If you are like me, you are already looking for a costume to wear this year. Yes, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I get all dressed up every year even if I’m not going trick or treating (and no you can never be too old for free chocolate and candy). If you haven’t started yet, the time has come! Get ready for the biggest Halloween party this year.

Presented by LND Productions, Halloween Massacre will be held at Bourbon Street Club St-Adele on Saturday, October 31^st. This is an event not to miss! More than 4000 people are expected. There will be SIX rock bands performing live and house music by DJ Uppercut and Domenico Pandolfo. And if that’s not enough for you, get ready for some heat with live percussion (tam tam) performances by Hovo aka Dahov (www.dahov.com).

Be sure to get your costume ready because there will also be prizes for the 2 best costumes, including a trip to anywhere in the world! More than $2000 in prizes. It all starts at 9:30 p.m. and guess what… barbeque all night long. They thought of everything!

Guess what?! It does get even better! You don’t need to worry about the designated driver… they offer bus service (courtesy of Shootdown Order)! Departure from Cote-Vertu metro station at 8:00 p.m., coming back at 3:30 a.m. from Bourbon. There is a small fee of 10$ and you have to reserve in advance. You have to confirm by email shootdownorder@hotmail.com.

Tickets for the event are $15 pre-sale and $20 at the door. Get your tickets at Admissions.

Reasons to miss this party: NONE!

CLUB ELEMENT

www.elementclub.ca
66 Blvd. Industriel
Saint-Eustache, QC

Straight from their Facebook group:

Venez découvrir un tout nouveau club sur la rive-nord. Un concept venant directement des plus beaux clubs de Las Vegas. Un concept rejoingnant les 4 éléments soit: air, eau, feu et terre.

OUVERT: Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi

Right, so it’s technically not IN Montreal, but it’s in its “environs“. Not much else has been revealed as of yet: no pictures, no videos, no flyers. Their head resident DJ is DJ TaG. From what I’ve been told, ELEMENT is as far in distance & time as downtown is for Laval nightlife fiends. No traffic, simply two highways and you’re there! The official opening is on October 8th, a Thursday night, and because one of my homies is actually part of the ownership, I will no doubt be there for support!

MUZIQUE NIGHTCLUB

(no website as of yet)
3718 St-Laurent Blvd.
Montreal, QC

Straight from their Facebook group (2):

Tucked away in the upper part of Montreal’s nightlife corridor, Muzique Nightclub eagerly awaits its revival of the St. Laurent night scene.

Muzique features 2 rooms where a collaboration of Montreal’s best DJ’s spin a collection of Modern Urban, Electro, House and Rock, where it is finally once again possible to enjoy phenomenal music in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere. Unparalleled service and an eclectic ambiance combine to make your weekly escape a unique experience every time.

Warmer nights will feature a rooftop terrace where guests can truly unwind and have fun, all the while enjoying the one club that aims to provide the essentials: good music, a more mature clientele, and most of all a place where you can truly enjoy yourself.

On October 9th, Muzique invites you to attend our GRAND OPENING. Come participate in the reshaping of the nightclub experience…

Remember, its about you and its about the sound.

21+ Dress to impress

Their description is pretty self-explanatory, and quite frankly, their concept is surprisingly seductive. There is no denying that their sleek logo design (seen on the above flyer) and its matching contemporary nightclub name, Muzique, make for a very powerful first impression. Yet, there is something even more impressive tucked away in their Facebook groups (one for Fridays, one for Saturdays). If you look through their Pictures section hoping to find snapshots of the exterior or interior design, you are instead presented with a clever and effective series of concept flyers (13 to be exact) which work in favor of solidifying their aspiration as an up-and-coming nightclub that is all about the music.

Here are just a few of my favorites, but I encourage you all to head over to their Photo Gallery to look at all of them:

As for DJs, the FB group lists DJ Payce & DJ Zoo in the Main Room, and DJ Kidd & DJ Goldenchild in V.I.P. Room, but here is a recent status update by Payce which also lists Keith Dean…

If I had to make a suggestion, I would strongly recommend that they get in touch with DJ Special K… Either way, as a music aficionado, I am sold on the concept and will definitely be checking Muzique out when the time comes.
