Kill Halloween


SaintWoods invites you to their second edition of Kill Halloween taking place October 30th @ Metropolis.

Before I move on to any descriptions, here are the essential links for the party: Facebook & Tickets


THE VIDEO:



THE PARTY:

At Kill Halloween you will experience much more than just music. Don’t get us wrong, you are going to see some of the best live acts that the world has too offer, but just as important to us is our promise to annihilate all your senses with a freakish full-on sensory overload. The atmosphere at Kill Halloween is just as important to us as the headlining acts. Last year our headliners the Bloody Beetroots absolutely murdered it, but what had people talking just as much were the fire breathers, the visuals, the blood, the gore, the over the top spectacle that no other party in Canada goes to the length to conjure. You will be taken down an epic adventure where reality will be twisted into nightmare as your senses are bombarded by ghoulish performances, twisted lightshows and an all out over-the top adventure that will take all you party monsters down the rabbit hole and into the freak-show that is Kill Halloween. The second annual Kill Halloween will bring you the world’s best DJs and performances amplified by state-of-the-art lighting design, interactive circus and theatrical performances, art installations and audience participation that PROMISES TO PUSH THE LIMITS OF THE LIVE CONCERT EXPERIENCE. For anyone who came last year... You know exactly what we are talking about! 


Ok, pre-written blurb aside, this is ridiculous. Rarely has Montreal seen this kind of event. Not only is the local talent well represented, but Saint Woods has managed to book the mighty Erol Alkan. Besides L-A Riots, all of the DJs are Canada-based, which is fuckin' dope. This will be insane for a number of reasons:

1- Line-Up (obviously)
2- Great mix of genres so the vibe switches up all night (dubstep, dnb, dutch house, electro-house, tech house, tropical madness, techno, etc etc)
3- A big-ass venue to fit all of the crazy MTL ravers
4- The Line-up (Did I already mention that?)


Anyways, I've thrown together a little preview of what you're going to hear tonight. You can download most of the tracks, and you can stream all of them. Give 'em a listen, I absolutely guarantee you'll find something you like in this gargantuan pile of madness.

THE MINDFUCKINGLY RIDICULOUS LINE-UP

Envision this party, take Erol Alkan and substitute the sublime Montreal talent for: A-Trak, Brodinski, Crookers, Fake Blood, Rusko, Boys Noize, etc... 

See you there.

Tuesday isn't too early to start getting hyped for the weekend, amirit?


This Friday we got us a nice little show at Velvet Speakeasy, 2 amazing Montreal DJs Panton & Zubi will be presenting UNITED GROOVE.
More info here
Panton's January Mix here

Since it's never too early to start getting hyped for the weekend, I've got some goodies for you.

Afrojack - Pacha On Acid (Original Mix)
It's that song that weirdly sounds like Steve Angello's Teasing Mr. Charlie, but I'm not one to complain. It's great and in 320kbps.

Soulwax - Krack (Realboy Cover)
Just MAAAD!

Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Lemonade (Deaf Tunes Rework)
These two should always collaborate. They brought us Waves & Death Suite, now they're back with Avalanche & Lemonade.

Lupe Fiasco - I'm Beaming (Prod. The Neptunes)
Off his new album Lasers. This song has even been getting hype in the electro world, Craze played it on the mix he did for Mishka.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (Hard Rock Sofa Remix)
Ahhhhh. Seems like every time I encounter a new remix of this song it just gets better and better. Let me tell you a story. This all started when I went to see Eli Escobar. At one point during his set he dropped a remix of this song. So naturally, when I got back home I tried to find it, but in vain. A few weeks later I finally came across a remix by Ewan Pearson and another by Chew Fu. Sadly, neither of these was the remix I was looking for. At this point I decided to dig a little deeper. The outcome your asking me? Still not the remix I wanted, but an incredible clip and remix by Mike Shinoda which satisfied my desire.

Time to Sprinkle a Little Heaven for Your Ears



Right HUGE song here. A while back Boys Noize and Erol Alkan dropped 2 great songs that you can get here. Shortly after I heard an insane piano remix of Waves done by Gonzalez on a BBC Radio 6 show with Erol Alkan. Needless to say I've been hunting down this song ever since. So today, I bring you...

Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Waves (Chilly Gonzalez Piano Remake) (320kbps)

Well this just made my night, so more songs to come very soon!
