The event's icon is this statue by Alexander Calder that was designed for Expo 67 Montreal that took place on these same grounds nearly 50 years ago! |
Arrived at the Piknic to find DJ Molly (F) on the main stage delivering an all-vinyl set! |
Getting a half-smile out of the DJ, her set was mostly Techno! |
DJ Molly is a resident at the famous Rex Club in Paris. |
The event is open to all ages so particularly early you'll see families with their picnic baskets enjoying the music, the weather and the ambiance! |
The early crowd beginning to build! |
But still some room to dance around 6PM. Most people arrive via Montreal's Metro system which has a stop right here at the park! |
Looking amazing in her tank top, short shorts and Nike midtops! |
Before her set would end, it would be thoroughly packed out there! Techno had the peeps bouncing! |
Piknic Electronik takes place at Parc Jean-Darpeau on this island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River directly across from downtown Montreal. The view is incredible! |
Promptly at 6:30PM local-favorite DJ Mistress Barbara (CDN) took over. |
Her set was a bit more House than what we heard prior. |
Born in Italy but living in Quebec since childhood, she's previously won Best DJ Award for Montreal! |
OK, we're packed now! Grooving to House beats! |
Entry is just C$15, a little over US$11. |
Just an incredible dance vibe that begins every Sunday at 2PM and runs close to 10PM! |
She's opened for Tiesto, Carl Cox, John Digweed and many more and I finally got to see her! |
There is a second stage at Piknic Electronik and it was no less amazing! |
Live set from DJ Peter Anthony (CDN) in progress when I arrived! |
Set at the bottom of a sloping hill, it was just as crowded as the main stage! |
His set was more House, Deep House & Progressive! |
Peeps dancing all over the place! |
And gathered in all corners of this heavily-forested island! |
With a good time being had by all! Big thanks to Piknic Electronik publicist Francois for the professional courtesy! |
