Hey everyone,

I'm one of the organizers behind a local electronic music collective in Montreal, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to point us in the right direction.

One of the biggest challenges we've faced over the years is finding a venue where people can genuinely dance until the morning on a proper sound system. Between noise restrictions, liquor laws, and venue limitations, it's becoming harder and harder to create the kind of experience that made so many of us fall in love with this scene.

We've been fortunate enough to organize events in different venues around Montreal, and we recently had the privilege of curating a night at the legendary Stereo Montreal. But lately, I keep coming back to the idea of doing something completely different: a proper DIY warehouse rave.

We're looking for a warehouse, industrial building, or unique space within about 30 minutes of Montreal that could potentially host this kind of event. Ideally, somewhere where we could build the experience from scratch, bring in a serious sound system, and create something that feels raw and authentic.

I know these places aren't usually advertised publicly, and I completely understand if people don't want to post locations openly. If anyone has any leads, knows someone who owns a suitable space, or has experience organizing events in this type of venue, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a DM.

Would love to hear any ideas or advice.

Thanks ❤️

I think Stereo should bring Ben Sims one day.

I don't know if I've ever heard of him playing in North America, though I know he makes rare appearances. A night at Stereo would be special, I think.

Super excited to come to Stereo for the first time with my wife. Looking forward to experiencing what is supposed to be one of the best sound systems in the world. On a side note I’m arriving Friday evening and staying until Sunday 1pm. Does anyone have recommendations on food or places to visit in Montreal?

I'm not sure if this is off topic so feel free to delete/lock the thread if it is.

There are some upcoming techno shows at the SAT that I'd love to check out, mainly DJ Nobu and some of the Mutek stuff. However, the last time I time went to SAT, I think it was pre-covid, the sound was pretty bad. It made the experience altogether pretty hard to enjoy.

Apparently they've upgraded the sound system since then? Obviously I'm not expecting Stereo level sound quality but if anyone who's been recently can comment on the overall sound that would be awesome!

I've screamed more than usual for sure. What do you guys think?

Does anyone have any intel on when Hernán will be back? Based on the below history, and the assumption that he tends to follow a similar tour schedule year to year, my best guess is 21 Nov. Anyone know??

Past dates:

Sam 25 Nov 2023 - 24h marathon with Patrice Bäumel

2024 - n/a

Sam 22 Nov 2025 - 24h marathon with Patrice Bäumel

?? Sam 21 Nov 2026 ??

Friday night will be my first night at Stereo. Anyone got any advice/ hacks for getting through the whole night? What’s the water/ food situation? Can I pack an extra t-shirt and check it in a bag and change later? Just wondering what the situation is. Thanks for any advice.

What time do you think Sasha will be on tonight? I figure around 4, but I’ve never seen him, so I’m not sure. Very excited though!

10/10, no notes

(Also I apologize on behalf of the Torontonians that invaded the club and did not understand the culture)

Title. Love that Stereo is updating their booking game. Wata is going to turn that dancefloor into dust

Hi all,

I am on a mission to visit the best clubs around the world and I keep hearing nothing but the best things about Stereo. However, I recently came across a reel where there was a complaint in the comments that this venue is not wheelchair-friendly or ADA accessible. Is this true?

For context, I am a wheelchair user but can walk up some set of stairs and dont mind doing so as long as I can have assistance getting my wheelchair up the stairs.

Thanks!

Was a nice surprise. Tony Romera was supposed to play all night long next thing I see is Chris Lake spinning.

Last all nighter he did last september was a masterpiece and I know he doesnt do them often

Did DT already sold out or not on sale yet? I can see tickets available for purchase for gigs in Sept/Oct but can’t find DT gig😭😭

Hi! I’m trying to decide for Friday and Saturday nights - head to Stereo or go to the District Events Locker Room and Inferno. Where will the music & atmosphere be better ? Best gay time ?
