Montreal Clubbers To Welcome Two New Spots… On The Same Week-End!

For those of you who aren’t in the know, both CLUB ELEMENT and MUZIQUE NIGHTCLUB will be opening their doors during the weekend of October 9th! Let’s take a closer look at what both spots are aiming to deliver:

•••

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.

The Plateau Mont-Royal Mini Review

The Plateau’s eclectic and dense architecture bringing in the European, French community. The latter’s generally drawn to a healthier, similar lifestyle feel makes it a hot spot for tourists and Montrealers like to walk endlessly on hot summer days.

This borough is considered by many to be one of the coolest neighborhoods in North America. With the many restaurants, cafés, bars and eclectic shops, it’s definitely a place to get together for all hours of day.

The Plateau Mont-Royal consists of three main busy streets:

• Mont-Royal Avenue
• St-Laurent Boulevard
• St-Denis Boulevard

Each one brings a different character to the city, and their proximity to each other is what makes the Plateau such a great area to live in.

St-Denis Boulevard

It’s the perfect “summer” street. A must visit whether it’s for a quick bite, shopping at small shops or walking aimlessly for hours. Tourists especially love this area for its predominant French-speaking clientele, as opposed to say, Ste-Catherine’s or Crescent street which attract a more English crowd.

IMO, the people seem friendlier, and it’s a spot most representative of the French community of Montreal. A European vibe to it with the dense spacing, the eclectic architecture and sizes of buildings. (uneven) And the nature f the stores are generally drawn to a more healthier, simpler lifestyle

Mont-Royal Avenue

Although very similar in style to St-Denis, Mont-Royal is where you will find the shops selling recycled clothes and a multitude of used CD and book stores. You’ll notice the lack of judgmental stares and arrogance from the locals, as opposed to tourist who stand out wearing flashy colors and don’t know the art of using your “indoor voice”.

For our fans with voyeuristic tendencies, check out the live feed on the webcam on Mont-Royal Avenue.

St-Laurent Boulevard

It has won the battle when Ste-Catherine relinquished its role of the “clubbing” street of Montreal. St-Laurent also boasts some higher-end restaurants and supper clubs worth checking out.

Things you will see:

• Tons of traffic
• Tons of pedestrians
• Endless line-ups into clubs
• Fancy close
• Mini-skirts
• Maybe a fight or two

Here at Montrealing, we consider the Plateau to be one of Montreal’s best kept gems that tourists should know about. Montrealers, what do you think?
