The tech-house superstar warms us up for his set at Marquee.

Have you been to Marquee—one of the venues that defined the ongoing (but perhaps fading) models-and-bottles clubbing era—since it’s reopened as a more DJ-oriented hotspot? Sure, you could say the place is playing catch-up with the EDM craze—but the place is a trip, with a full-on sound system, flashy-flash lighting and go-go action aplenty. They’ve don a pretty good job with the DJ booking as well (it probably helps that Sleepy & Boo are part of the team), with the likes of Danny Howells and Dubfire having already passed through. Now it’s James Zabiela’s turn: The tech- and progressive-house star will be playing the club on Friday, February 22. If you can’t wait till then, here’s a short-but-very-sweet set, culled from his beloved Paradigm Shift series of mixes, straight from the head honcho of the Born Electric label himself—with a video of the Zabiela-produced “The Healing” tossed in for good measure.

James Zabiela plays Marquee on Friday, Feb 22.

  • Clubs

Cielo finishes off its tenth-birthday fun with a fantastic 4/4 fiesta. Cielo’s weeks-long tenth-anniversary celebration included plenty of great nights, with parties featuring the likes of Horse Meat Disco, Wolf + Lamb and Soul Clap, the Martinez Brothers and other stars of the house, techno and disco scenes. But the ever-youthful club may have saved the best for last: The final party of the series, tossed in conjunction with the venerable Nervous label, featured Norway’s world-conquering Todd Terje and New York City deck icon Danny Krivit on the wheels of steel, with Walker & Royce opening—and it was a killer party, with a great selection of house, disco and boogie keeping the dance floor packed all night long.

Photos and interviews: Montreal's Igloofest
  • Clubs

Despite the bone-chilling weather, the amazing wintertime electronic-music shindig Igloofest packs in Montreal's party people. TONY had the good fortune of attending the second weekend of Montreal’s ongoing Igloofest, a monthlong electronic-music hoedown held outdoors on a pier along the Saint Lawrence River. Just how crazy is it to toss an outdoor festival in Montreal in the middle of winter? Here’s how crazy: On our first fest night, the temperature was 14 degrees below zero. And that’s Fahrenheit! Luckily, the music played by the fabulous lineup, which included Germany’s Ellen Allien and Pan-Pot, France’s Miss Kittin and Siberia’s Nina Kraviz (who probably thinks of 14 below as a steam bath), was hot enough to keep the frostbite away. If you hurry, there’s still time to catch the shindig’s final (and with any luck, less frigid) weekend, with sets coming courtesy of Joy Orbison, Ben UFO, Chris Liebing, a slew of their fellow international superstars and a crew of very cool locals. Igloofest’s final weekend runs from Thursday, February 7 through Saturday, February 9.

Interview: FaltyDL
  • Clubs

The evolution of the talented FaltyDL's sound continues with the release of a new album. In the late aughts, Drew Lustman, better known as FaltyDL, came to the electronic-music world’s attention via a series of intricately crafted, jungle-tinged IDM EPs. But his latest album, the beautiful Hardcourage—which sees him moving from the Planet Mu label to the venerable Ninja Tune—repositions Lustman as a creator of deep, sumptuous and emotionally engaging gems. He’ll be celebrating the LP’s release with a gig at Mister Saturday Night on Saturday 26.Does the name of the new album have any particular significance? In the past year and a half or so, while I was making the album, I was also deciding what label to release it on, as well as getting into a new relationship and moving to a new apartment. You know, the kind of life stuff that happens to all of us. But at one point, I was like, Fuck it—I’ll just give this album to Planet Mu, I won’t change apartments…I’ll try not to challenge myself with anything. It took a lot of courage to go through with everything. Hadn’t you also released a track called “Hardcourage” just prior to the album coming out? Yeah, it’s a little bit confusing, I guess. That one is not on the album. I think that, at the time, I simply liked the way that word sounded. But began to realize that it meant a little bit more to me than just the name of a track, so here it is: Hardcourage.I was going to ask you about the label change. Was there any particular reason
