MONTREAL MONTHLY ANYONE?

Post by BogHandz » Fri Sep 28, 2012 2:09 am

Hi, I'm living in Montreal and have been noticing that, with a few notable exceptions, the majority of deep/oldschool dubstep artists are favouring the westcoast when they tour North America. This is particularly frustrating since I recently moved from Vancouver. I think there is definitely a market for the deeper, darker, dubbier sound here, and I have a dream of a monthly event dedicated to it. ANYONE WANT TO SHARE MY VISION AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN??
Bass Drive has been kind of lost to trap-style and brostep, and anything else that isn't house or techno seems to also be trap-dominated now (and consequently filled with YOLO/Swag drunken airheads).
I know there are local DJs who spin the true style, and I'm sure they would be supportive. Finding a club with an adequate sound system might be an issue. If anyone is a promoter/DJ/producer or has any connections with clubs, will you join me? Let's make this a reality, we owe it to ourselves and this city.

Love all around :w:

Ryan Orphan & Asylum (https://www.facebook.com/AsylumMTL) are trying to start to get things going. If this city could get the Chestplate tour to come by it would do wonders for the scene.

Sadly though there doesn't really seem to be any clubs willing and/or capable of supporting this music. The night that brought dubstep to this city played it's last show this spring cause there'd be like 10 people showing up on a given night. Still, I would love to see this happen more than anything else in the world.
