Why have Montreal raves gone to the ters? They charge more and more and get less known djs all the time. I know at the end of it all, it's a profit oriented business. Have you guys seen the line-up? 3 head djs that i've seen at UN. It cost me ... a guest list... NOTHING to see them and now I have to pay 100$ for a ticket?
What ever happened to the guy that was in charge and booked SASHA AND DIGWEED or HERNAN. I used to adore raves because it represented a mega event with BIG STARS. Last year we got a line up of 450-DJs and guy J at the end with a high price. And during that weekend... should I pay 30$ to go to Stereo to listen to Guy J + Cid INC on the best sound system or..... 100$ ( could be way higher if you guys wait ) and hear GOOD djs but soo not worth the price....
Starting to become desperate... |

anyways black & blue this year has no big commercial djs, only good trance and house music in a warehouse vibe with many shows during the night, world class shows.
it's not only a dj line up, it really is a big show this year with a story line, decor and all.
they are going back to the source. |

| That's not the big beef. It's just that when you guys book Sasha Digweed the tickets were less then when you book dennis ferrer... something doesn't give.. |

yes dj agents don't give...
they take... a lot !!!! :p
long story short, actually the dj budget is about the same it was, price for the room fell drastically and that difference is put in the show.
they tried booking huge commercial djs and it doesn't work. too many things that explains that failure. competition is one of them. nobody is giving them a break. everyone is against them now. Well like everything else on this scene. No one works together anymore and it's just getting worse and worse.
i couldn't even book guys i've promoted for past 5 years because of politics...
so yeah they are back to a smaller more creative warehouse rave version of black & blue.
music is gonna be top notch i'm not worried. |

they are really well loved by the trance crowd. always great events with them and they do mix mostly trance with other stuff too.
they are not only djs that mix tracks, they give a show too :)
Richard Durand has great technique and is always impressive. |

| The booking looks like it was done by someone throwing darts at a board with from 10 years ago. That being said, Dennis Ferrer is one hell of a DJ. |
