How do you feel if we were to change the logo to this one? 

Stereo 2025 From A Former Stereohead Living Now In Miami

  Enter Stereo: Montreal’s After-Hours Temple Imagine a place where the music is a living pulse, where every beat hits you in the body, and where midnight means just the beginning. Welcome to Stereo, Montreal’s legendary after-hours nightclub—an immersive temple of house, techno, and community. Where Sound Is the Star What makes Stereo stand out isn't flashy décor or VIP exclusivity—it’s the sound system. Built with precision and engineered for perfection (think “box-in-a-box” walls on shock absorbers that let the floor float), every note lands with clarity and power. DJs feel it, dancers feel it, and then the music just takes over. A Haven of Accepting Energy Inside these walls, nothing matters but the beat. It’s not about how you look, how you dance, or where you come from. This is a place for all of us, united by music. You’ll see people smiling, dancing free, slipping into the groove without judgment. Sets That Take You Somewhere Else Over the years, Stereo has hosted gi...

Patius Crypto Run 2024

Image
 Either you know what is happening at the moment, or you are still one of those that have not touched or played with Crypto, which could be a blessing or a curse. In 2013, when this blog was a bit more popular that today, the first bull crypto run was underway. I remember at the time that I was still fully immerse in my after-hours club life, and beginning to discover Crypto.  I recall that I even posted a QR Code on the front page and I got some Bitcoin donations. I don't like to think too much about that cause I don't remember where I stored my Wallet Seed Phrase, thus is pointless to even check what I might have there. Then 2015 came when the 2nd  Bull run began, but this time I did not pay too much attention to Crypto, too many things were happening in my life, and this is when in 2016 I moved to the US.  You probably realize why I kind of stop writing here, not that I didn't have interesting things to say, specially because I moved to Miami, and you would expect...

(((Stereo 101))) - Montreal - 2024 Edition

It has been almost 8 years since I left Montreal. That is how long I haven't visited the temple of House Music, one of the best Afterhours clubs I had the opportunity to visit, and I miss those hardwood made dancing floors; which in case you don't know, helps to minimize the impact on your knees from your countless hours of dancing.  I clearly remember the first time I experienced Stereo, and it was so much fun that I searched in the internet like-minded people, until I finally found this great public forum called MTLNIGHTS.COM (RIP) - this is where the Patius name and this blog comes from (story for another post).  The forum was visited by people from the Club, DJs, everyone involved in the scene and more. One of the Stereo founders, James Forbes, also used to be an active member on the site, and he posted the story on how Stereo was created, and I feel is time to post again the story, especially since Stereo is still rocking the world of many people, not just in Montreal, b...

XL & Victor Calderore at Stereo, Montreal Oct 8, 2007

The night Victor Calderone almost got booed at Stereo in Montreal. This was an epic evening, and forgive my mini rant at the beginning, I was not happy with some changes Stereo had done back then. Happy to report that is no longer the case.
