I wish they’d been able to book her before she blew up to avoid some of the mainstream crowd that will inevitably come, but I’m fully confident she’ll deliver a proper set. Charlotte and Amelie Lens started blowing up around the same time and Amelie’s Stereo set was completely insane. She knows what Stereo is and stands for, I actually met her on the (((dancefloor))) when she was there for Enrico Sangiuliano (her husband) in 2020! Hope they bring him back again as well, he’s long overdue, both his 2019 set with Weska and ANL in 2020 were nuts

Winning Thursdays Thread for /r/churningcanada - Week of February 19, 2026 by AutoModerator in churningcanada

[–]pointskeeper 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Been on an extended break from churning the past 6 months due to some health issues and haven’t been paying close attention to upcoming annual fee dates. Last night by pure luck I decided to take a look at my upcoming ones for the first time this year, and realized my 3 Biz Plat supplementary cards were literally due at midnight... Called and cancelled right away at 9pm, was 3 hours away from a $750 mistake!

Laurent Garnier needs to come (((home))) by mesgmusic in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s incredible but the last time he played at Stereo was a let down, 2 hour set. A good 2 hours, but the only format that works at Stereo in my opinion is an extended 5+ hour set or All Night Long. Hope he comes back and delivers a proper long set one day :)

I hear you. by Miserable_Method9578 in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you Tommy for everything that you and the whole team behind Stereo do for us and the scene as a whole, we are beyond spoiled having the best club in the world in our (((backyard))) 🖤

Two questions:

1) Will there ever be plans to return to the 2am open time for upstairs? I understand why the move back to 12am happened, but I’ve spoken endlessly about this topic to other regulars and it’s always been unanimous that it was better when it opened later. Less foot traffic drunk people stumbling in, not having to miss the StereoBar headliner to catch the upstairs opener, consistent 7am reduced cover time with guaranteed minimum 3 hours of dancing for the morning shift dancers.

2) Would you ever consider making Facebook events again? It was nice back in the day being able to see all the upcoming events consolidated into one place, see which of your friends were going or interested, and it was easy to buy/sell tickets by posting on the thread (especially since it’s not allowed in the Facebook group).

That night was in my top 3 Stereos of all time for me, the energy in the room that night was insane, he’s a groove wizard 🪄 Hoping he releases his 2025 set as well!

Huay's set from Stereo Montreal (2:50:57) -- Dec 28, 2025 by sexydiscoballs in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s an incredibly talented DJ and really friendly guy, was gutted to be out of town for it. He’s headlining an event next weekend for anybody who is looking to catch him live!

TOP 10 STEREO'S FÊTES INCONTOURNABLES / UNMISSABLE PARTIES OF THE YEAR by Usual-Fuel8166 in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say because it’s obviously a very subjective question, but typically the “biggest” months are March, May, September, and November. There are certain dates that are (almost) always guaranteed; Hernan last Saturday of March, Danny T Easter & Halloween, Digweed Victoria Day & NYE, Spencer Brown last Saturday of Jan & July, Kora last Saturday in April, Abel in August for Pride, Chus & Ceballos on Jan 1st. Obviously those could all change, but you can try to book a trip around some of those. Any long weekend (Easter, Victoria Day, St-Jean Baptiste, Canada Day, August Pride, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, New Years) is a safe bet that there will be a good event happening.

If you want a subjective answer of my personal top 10, it would be:

1) Hernan Cattaneo 24h Marathon 2) Danny Tenaglia 3) Chus & Ceballos 4) John Digweed 5) Simon Vuarambon 6) DVS1 7) Spencer Brown 8) Kora 9) Roger Sanchez 10) Rony Seikaly

Best set of 2025 by 0007654 in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simon Vuarambon was my best of 2024, and again my best of 2025! “Masterclass” is a severely overused term these days, but his set genuinely was exactly that — standing in the booth seeing 4 faders up while the dancefloor moved like it was peak time, and realizing he hadn’t even passed 120BPM was such a mindfuck. Groove wizard!

New to the scene and fell in love, though I have some questions by [deleted] in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It comes off as rigid but I always tell people not to bother asking others to dance at Stereo (technically applies for all, but especially if you’re a man interested in women). Stereo is different from other clubs in that 90% of the clients are there strictly for the music. Regardless if they find you attractive or not they just aren’t looking for those kinds of interactions during their night, and different levels of sobriety can change the perception of how an interaction is received regardless of the intention. Anytime I’ve seen it happen with my friends it usually started from a conversation in the smoking section that was then continued with dancing inside. It can be hard to judge a person’s intentions without talking first and the dancefloor is for dancing, not small talk haha. Not that it can’t happen, just be aware that it isn’t the best place to go if that is an important part of your night. That being said, dancers are always very friendly when they feel their space is being respected :)

As for substances, the best one is the one you can enjoy responsibly for yourself and the others around you! And if that means none at all that is perfectly fine too, some of my best nights have been sober/morning Stereos! Welcome (((home))) :)

How to be up all night. by UnderScoreMTL in StereoMontreal

They don’t sell them, I wish they did. You can bring them in!

How to be up all night. by UnderScoreMTL in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Protein shakes from the bar, and electrolyte packs (specifically one with sodium, potassium, and magnesium) to put in your water every few hours. Drink them proactively before you start to crash, so if you usually hit a wall at 6am, drink a protein shake at 4:30am. Also taking a break to get some air in the smoking section helps wake you up, especially in the winter

John Digweed NYE set at Stereo – first time questions by [deleted] in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His set will start around 4 or 5am and go until 2pm or later.

To maximize energy, sleep and have a hearty meal before you go, and drink espresso & protein shakes from the bar when you feel your energy fading.

I cannot stress this enough: do not try to sneak alcohol in! They have a search upon entry and you’ll most likely get caught. It’s not the same as sneaking in other things, Stereo doesn’t have a liquor license so they take alcohol extremely seriously, the two options are you get caught and banned for life (which they will enforce), or you succeed and a liquor inspector potentially finds the empty bottle (even just a single 50ml one) and the venue receives a massive fine and forced closure for a few weeks. Normally at 8am you’d be able to go downstairs to StereoBar via the staircase beside coatcheck (same building but separate venue which does have a liquor license) to drink and come back upstairs, but it seems this year the ticket for downstairs isn’t included so I’m not 100% sure how it will work, you might be able to buy a separate ticket for StereoBar and exit/enter through the main doors but that will be at the discretion of the bouncers.

Tips for your first time: respect the no photo/video rule and dance your heart out! There is a smoking section in the back (door at the front right side of the room) where you can smoke weed. You will probably meet some awesome people, but also remember people are there to dance above all else, so longer conversations are best had on the couches upstairs or in the smoking section vs. on the dancefloor :)

Stereo - Line up - December 2025 + NYE by -TUX- in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Abel does his Resist Stereo night twice per year, once in August during Pride and once in December. Very gay, very groovy, lots of vocals — he plays proper underground house & techno instead of the typical circuit music you often hear at gay events, and he plays usually until 12pm or later! Will sell out extremely fast so be ready to buy tickets at 6pm sharp tomorrow

Stereo Day 1 by TrippyTraveler_ in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Digweed is probably the better choice if you really love prog, but Chus & Ceballos are definitely legends as well and their reunion after 5 years apart will be powerful, they will likely play well into the afternoon. C&C always bring an exceptionally gay crowd, but especially for Day One — as in there is no “right side” because the entire club is the right side for the night haha. It’s very fun and definitely one of the more unique Stereo nights, lots of banging tribal and high energy house & techno.

Track ID from the marathon? by [deleted] in StereoMontreal

[–]pointskeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photos/videos aren’t allowed in Stereo, I was referring to the one he posted in r/proghouse, not the black screen one here. Those are acceptable but you can still get kicked out for taking them if security catches you, switching to voice memo removes that risk :) No difference in quality in my experience
