When it comes to disco Dimitri from Paris is a genuine authority; a gentleman DJ who loves an image yet eschews spectacle in favour of fastidiously executed musical selections drawing on four decades of glorious music. A global and hugely popular DJ for no other reason than he can educate and create a real party at the same time, Dimitri is a modern day maestro who has fans that span the spectrum, from 'heads' to occasional musical thrill seekers.

DIMITRI FROM PARIS

Rather than pray, I choose to play. And play music is a way I know to express my voice.
I hope this will help, if only so slightly, in lightening the heavy burden that's been recently cast on our lives.

I dedicate this hour of French, nonchalant music to those who's life was taken because they chose to play, rather than pray. 
In Paris, but also elsewhere around the world, they remind us how high is the value of freedom of choice, at the cost of their lives.

Plutôt que de prier, je choisis de jouer, et jouer de la musique est une maniere d'exprimer ma voix. 
J'espère que cela aidera à alléger un tant soit peu ce nouveau fardeau qui entrave nos vies.

Je dédie cette heure de musique, insouciante et française, a ceux dont la vie a été prise parce qu'ils avaient choisi de jouer plutôt que de prier. 
A Paris, mais aussi ailleurs dans le monde, Ils nous rappellent à quel point la liberté de choix est chère. Un prix qu'ils ont payé de leurs vies.

‘Shine (This Is It)’ is the first single from Soul Clap’s self-titled second album, a project that’s been four years in the making. An uplifting house music anthem, it features legendary vocalist Nona Hendryx and includes remixes from Dimitri From Paris and DJ Rocca aka Erodiscotique. 

Nona Hendryx is an original member of the trio Labelle who’s smash single “Lady Marmalade” is a timeless classic. Her solo singles “Transformation” and “Do What You Wanna Do” from the 80’s are equally prolific to her work as a back-up vocalist for a laundry list of legendary acts including Parliament-Funkadelic, Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel. There is magic contained in ‘Shine (This Is It)’ and the strength in Hendryx's vocal empowers our sprits and moves us on the dancefloor. Midnight Magic’s Morgan Wiley delivers an outstanding keyboard solo and fellow bandmate Jason Disu teams up with Kalí Rodríguez and No Regular Play’s Greg Paulus to form the Soul Clap horn section. 

Remixes come courtesy of Erodicotique a collaboration between Dimitri From Paris, the esteemed French producer who gained huge exposure in the mid 90's for his Playboy Mansion mix series and Sacreblue album and DJ Rocca, the modern Italo Disco master. Their main vocal and dubstrumental renditions take us back to the piano driven, Italo House sound of the 90’s with a classic loon sample to prick the ears of the old school. 

“Shine (This is It) started as an experiment using as many sounds from the Moog Sub37 as possible,’ explain Soul Clap, ‘We wanted to write something that felt as modern as it did retro, which is a typical frame of mind for us over here! It’s the big question how can you charge forward but always nod to the past? Shout out goes to Chuck “Tha Fonk” Fishman and Sa’D “The Hourchild” Ali from the Parliament-Funkadelic mob who put us in touch with Nona Hendryx. She was such a pleasure to work with and got into the groove of this record effortlessly.” 

Starting out cutting their teeth in the early rave scene in Boston, Soul Clap soon found fame through a series of house edits and became household names through notable releases including a DJ Kicks alongside close allies Wolf + Lamb. Their funky electronic sound, called EFUNK, earned them honorary entry into the Parliament-Funkadelic family and a release with George Clinton. As DJs they have played around the world and back again, with residencies at legendary venues like DC10, Output and the Electric Pickle.

★ CIRCUIT ★ PΛRTY ★ BOY ★ MONTREΛL ★

MONTRÉAL QC

Stereo
https://stereo.tickit.ca

This is the nightclub that put Montreal on the map, the house that House built. It is known for its gay events, which are plentiful. Check the night before you arrive, but any night it's worth it to sample the sound and lights.

Unity
http://clubunitymontreal.com

This gay favorite offers two rooms with a rooftop terrace for a mostly (but not exclusively) younger dance crowd.

Stud Bar Montréal
www.lestudmontreal.com

The many street-level entrances to Le Stud give the bears, the dads and the lads easy access to the decadence that awaits them inside. Billiard tables and video-game poker machines line the interior of Le Stud and provide opportunities (or at least a cover) for what goes on further inside. Start on the cruisey dancefloor. Then position yourself in a dark corner and let the fun begin. Musical styles range from dance and disco to new wave and rock, but after a while, you’ll be too busy to pay attention.

Sky Pub Club
www.complexesky.com

This mixed venue in the Gay Village has three floors for dancing, each one offering a distinctly different sound for distinctly different crowds, but it is definitely our territory. The food is worth trying.

Aigle Noir
facebook.com/Bar.Aigle.Noir

That's French for “Black Eagle,” and that should give you a hint that this place takes the leather scene very seriously, indeed. Head for the back bar for live fetish shows that make San Francisco or New York (or, for that matter, pre-Castro Havana) look like Peoria. During the summer, the outdoor street-level terrace is filled to the rafters. Theme nights of leather and rubber gear draw in those the hard-core — or at least those who dress that way.

Chez Mado
www.mado.qc.ca

This is the place any of the locals where to catch the best drag show in a city where drag performance is not an entertainment, it's an art form. This internationally renowned campy cabaret offers nightly themes like “La Guerre des Bitches” (“The War of the Bitches”), Edith Piaf cover acts and ABBA tributes.

Campus
www.campusmtl.com

Montreal is justly famous for its gay strip clubs. They're all pretty fabulous, but this is the one to see hot studs dancing in your lap (for a generous tip, of course).

Bar Le Cocktail
www.barlecocktail.com

In the heart of the Gay Village, the crowd may like the sophisticated drink offerings, but it's les spectacles that are the big draw: drag and karaoke, with a French twist (or is that twisted French)?
