It doesn't hurt that you can party like a rockstar at piknik and still be in top shape for monday morning blues.

people are also willing to pay tons at the BS (bottle service) mecca. I've been with guys who've dropped 6K easily down there as well.
Right now I only see two hotels regularly booking edm acts (The Cosmopolitan and Palms), and about three pools (Hard Rock, Cosmo and Venetian). But I heard they got LA's big massive, the politicians shut it down in LA.
Compared to rest of Canada the Quebec gov't is more liberal as well, though some would argue that it is getting more and more difficult to hold events because of politics.
Indeed, EDM is going through a more accessible mainstream shift. Lets hope it doesn't go the way of the Comiskey Field disco record fiasco :p

Add to this semi-private small to medium size loft/warehouse parties. Those still do very well in this city. There is one party every weekend, at least. Some all-nighter events attract 500-600 people, 4-5 times a year, local DJs only.... People love these parties because it's different and intimate.
Cherry (before it closed) and Daomé too have a bit of that vibe.

Hey motherfucker I'm not that old, and Thelma Houston as a guilty pleasure is only on alternate Tuesdays.:p

no Donna Summer? :p
Anyone who reads the history of disco (or maybe even house for that matter) will stumble across that Comiskey Park event (too bad no youtube for that.. or is there?). But the similarities are probably there for edm.. genre gets far too mainstream and watered down and then it spawns another movement. But it gets tricky now, in part due to the techological aspects you mentioned earlier.
so in sum, it looks like we are undergoing a technological, political, economic, cultural, and even chemical edm shift :p

Yeah, the White Sox were pretty notorious for their aggressive and off the wall marketing tactics until this one blew up in their face. You can see references to it in a few critically acclaimed rock n roll documentaries as well.

I've only been to one warehouse party so far, and yeah it was rockin. About 200 people were there, was at a warehouse in Verdun.. I don't hear about them often, so.. put me in contact with the promoters of these parties please :D
Speaking of which,we have a bunch of different DJs with different styles and sounds on here, why don't we rent a loft and get all our friends together and throw a TA party?
