ello my friends,

This weekend will be an emotionally farewell for us all in what has been a labour of love for me these past 6 years - Stereobar.

Please join myself and the rest of the crew in one last cold beer as we say goodbye to this little gem that has seen some of my favourite DJs like Desyn Masiello, David Morales, Behrouz, Lee Burridge, Victor Calederone, Jimmy Van M etc etc etc drop some amazing beats. (Not to mention everyone from D-Formation, Chus & Ceballos, Dave Seaman, Sander Kleinenberg getting their drink on!)

Friday night will be our last techno, tech, minimal night with Techno.FM and friends. Thanks Alex!!!

Saturday night Danny Torrence will finish things off with good friend Samer K.

The bar has had a run of over 8 years now, which is at least 5 more then most ever make it, and its time for something different.

I hope everyone can come say goodbye as it will be one of the last times to see me before the holidays and the BPM Festival in Mexico.

Warmest regards,

Scotty

apparently stereobar is closing down after this weekend so... last chance to party at the last room that's open from the greatest club that montreal has ever known..

Plurisms - The origins of P.L.U.R.

The kids in the rave scene adopted this as their mantra and even when I first started The Peace, Love, Unity Movement, it's fitting to know my original theory followed the same exact path only minus the glowsticks and the beads.

Right from the very start of New York City's underground rave scene, the mission was to make sure the people involved would be peaceful, have love for what we were doing and show unity if something was to go down. I reached out into the industrial wastelands of Brooklyn, New York and threw warehouse parties. I looked for locations, broke into warehouses and put people and sound together and somehow made history. That was a plan I had from day one.

The same weekend I played my first rave in England to 25,000 people, a teenage black youth named Yusef Hawkins was murdered by a group of whites simply for coming into their neighborhood. That was on August 23, 1989. Long before the terror of 9-11-01, New York was already a city of Ghosts. I'd estimate the number of victims to be over 10,000 people. People that lost their lives because of three things, Crack, Aids & Racism.

Hawkins death was not out of the ordinary. New York City had serious racism in the 80's. There also was an active Italian Mob in Brooklyn and stories of people being taken out were common. My father was murdered driving a taxi in 1985. On his second job in his 16th hour of work that day. The guy who killed my father was black and yet I never blamed anyone else but the guy that did it. Hip Hop music may have actually helped me because it opened my eyes to what goes on in the streets. The guy that killed my father served 7 1/4 years, was released and then killed two more people. Crazy world out there. You never could understand what losing a parent is like and It was not easy. But I became hellbent with my music. I had a five year plan with do or die stamped on the plans.

I got a resident club gig the week I turned 18. That lasted FIVE weeks. That is when NY State raised the drinking age to 21 and I was fired. Things were really not working to my advantage. But I started writing and producing records. With almost 3 years until turning 21, I knew well in advance I was going for the top spot in NYC. I wound up doing resident slots in Long Island and NYC. Palladium, Roxy, Quik (Vinyl). Then I went to London. Things just exploded from there.

The first thing I did when I got back from London was tell all my closest friends about what I experienced. Many of my closest friends were making techno tracks, so everyone was excited. And I had people in London who knew well in advance about the potential. A couple of friends of mine planned on going to the West Coast to do parties and then in very early 1990, I get a call from London. Some really big people wanted to meet my people in New York and when that meeting happened, it was just a matter of time.

So I just kept sharing that experience, of the music and what happened. Once my closest friends experienced the music combined with the effects of Ecstacy, that was it. The message was clearly out, and there was no stopping us. The thing about Ecstacy is it breaks down everything society wants us to be and the minute you understand that, you look at things different.

I think what it does to you is makes you find a common peace which exists in all people. It broke down things on many levels and combined with Electronic Music, it was like nothing else anyone ever experienced. By the end of 1989, there was six of us and we began to map out a plan of action. Rule number one? Be responsible, professional and run business. None of us were drug dealers before. None of us would be after. I opened up Groove Records as a base of operation to sell Techno records and tapes. That happened in April of 1990.

The first actual rave party happened on June 30,1990. Now I had regular rotation in many NYC clubs, so the night we through the rave somehow worked against us. Why? Because we still were in a club. The crowd was no different from any other NYC crowd, but we had visuals which projected our videos from London on a wall and people became curious. It would take exactly two years from that party to reach the point where 3000 people were coming to dance all night until 9 a.m. That was realized on June 20, 1992.

It was not an easy task. A former friend of mine named Lord Michael started doing weekly parties at Peter Gatiens Limelight, and that brought the gangster mentality into the scene. The only problem was they did not understand how we were pulling 3000 people to basically anywhere we had people go. See in Manhattan, nightlife existed only in Manhattan. The outer boroughs never could draw more people to an event then they did, meanwhile anytime I threw a STORMrave, tumbleweeds would be blowing around The Limelight. They hated me for that BTW.

We always made sure our parties were safe. To insure that we would put the parties in really bizarre spaces. Way out to no man's land in Brooklyn. We had several little problems, but from 1990-1992 everything was based on The Peace, Love and Unity Movement and most of the kids loved that because they never experienced anything like it.

We started doing STORMrave in 1991. In 1991 it was a series of all night parties which were raw outlaw events. The Brickyard in Brooklyn for instance. We started out with about 200 people, made people park 1/2 mile away and walk down frieght tracks to get to where we were. (see picture)

Plurisms.

15 years go by and people tend to forget. But I never decided I was going to start this thing called P.L.U.R. and everyone was going to live happily ever after. I mean the legend of STORMrave is not some kind of fairy-tale.

With any tale or legend comes those people who try and change the actual story, or say it never happened in the first place. Take, Laura for instance (from Hypereal). Her name seems to come up whenever P.L.U.R. is mentioned and she goes into length about how she spun records at STORMrave in 1993. STORMrave ended on December 12, 1992. I never met the woman personally.

She explained P.L.U.R. from day one using me as a catalyst. Here is Laura's take on LOVE..."Love is an unconditional appreciation of something or someone. It combines with peace to allow you to think things like "Frankie Bones isn't a bad guy, in spite of his flapping mouth. The peace gives you the chill factor so you can get to the unconditional love."

She then goes on to explain how the great big light bulb came on when her friend Brian from San Francisco explained "Respect".

"And then suddenly it all came clear to me. You can't have peace, love, and unity without respect".

Here goes that flapping mouth she spoke about without even ever once thinking it would come back to bite her in spite of her 'epiphany'.

Thank the American Library Of Congress for the copyright of my 1990 record release called P.L.U.M. (The Peace, Love and Unity MOVEMENT).

And that was the beginning. In 1993, I released a track called
"Peace, Love, Unity" (The STORMrave Story). The first word written after the title credits says "Respect". To the German band Genlog. So whoever thought of sticking the eighteenth letter to make it into P.L.U.R. must of been looking at that record...Here, look for yourself. Now lets talk about 'Raves".

The first actual 'rave' in America was on June 30, 1990. Called "Atmosphere" in New York City. On September 7th, 1990, Los Angeles had its first actual 'rave'.

Prior to those two events anyone claiming they were throwing raves would be lying. There were some half baked attempts which were simply parties at clubs.

Now during all of this, I had been fortunate enough to be able to headline both parties, East & West and I'm willing to admit without the west coast underground of Los Angeles, I would have never witnessed how it could work in America. There were British people starting to throw parties in L.A. at the same time I first played there. I got booked to play L.A. because of my London connections. I was really lucky in that sense. Because I was the only American DJ to play the original Summer Of Love Orbitals in London. Orbitals because the first large scale raves happened off the M25 Motorway outside of London.

That is where the entire P.L.U.M. concept came about.

Movement rather then Respect. Because you cannot have Peace, Love and Unity without Respect, yet without MOVEMENT, you cannot have Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. What good is it without movement? And that my friends is why I have to excuse my so called "Flapping Mouth" and dismiss anyone else making claim to something I already had taken into consideration.

And it started out as violence actually. But there is no such thing as a peaceful revolution. "You better start showing some Peace, Love and Unity, or I will break your $%^ing faces". That is how it started.

On this fateful night sometime in 1991, the first tribe wound up in Ferry Point Park under the Whitestone Bridge in the South Bronx. Where Hip Hop's original roots began. Not only that but we are 'raving' to Techno music? In the South Bronx? That is why P.L.U.M. was so important to what what we were doing. Each of the original 6, had come to realize, if we were going to create (a) movement, it would be very important to make damn sure that every person we invited knew well in advance what our gatherings were about.

And we had a great group of people in those days. People who would help a stranger if something was wrong at an event. So to witness 300 people dancing to Techno in the South Bronx was historical to me, even in 1991. The fight that broke out was a couple, boy and girl having a domestic problem which happened like a tornado, right into the main rig where I was spinning. And my reality clashed with the one thing I was trying to prevent from day one.

So I took it personal. Being at ground level, I jumped up onto the office desk which had the turntables and mixer on it, to give me a four foot height advantage, and yelled into the Mic to stop the fight and to end that shit right there and then.

Now I had just ruined 300 people from what could had been a ritual because it was four hours in, 2 a.m. in the morning and the music stops, and my mouth "begins Flapping". This is actually a DJ's worse nightmare. So the fight gets broken up and I did say we were all there for Peace, Love and Unity. Not to have two people ruin it for everyone.

It was a touchy time. The Bronx had the Happyland fire happen a year prior, where 97 people died because of a fight between a man and a woman. The guy lit a gallon of gas on fire and torched everyone in the club. Horrible. This is why P.L.U.M. was important at the time. I'm not going to drag 300 people to The Bronx and have people behave like that so I took it personal.

I told the crowd, "You all need to respect each other and if you see something happen, get involved to stop it." Had we not had the gear on an obsolete office desk from the 60's the party would had been over. I then said, "anyone who has a problem, say it now, and fight me, right here right now". And then proceeded to say whoever it was fighting, I'll break your $%@ing faces."

So I am not Anti-PLUR whatsoever. I just knew that once the music started back up, that night was going to be legendary because once the negative would dissolve, people were going to appreciate why they were there. It was a beautiful thing in the aftermath. That party went until 10 a.m. without any further incidents.

ya, huge ups @ alienzed and the whole crew for putting this exceptional party together. i thought deco and lighting was off the fucking chain. duck hunt was awesome. i really appreciated the heat, actually, that's a fucking summer party. great sound, very nice staff and security, and a lots of happy faces all over the place. big ups and thanks so much for asking me to play this funk set, was really fun and a wicked idea, hopefully will happen more cause i had a fucking blast!

the set up is not perfect cause it's Level, it's not Opera or some lame shit. but it got the job done. in fact i neglected to thank mrlicious for taking so much time and effort to fix the ground and improve the setup during the party, big ups! :)

[ www.rave.ca ]

small party. big members. lol

big ups @ the oldskoolness, thanks to dirty and FUCK! Chris Liberator KILLED that shit. He made me feel a bit stupid cause when I was playing I was bitching a bit about the set up.. the decks, the grounds, everything was fucked up.. but MAAAN! liberator showed us how it's fucking done, that's the real spirit of delivering the goods, giving the raw energy, even if it's not "perfect" , to make a party really go off like its supposed to. this party reminded me of what it's all about. in fact i wish i could go back in time and play the first half of my set again, cause i was being a baby and NOT FEELIN IT! so big ups @ liberator, DJing while indica is holding one of the turntables in his arms! that's a fucking DJ! also i liked mateo's set.. it was kinda boring, but that's his specialty.. anyways sometimes it's a nice change when you have like 6 hours of 150 bpm acid to have something different in there.. thanks again big honour and pleasure, level is the best for these hard-ass old school parties.

that's fucking cool! good edits and shit, wicked party!
:)

fishead wow you can name one song by steely dan, my respect for you just went up like, 1 billion percent, you want a fucking cookie?

thierry, for the last fucking time, steely dan is not a "he" or a guy or a person, you're a fucking idiot

peril and cutter, you make this goddamn shithole of a life (and this piss-ass website) all worthwhile...

bodkin's like this good fielding shortstop who's all like, good at hitting left-handed pitching. he's got a great eye -don't be scared to put him at the beginning of your lineup, he'll make it worth your while. Galaks' was a third round draft pick back in 96 and he's come through in a big way in rightfield. With a great arm, power and speed, Galaks' has the potential to do 30/30 and hit .300 if he'd bear down and concentrate.

fyi this is the final techno night @ Les Passages diagraf and minimanimal have decided, they go out with a bang!

Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the end of our weekly techno soirées at Les Passages. Due to uneven attendance, noise complaints and increasing differences with the management, we have decided to end it on good terms and on a high note. For over a year now we have strived to provide quality underground electronic music and I think that in hindsight I can say that most Thursdays you could drop by Les Passages and hear some of the best minimal or experimental techno in town. Our uncompromising nature and refusal to play commercial music was our strength but also our weakness. That being said, many of you know that it led to many great moments, when our little living room on Rachel Street suddenly turned into full-fledged acoustic-cinematic research lab or when the dancefloor lit up for those late-night 3am to 4am dance sessions. For those moments I thank you.

I’ve been privileged to play with some fantastic djs and extend a special thanks to my partners and resident djs Alexis Bowles, Fancyfhreek, Jan Pienkowski, and Deebacc. Playing by your side has taught me a great deal and I walk away with invaluable experience.

Thanks to the musicians who have played with us in the last year : Mateo, Baya and Olivier, D-Outcome, Linda Shaker, Jason Christopher, David Fafard, Christian Thibault, Stephen Beaupré, Milos, Euterke, Mightykat, Michel Lloyd, Philgood, Sarcastic, Son of Jacob, Rootsloops, Freeken, Dave O’Brien, Kane Roth, Banditos, DJ ///, E-teb, Gwen-DJ, Sarath Pereira, and Poison Arrow. A special thanks to the Archipel crew, Pheek, Jesse Voltaire, Le Cantin, for their inspiring beats and unyelding support and also to our two resident vjs Pink Rubber Lady and L’Agent-Jacques, who always knew how to set the mood. Finally, a note of thanks as well to the great staff of Les Passages, who have been the most gracious of hosts.

The timing of this is right as all of us move on to new projects. With Alexis’ return to Montreal the crew is back together and inspiration is afoot. Running a weekly event requires much time and energy which we are all eager to channel into other endeavors. Keep an eye on us and watch this space and others for future musical projects which will soon be forthcoming. I hope many of you will show up this Thursday as we hope to go out with a bang! Minimanimal, Diagraf and DJ Sarcarstic light the fuse. Hope to see you there…



Chers amis,

C’est avec beaucoup de chagrin que je vous annonce la fin de nos sessions musicales hebdomadaires aux Passages. À cause d’une baisse d’achalandage et des différences grandissantes avec la gérance de l’établissement, nous avons décidé que le moment était propice pour terminer en beauté et passer à d’autres projets. Pendant plus d’un an, nous avons garanti une musique recherchée, un son underground électronique de qualité. Je crois bien que chaque Jeudis on pouvait se rendre aux Passages et y trouver la meilleure musique minimale ou techno en ville. Mais notre sélection sans commercialisme et sans compromis fut autant notre force que notre faiblesse. Cela dit, certains d’entres vous ont été témoins de ces moments clés ou notre petit salon confo sur Rachel se transforma en terrain d’exploration sonore ou visuel, ou alors de ses soirées au dancefloor enflammé à 3h du matin. À tous ceux et celles qui ont contribués au succès de ces soirées, un grand merci.

Je me sens très privilégié d’avoir eu d’aussi bons partenaires et je dois un énorme remerciement à Alexis Bowles, Fancyfhreek, Jan Pienkowski, et Deebacc, qui m’ont poussés dans de nouvelles directions musicales et sans qui ces soirées n’aurait pas été possibles.

Merci à tous les musiciens et djs qui se sont joint à nous pendant la dernière année : Mateo, Baya et Olivié, D-Outcome, Linda Shaker, Jason Christopher, David Fafard, Christian Thibault, Stephen Beaupré, Milos, Euterke, Mightykat, Michel Lloyd, Philgood, Sarcastic, Son of Jacob, Rootsloops, Freeken, Dave O’Brien, Kane Roth, Banditos, DJ ///, E-teb, Gwen-DJ, Sarath Pereira, ainsi que Poison Arrow. Une mention particulière à l’équipe Archipel : Pheek, Le Cantin, et Jesse Voltaire pour leur musique inspirante et originale, ainsi qu’à nos vjs résidents Pink Rubber Lady et L’Agent Jacques. Ces derniers ont su créer avec finesse un atmosphère chargé et chaleureux. Finalement un grand remerciement au staff incomparable des Passages, qui nous ont accueillis avec charme et amitié.

Le temps et venu pour nous de passer à d’autres projets. Gardez-nous à l’œil car nous préparons avec un regain d’énergie nos prochaines aventures musicales et artistiques. Présentement, nous avons pleinement l’intention de finir en beauté et j’espère que plusieurs d’entres vous serons parmi nous ce jeudi pour notre soirée de clôture. DJs Minimanimal, Diagraf, et Sarcastic allument la mèche. Ça va sauter!
