A little musical tale of the last 5 months. These are tracks that I either played while DJ’ing or discovered in a friends car while racing through Manhattan to hit up an afterhours warehouse party in Brooklyn. Essentially this a reflection of those amazing nights where you end up drinking, laughing & dancing with friends until its time to pass out (yes even those nights where you wait for the bodegga to sell you beer at 7:45am). I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did making it. Tracklisting can be found after the jump & you can download it here.

Peace!

ps. We apologize the mixcloud setup, we wanted to share this mix on soundcloud but had some issues clearing a track. We couldn’t re-do the mix as we felt one of the songs needed to be on there. Stream/download/share it while you can before it gets taken down.

C’est avec une certaine fébrilité, probablement la même que plusieurs des autres blogueurs, ainsi que la foulé de medias invités, que je me dirigeais mardi soir aux pré-lancement “médiatique” de la feu Rôtisserie Laurier rebaptisée en grande pompe “Laurier Gordon Ramsay“.

Ayant passé une bonne partie de mon adolescence à Outremont je connaissais bien “l’ancienne rôtisserie” et certaines des réceptionnistes  qui y travaillaient depuis longtemps comme Soulage et Louise où encore le légendaire gâteau Moka. Côté design, quelques changements ici et là, un bon coup de peinture, des tables communales, et un très noble bar en bois. Un concept frais et agréable, on sent que Read More…

For culture junkies, history buffs, cigar smokers and rum aficionados, Havana is a one-of-a-kind destination that seems almost frozen in time. But, for one weekend this summer, Montreal residents can again experience the unmistakable vibe and contagious spirit of Havana without having to leave their own city.

Those heading to regular hangouts in the Plateau August 11 to 13 should expect to hear the sounds of Havana Cultura — authentic Cuban jazz, salsa and rumba, Afro-Cuban soul and reggaeton — flowing into the street from many of the top establishments that have made the Plateau one of the trendiest neighbouhoods in town. While there, revellers can check out contemporary Cuban art, incredible photography, Afro-Cuban dancing as well as enjoy tasty Havana Club cocktails and Cuban-inspired food at some of the best bars and restaurants in the area. And if they’d like to smoke a hand-rolled cigar, they can do that, too.

Over three days, the Plateau will be transformed into a little Havana, brought to life by visiting artists and musicians as well as Cuban expats living in Montreal. Participating venues in the Mont-Royal and Papineau area will host unique, Cuban-themed activities. The festival is once again headlined by Gilles Peterson!!! (yes the very same of BBC Radio 1’s show: Worldwide), who returns to Montreal on Aug. 11 at La Tulipe. Peterson will be joined by 11-piece band, The Cuban Martinez Show, as well as local musicians, drummers and dancers to kick off the festival in style. Keep posted to our Facebook Fanpage as we will be giving away 2 tickets to expereince this amazing night.
