the music...

Techno is still my favorite genre but its just not popular here in Montreal anymore. A while back it ruled Aria but everything changed and so has everyones taste. If you want proof of how amazing it was go watch the videos on EDMM if Malek fixes all of the broken links

That's what I am talking about. When Aria had Preach playing hard techno the place was packed every weekend. As soon as Aria stopped having there hard nights the scene went to shit. I've never heard anyone say the music is too uplifting. And hard techno and trance is not unsophisicted as someone previously mentioned. I am just sick of going out and sitting down half the night cause the music is not uplifting. That was the whole point of the scene in the first place. Lately the music all sounds the same - a set will be like one long track. New people will not be interested in this which is probably the reason the scene is so small now.
Come on DJ's get with it and start playing more uplifting music. You will see more people smiling and dancing and having a good time.

The only good DJ left is Preach..

If u want techno

Move to europe

Otherwise

Shut up we don't give a fuck !

No. Its the other way around. In 2004-05-06, schranz, hard techno, and even techno started disappearing all over the world. Only some big names continued to do their act (Carl Cox, DJ Rush, Preach [which got a little trancier]), but overall, all the big name techno DJs started getting the minimal buzz (Misstress Barbara, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer, etc) or got into a more house-oriented music. Aria saw that and stopped booking techno DJs. And that was a good thing. Hard EDM is good, during approximately 5 minutes.

If you want techno nowadays, you can find it in specialized festivals, such as Monegros Desert Festival in Spain, which is 24 hours non-stop techno over 140 BPM. Good luck without teh yeyo

Where are you people from? How long have you been in the scene for?
No wonder the scene is shit here. I can't wait to move the hell out of this weird city. Good luck with your boring dance scene.
