And… we’re back!

Sud-West 2012

There’s a rumble soon to return from the South-West part of the island. Sure that noise is partially the crumbling infrastructure of the Turcot Exchange, but it’s also going to be coming from the very corruption free and non-taxable sound system called Sud-West.

Man called Poirier and the another man called Ghostbeard are returning canal side for the third year. After a brief international stint (and when we say international… we mean east of Atwater) at Igloofest this past winter it’s time for another summer of Sud-West Tuesday’s to ramp up at the St. Ambroise terrace.

Beer, BBQ, Beats… and a joyful noise.

What the hell else are you doing on a Tuesday! Seriously.

Also watch for announcements of some additional Sud-West’s events around the city this summer.

Where : St. Ambroise Terrace (5080 St. Ambroise / next to canal)

When : Last Tuesday of every month from May – August

Time : 8:00 PM – Midnight

Cost : FREE!

Remember back on May 31st at the first Sud-West when we were all like “Man, I hope this summer never ends”. Well unfortunately we all know what’s just around the corner here in Montreal. So before you pull the jackets out again and count the days until Igloofest when you can party outdoors again… you’ve got one last chance to Sud-West. So let’s make it good. Poirier’s back in town and Ghostbeard in the mix as always.

Where : Terrasse St. Ambroise (5080 St. Ambroise – next to the canal)
When : Tuesday Aug 30th
Time : 8:00 PM – midnight
Cost : so free it’s free

Beer in good supply and BBQ open.

Time Boom!

That time again! Damn the summer passes fast. Only one more chance to Sud-West after this July edition. Don’t miss. Weather looks good so far. I’ll take my chances on a 40% chance of rain considering our last edition went down under a threat of 95% death by lightning that never materialized. St. Ambroise Terrace is magic! See you there.

We’re staring at the skies and watching weather reports… and currently we’re saying screw you to the weather and going ahead with tonight. This might change, but as of right now we’ll see you at St. Ambroise terrace tonight!

Good god… it’s been awhile. Just dusting off my diaper changing skills and Mega-Blocks steeze and getting back on the decks. New mixes forthcoming… but most importantly… it’s the return of Sud West :

Time for your favorite Franco-Anglo duo, Poirier & Ghostbeard, to drop onto the St Ambroise terrace for another summer of Tuesdays.

It’s the sort of St. Henri revitalization plan that doesn’t need years of debate and tons of government spending. In fact Sud-West is so for the people it’s positively free. Beats for the people! And don’t forgot the other two important B’s… BBQ & Beer.

Poirier should need no introduction… Ninja Tune’s globe-trotting ambassador of all things bass.

I  prefer to live behind the scenes running Ninja Tune… but every so often, like the Yeti, rare glimpses of me can be caught as I manage to balance a drink and a mix at the same time.

Bring on sloppy Tuesdays. Embrace hungover Wednesdays.

Boom!

Sud-West Episode 1 (May 31st) : in which one can stretch their livers in anticipation of Amon Tobin’s big kick off Mutek show the next night.

Episodes 2-4 : last Tuesday of every month through August.

When : May 31st
Where : St. Ambroise Terrace – 5080 St. Ambroise (next to canal)
Time : 8:00 PM – midnight

In a continuing mission to bring the tropical heat to a Montreal winter, I’ll be dropping in for a guest slot at (my Sud-West co-host’s) Poirier’s wildly popular Karnival. Nuit Blanche edition which means it’s free free free… and at Club Soda for expanded capacity for this edition. We rocked this shit last year and it was packed all night long. I suggest getting there early to avoid the long lines.

My first DJ gig of my 40’s… see you on the dancefloor… ya god-damn kids!

Excuse the lack of mixes recently. I’ve been busy being Papa Ghostbeard. Getting back on it soon…

Taking a break from diaper changes (fortunately not my own… not that old yet) a man called Ghostbeard stepping out to drop bass at Forward this Thursday (Passeport : 2037 St. Denis). Coming arms with nuff exclusives from Ninja Tune XX box-set and forthcoming Bug material fresh back from the mastering plant. Boom.

Two appearances this week…

Tonight (Aug 31st)… myself & Poirier drop onto the St. Ambroise terrace for our Sud-West monthly :

Where : St. Ambroise Terrace (5080 St. Ambroise)
When : Tuesday, Aug 31st
Price : So Free It’s Free
Time : 8:00 PM – midnight

This Saturday (Sept 4th)… Ghostbeard, Steinski, Shuttle, and Toddla T all lineup for the yearly Ninja Tune edition of Piknic Electronik at Parc Jean Drapeau. $10… from 2PM – 10:00 PM.

Ghostbeard going down a long dark tunnel…Currently dusting off some jungle classics for this old-school throw-down… and remember kids… when I say old-school… I was actually there and everything! Come listen to Grandpa Ghostbeard tell you about the early 90’s… sonically that is.

We’re back… your favorite franco-anglo selectors, Poirier & Ghostbeard, return to take over the St. Ambroise patio each Tuesday through the summer. Beats, beer, and BBQ… for the low low price of FREE!
