  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...

 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...

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...

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.

This was the first time I saw Ana Paula, this incredible Brazilian DJ, spinning at the former Parking Nightclub in Montreal, Canada. It was such an amazing evening - and here is my review.

You start with the view of the Temple of Concordia, one of the best preserved temples of Greek antiquity. No far from this temple you find the Fallen Statue of Icarus, the fallen angel. One advise if you visit Agrigento, do yourself a favour and make sure to rent a car, you will need it.

 I wrote this review many years ago, and I just published on a video format. When I went, the cover charge was €14 and now I believe is €25

Picture by https://www.discotech.me/montreal/stereo/ I guess it's my turn to find out what the ChatGPT can do for us eh? Many years ago I wrote this review for this special EVOLVE evening hosted by Victor Calderone (XL was the warm up set) at Stereo in Montreal. The orinal review can be read HERE FOR REVIEW . (XL & Victor Calderone - Evolve @ Stereo - October 8, 2007) Went to the playground and asked ChatGPT to re-write my ancient review, and this is what I got: Stereo: an oasis where music lovers of all kinds congregate. With its glass entrance, modernized bar and the new colours that replaced the underground atmosphere of the main bar downstairs, Stereo has been undergoing a series of changes through the years. On October 8th, 2007, XL and Victor Calderone captivated audiences with their performance in Stereo’s main dance floor. XL was truly remarkable, playing a set of uplifting vocals and tribal beats that provided the perfect introduction to Stereo. His excellent se...
