The halls at Palais des congrès will be once again alive with the sound of relentless, pulsating bass & beats come this April 8 for the 18th edition of Montréal’s annual nod to all that is “white.” Just as any 18th birthday should be a mind-blowing/altering affair, Bal en Blanc gallops into maturity with an international melting pot of DJ veterans and newbies along with a state-of-the-art audio/visual experience for the 15,000+ usually in attendance.

The party godfather of Station C has some words of advice for club-promoters, the City of Montréal, and creatures of the night like RGmag’s Boísin Murphy: You have to believe…

Just a few weeks after the opening of Katakombes in the basement of Station C just a few weeks ago, the team of Le Parking fame, Greg Thibault and Pascal Lefebvre, are set to open their new club upstairs, Apollon.

Billing itself as a “dissolute lounge for the mildly curious,” the newest addition to Ottawa’s alternative nightlife scene is a powerhouse collaboration between La Petite Mort’s Guy Bérubé and party hostess Sara Ainslie. In advance of their Sept 24 Grand opening, 2B got an exclusive look at their programming and raison d’être.

After similar events in Boston, Washington, and other cities, it will be Montréal’s turn to experience the mayhem of QGB on Sept. 22nd.
