De-Light 2012
10 ans plus tôt, on jouait pour la 11e
édition du Black & Blue au stade Olympique en compagnie de Satoshi Tomiie et Saeed & Palash. Nous sommes une fois de plus
très heureux de rejouer pour un événement du BBCM. C'est toujours un honneur d'en faire partie.
Pour le 6 octobre prochain, on a
préparé un set d’enfer. N’amener pas vos briquets, vous en aurez pas besoin ! Voici
le setlist du show.

Retour sur le lancement de disque
Justement, suite à ces 3 mois intenses à tout préparer, coordonner les collaborations avec les remixeurs de partout à travers le monde, préparer et lancer la campagne de financement "crowdfunding" et finalement gérer la production des disques compacts, vinyles et t-shirts, cette journée signifiait beaucoup pour nous. Et nous n'allions pas le regretter!
Nous avons ainsi passé l'après-midi ensoleillé enfermés dans la salle au style gothico-baroque de l'abreuvoir (bar et terrasse) à la lumière tamisée afin de monter la scène, faire les tests de son, empaqueter des disques vinyles et trier les t-shirts par grandeur! Quel travail de fou mais ça a valu la peine.
Cette soirée a dailleurs été une réussite totale! Beaucoup d'articles ont été vendus (souvent payés via PayPal Here, cette nouvelle modalité de paiement à l'essai au canada qui nous été exclusivement fournis par PayPal même!) Et enfin, le spectacle a été intense et bien apprécié!
Merci a tous ceux qui sont venus a cette soirée très spéciale a l'Abreuvoir et un méga Merci à notre soundman: Toutou, notre DJ: Steve Blais aka Steve Aries aka Jester et à notre ami et photographe Charles-Henri Debeur qui as capté la soirée en images.

1624 Steps higher
Friday, May 19th
Second gig for us in two days, this time in a loft party in
the heart of old Montréal, right by the water and Place Jacques Cartier.
The Load IN:
1:00 PM: A warm summer sun is up the sky and there are people everywhere, tourists, bikes, skateboards horses and tons of traffic. Cars are double-parked, the street is crowded. We have to hurry up and empty the cars before we get parking tickets or the cops tell us to move.
Once we get to the door on the street, we are told that the elevator is broken... and its 58 steps to get to the fourth floor (note: the ceilings of each floor are around 15ft so its more like 8 floors!) We have a complete drum kit, guitars, pedal board, Marshall amp, console, 5 heavy road cases, 3 mic stands, A industrial strength computer in a bullet proof case (it must weigh at least 50 lbs!), samplers, monitors, drum rugs and banner, and a box with the t-shirts and vinyl records (another 50 lbs!).

2:00 PM: Twelve
trips later, we are soaking wet, and totally out of breath, so we decide to chill and have a couple of well deserved drinks. Load in = DONE!
The Load OUT:
12:30 AM: After a killer load in, a good show and a couple more drinks, we decide we're ready to get the gear back to our cars.
1:30 AM: The same 12 loads later (in the opposite direction), the cars are packed up, and we are ready to go back home and rest. As I turned on the engine of the car, Stairway to Heaven is playing on the radio. No Thank you! We had enough with any kind of "Stairway" after this gig.

The test press story
Last night we received the test press for Dance it, Dance all. One hell of a night!
8 pm - Received a call from our manager Udo saying the test presses are ready and we have to go pick them up.
9:00 - On our way to DJ Loco Fern's place, who brought the records home from work with him.
9:30 - We have the test presses in our hands!
9:33 - We're on our way to Simon's place to listen and make sure everything's ok.
9:45 - Arrived at Simon's, plugged in the turntable.... and f*cck! the head-shell is broken!
9:55 - Run like madmen to a convenience store that closes in 5 min to get some Krazy glue and fit it.
9:59 - We have glue!
10:05 - Try to repair the head-shell and it just doesn't work.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The guy at the vinyl factory needs our approval tonight if we are to have them ready for the launch party next Thursday.
10:10 - Call back Udo in panic. F*cck, we need to find a place to listen to the record asap!
10:15 - Udo calls back : " Ok guys! I just reached Alain Vinet and he's expecting you"
10:20 - On our way to listen to the test press at a Cirque Du Soleil friends place with a working turntable.
10:30 - Pit stop to grab a 6 pack of "refreshments' to re-hydrate - aka beer.
10:45 - Finally listening to the test press. First impression : Sounds awesome!
11:45 - Confirmed pressing to the vinyl factory. Approved ! :oD

TEE: Press Clippings
Dance it, Dance all Remix : BRAZIL Baby!
This just in. EXCELLENT remix coming from Porto Alegre, Brazil. The perfect groove for the long awaited summer.
True house music consists of four main ingredients: a cup of spirituality, a tablespoon of love, a dash of togetherness and a pinch of soul penetrative beats.
Obrigado! to Alessandro Pantera & Petrus Steil
