| Bienvenue au Montreal! Labour Day weekend in Quebec and checking out some of the many local clubs here beginning with Jet Club! |
 |
| Arrived before 11PM and found DJ Lod in the booth spinning House. |
 |
| DJ Keith Dean getting ready for his turn in front of the fantastic airport-style flight monitors in the background! |
 |
| Only negative was it was too early for much action. The music was great though! |
 |
| Located just a few storefronts away from Jet Club on Rue Crescent, Electric Avenue is home to 80's & 90's Dance! |
 |
| DJ Happy Man (left) was in the booth with his lighting tech. |
 |
| Huge overhead lighting display was part of the "electric" theme and and reminded me of a dance floor on cruise ships! |
 |
| But the incredible draw to me here was the electric dance floor which lit up wherever anyone's feet were moving! |
 |
| Sometimes in brilliant colours! No one has one of these in Orlando! |
 |
| Dance floor was completely packed for Dance tunes from mostly the 90's and possibly some early 00's! |
 |
| More electrical effects from these LED wire cages above the bar. Electric Avenue earns the coveted KingBob seal of approval! |
 |
| Another supercool club last night was Velvet Speakeasy. Located underneath a nondescript restaurant, you wouldn't know Velvet was here were it night for the projected sign and a knowledgeable taxi driver! |
 |
| Inside the restaurant, candle-lit stairs lead you into a subterranean cavern. |
 |
Where you follow this tunnel in the direction of pulsating beats! |
 |
| You end up in this large room with a bar and dance floor! |
 |
| With driving beats from DJ Otis! |
 |
| The low ceiling adds to the feeling that you're not in Kansas anymore! |
 |
| Pure House, nothing commercial. |
 |
| More dancers over in VIP! Incredible vibe in here! |
 |
| Last stop of the night, Stereo Afterhours! |
 |
| The club doesn't even open until 2AM and then runs nonstop until mid-morning! DJ Danny Tenaglia (USA) in the booth delivering an interesting House set. |
 |
| Arriving closer to 2:30AM, the dance floor was just picking up! |
 |
| Incredible sound system in here; the room often literally vibrated! |
 |
| But I had to call it quits at 3AM; my day began early in Orlando and my hotel bed was calling. But on this first night in Montreal, a good time was had by all! |

I miss the Citywalk "Techno Night" event.
Oh look, REAL nightclubs.. not the crap clubs orlando trys to pass off.
wow, I really need to put Montreal on my club city list!
Anon at 3:12PM, yup!
Ken, you're right. This WAS the weekend of that annual event.
Anon at 8:33PM, Orlando has some good stuff but the "themeing" is sorely lacking. That will be the subject of a future Blog article.
Thommy, yes you should. GREAT GREAT city and GREAT GREAT clubs!
