Party gets started at 9pm at Capital Music Hall (200 Rideau). This is the FIRST time an electronic music event is held there, and we’re extremely excited to use the venue. Big sound, big lights, and a big dance floor.

That portion of the show features: Bad Boy Bill (1:30am-3:00am), Seb Fontaine (11:30am-1:00am), as well as Steve Smooth, Martin Villeneuve, and Brad Copeland.

Bill is obviously a juggernaut in the electronic music industry, and was 2003’s BPM dj of the year. He’s also a 3 time DMC champion, and a legend in the business.

Seb Fontaine might have played one of the best sets all time at Scream (Surface) on Halloween, and is one of Europe’s biggest djs. He’s held residencies with Cream and Ministry of Sound, and was a radio one favorite.

Steve Smooth is touring with Bill, and you won’t forget his name after you hear him play. He’s one of the most underrated dj’s in North America. As for Martin Villeneuve and Brad Copeland, they’re two of the most successful homegrown talents we’ve ever had; both accomplished djs and producers. Last year they played incredible sets at Believe, and we’re very happy to have them playing again this year.

This portion of the event will go till 3am, and is 19+.


The after party for this is at Surface Nightclub,and will go till 8am. Yes, 8am. Surface is only a 2-3 minute walk from the main event. The after party features:

Steve Porter

Brad Copeland
Martin Villeneuve
Mister Parker
Akash Sinha
Balu

Steve Porter is one the hottest young dj/producers in North America right now, and might be one of the biggest draws in our city after destroying the decks at Surface this past year.

We are currently in negotiations to have a trance room for the after party, and we will post details on this as they become available.

To help prevent big lineups outside of Surface, we will search people in multiple lineups outside, and quickly get everyone with bracelets into the club. In addition to this, if we get Pub En Ville next door, we can use that entrance too.


Surface is located at 128 York, in the market (beside On Tap). 19+ with valid ID.
