The main purpose of wooden brick floor was to absorb oil leaks from the industrial process going on.

3810 St-Patrick was the Crane Valve Co.

They used to manufacture pipes, valves and anything related to plumbing.

Here are pictures from an old painting that used to be in the building's lobby, until around 2002.

They removed it when they started using this place for raves. It clearly shows the bricks:

Therefore, these bricks act as sponge for really bad chemicals that used to be processed there.


One of their secondary function was to absorb vibration and reduce noise related to manufacturing processes.



The main issue with such wooden floor is not really creosote, but rather PBC !!!

The level of PBC contamination at 3810 St-Patrick is beyond anything legal and safe. Oil was the main carrier of PBC.

PBC is highly toxic in VERY LOW concentrations. It bio-accumulates ( it builds up in concentration in your fat tissues and hardly desapears after)


Here are some pictures we took from the now demolished Jenkins Valves Factory, in Lachine. A similar factory with similar production. Damn I had fun in that place as kid, not realizing the kind of chemicals I was messing with !!!

The vacant lot is now one of the most PBC contaminated lot in Canada and cancer rates around the former factory are about 20 times higher than Montreal's.

We introduce to you, December 25th, a new Psychedelic Friendly Venue.

With 450 attending capacity, several smaller rooms, chill rooms, toilets, fridge, enough space for 400 people to dance at the same time !!!

Never used before for any raves !!!

This is the new HQ for future parties organised by NHCL TEAM !


Bringing Montreal the wildest, most lawless psychedelic events.



Get ready for a night of pure madness.

- PLUR -

OVER.

I've had a funny trip on DXM when I was about 16.

I don't know about israeli syrup, but the ones here WILL make you sick.

You will get high, but your first 45 minutes will be punctuated with heavy nausea, bad stomachache, and possibly vomiting.

Well said Psilo !!

I never did K. I never heard anything good about it.
You're convincing me even more to not do it.

What about just drinking a few beers and a good joint ? And if you get tired at 5 AM instead of 9 AM, so what?
Perhaps your body wants you to get some sleep !! ;)


Be aware that these heavy experiences leave permanent chemical changes to your brain.

I'm not saying you've become a retard. Your brain will recover.
But your psychological aspect will not totally.

You will be more prone to stress, paranoia, etc.

Dont't mess with your brain, you're still young !!

Good luck and be careful !!!

I would love to see anyone play 1/16 notes finger-style bass at 145 BPM for 90 minutes.

I've played bass and classical guitar for a long time and don't know anyone who could do that.

To play a lot of today's leads in psytrance on a synth, you would need at least 10+ years of intense piano playing to be able to do anything great.



It would be cool to have a Dj mixing psytrance, and have other non-conventional instruments doing leads. like an accordion, or an harpischord.


That would be sick.

Une bande d'imbéciles qui a décidé d'organiser un rave à ciel ouvert à côté de l'usine Five Roses.

Voici ce que ça a donné:

[ www.youtube.com ]

Well what's your definition of a rave venue? To me, it's a place with continuous 'raving' going on.

They have psytrance and house music playing all day long, don't sell alcohol and have your typical rave crowd.

And it's still opened !! I was there August 2010.

Yoshin, t'as raison, c'est vraiment rendu miteux comme endroit... Assez déprimant. Je ne mets plus jamais les pieds là.

Seriously huh ! Some people have issues here.
It might be the new drugs used in the rave scene ( K, Mdma, etc) that makes them aggressive and close-minded I guess ?

Go to Continuum on November 14th, it will be a huge party. the venue will be announced on this website 24h in advance.


The only rave venue I'm aware of in Montreal is a place called 'Le Chill'.

It's opened 24/7 from friday to sunday night most week-ends and the doorman sells drugs and whatever you need. They play house and trance music.

The clientele is mostly in their 30s-40s.

But it's a pretty crappy spot and not very crowded. It's close to Metro Parc.


3810 St-Patrick is not really an official venue but is where 70% of most of the major events take place here. It's basically an old empty warehouse.

As for afterhour clubs, there are a bunch, just go on google and search for 'afterhour clubs montreal'.

People will not be helpful here with such questions.


For some people, it's cool to party allnight in an abandoned warehouse but it's stupid to party allnight in a club.
Go figure their logic !!!

take care and hope you have fun!

Eyh, I've never used a 2000, compared to a 1000, what does it do extra ? what are the advantages ?
thanks !

That place is dangerous as hell, the concrete all around absorbs any noise from the train, and passenger trains are also faster and less noisy.

Combine that with music and alcohol, and you have 3 young dead people.

I never graffed there as I deemed the spot too visible from highway patrols and dangerous due to high traffic.

My first place in Hochelaga was an old loft in a factory. Basically a crackhouse. I remember coming home one morning, to find a naked girl in my appartment, who had been shooting heroin for the whole night.

I never understood how she got inside...

My 2nd place, Got into a fight with my neighbor after a few days because I told him to stop beating his girlfriend, He came to knock at my door with a machete in his left hand. Told him to fuck off and never heard of him again.

My 3rd and last place in Hochelaga ? Well after about 3-4 months, a (criminal) fire caught in the back building and the whole place was razed. Lost all my stuff !

This neighborhood sucks. Avoid it like plague. It's not really dangerous, it just sucks !

Now I live in Nova Scotia and the most crime you'll run into is someone asking you for weed...

According to their website, they had already sold over 500 tickets.

Korhal, you could just ask jesse, I guess he wouldn't mind telling you ! ehe

Sounds good, not really my cup of tea but some good ideas here. I like the break at 3:40, reminds chillout music.

I think you should add some breaks before 3:40, as house music can get monotonous.
The bass riff is catchy, good stuff.
The kick is ok but I would have chosen a more 'sub' kick with more bass in it.

Again, I'm mostly pointing on things I think could be improved, so the rest is very well-done !

if i had to grade it, i'd give 7,5/10.

peace

Comme ils disent en Nouvelle-Écosse:

Good Stuff !

Nice le Flord du Saguenay ! Ma région préférée au Québec !!

Content de voir que le 'hate' peut être défait ahahahaha


Bonne chance ;)

Comment puis-je te détester, je sais même pas t'es qui. Je ne t'ai jamais parlé ni en personne, ni ici.

Mes contacts avec toi se résument à à peu près rien. Je pense que je t'ai quoté une fois sur le forum.
à moins que tu captes des ondes de haine à travers ton écran, mais ça c'est la drogue qui fait ça..

j'aimerais que tu m'expliques d'où tu sors ça.

--------

Je trouve le concept de se crisser des fausses moustaches ennuyeux, autant ici que sur facebook ou n'importe où ailleurs.

C'est la grosse mode en ce moment mais est-ce que ça le sera encore dans 3 ans ? Ou le monde qui font ça en ce moment ( moyenne d'âge: 15,4 ans) auront vieilli et réalisé que ça ne fait pas vraiment rire personne ?



Arrête donc de dramatiser et de le prendre personnel.
La vie est trop courte pour ça. Je vous souhaite un bon party etc.

C'est sur que la scène est pleine de haine. C'est comme si tout le monde était assis sur un baril de poudre prêt à exploser.
Une petite étincelle et puis boom.

Et sans te viser particulièrement, votre équipe d'Organisation est probablement la plus hater à Montréal ...


PS. Ton commentaire 'Boring' est trop pissant !! Ça a fait ma journée !!

Bon je retourne faire du bateau, la côte du Cap Breton est tellement belle en automne !!

Peace

Presque drôle

C'est quand la prochaine nuit blanche à Montréal ?

Je voudrais trop participer si on organise ça !!! Super projet Noah !!

Are these Renegade People affiliated with you ?? Do you know them ??

Tout bon forum qui se respecte a besoin d'un UDM (Useless Drama Machine).

Anyway, go Tech Safari, la scène a besoin de partys sérieux à gros déploiements comme vous le proposez.

La scène a besoin de promoteurs sérieux, pas seulement de bipolaires scyzho qui sont bon juste à créer de la marde en changeant d'opinion toutes les 2 heures.

Ya du monde dans la scène qui N'aime malheureusement pas ça les moustaches à 5$.

tu fais bien, entre toi et lui c'est assez évident de déterminer qui a du potentiel de qui est un schyzo ...

Comment quelqu'un avec un anévrisme peut-il aller sur [ rave.ca ] cliquer sur la page de son évènement et taper une phrase complète???

Sais-tu au moins c'est quoi un anévrisme avant de prétendre en avoir un ??

tu mets un 3 et demi quelque part au milieu de chaussettes, et tu t'arranges pour que le tout soit très bordélique. Par dessus, tu mets ta pâte à dent, sachet de q-tips ( n'importe qui peut ressembler à un paquet de weed) et les chances de se faire pogner sont presque nulles.


Je dois souvent prendre des vols locaux pour mon emploi et j'apporte toujours mon 'nécessaire'... Jamais eu de problèmes.
Des fois j'en transporte même dans mes poches. La présence de chiens est très rare.

J'ai rapporté des feux d'artifice de gros calibre sur un vol international et je ne me suis pas fait pogner. Mais ça disons que je le déconseille :P

ahahahah

Par curiosite, c'est quoi la difference entre le Metropolis ET le Savoy du Metropolis ?

Underground parties happen almost every week in Montreal... This article is BS.

A burger King Rave, that would be a good idea...

burger king or Reine Elizabeth ?

Damn back in high school there used to be this 15 years old girl who would have sex with 4 or 5 of us at the same time... it was fun I guess !!!

Windows 7 works very well and is virtually bug-free. Much better than Vista on every point.

I'm not very familiar with ASIO and this is why I asked. If asking for explanations about something in a friendly (supposedly) discussion, is not reading well, then you should get a life. really.

anyhow, thanks for the explanation. My sound card doesn't have native ASIO drivers and this is why I only use ASIO4ALL. it still works very well.

because it has an history of beeing the heaviest, slowest to load, obese-ware used to browse the internet.

Why ??

I've used it many times and it works great.

Why shouldn't I use it? especially if it works ?

You guys are a pefect example of this new world; your mother was made in China, your Ketamine is and your kid will dream about living in Hong Kong.

In 25 years Canada will be as cool as Lithuania is now.

Understand what the world is becoming and overule it.

According to new updates, there was a rave in an abandoned bunker close to an house, and the young girl got raped in a field nearby.

Agreed, the place is good for VERY big parties and also very safe... but it's still expensive

i also tried to find pics without success. I looked at every possible place, including mirc, and nothing.
I was more curious to see what the people and the party looked like. I don't care about child pornography...

So I don't know to what extent it is true that these images 'spread all over'.

fuckin dégueulasse

Je pense que les promoteurs ne comprennent pas ce que ça implique d'organiser un évènement.

Je ne comptais y aller, mais voici l'histoire de mes 2 bons amis qui y allaient:

-un a acheté son billet à l'avance
- ils ont checké vers 8hPM, 3810 st-patrick, le party a toujours lieu
- ils ferment l'ordinateur, prennent une bière
- ils ont pris le taxi vers 12h45 à partir de rosemont ( 30 $)
- ils sont arrivés à Crane, porte barrée, personne, aucun avertissement, rien
- BAMM, ils sont au milieu de nulpart, seuls à 1h du matin
- ils ont du reprendre un taxi, ( 30 $) pour rien du tout

60$ de perdu. Pour rien.
Donc... pour répondre au message privé, voilà pourquoi on chiale. Mes amis ne sont pas membres du forum. Je chiale pour eux parce qu'ils sont VRAIMENT en tabarnak.

Merci de ton aide, mais c'est pas mal réglé à 99.99%. Un beau loft industriel pas cher!!!

C'est pas vrai que je donne 1500$ à un petit tabarnak pour louer un loft de 2000 [ pi.ca ] pour 12h !!!

On a trouvé mieux et plus grand pour moins que la moitié du prix.

3810 st-patrick = rip-off
