Sach O occasionally appears in public To be honest, I have no idea what percentage of this site’s readership lives in the Montreal area. General analytics indicate that the majority of the people who check out this blog reside on the East and West coasts of North-America (no love dirty south?) with a strong European […]

Sach O can’t go on together…with suspicious minds! Ignore the mugshot/album cover, N-Type is one funny dude. How funny? Funny enough to use a week’s hour and half of Rinse FM airtime to play nothing but 70’s and 80’s pop tunes back in October. From “Red Red Wine” to more obscure boogie funk, dude goes […]

Sach O’s still promoting that Son Raw mix, bruv. There are approximately 765 Bass music shows going down in MTL each week (give or take) and so I try to promote sparingly, reserving praise for the really real. Cartel Thursdays, last mentioned here when bringing in Appleblim, have become favorites of mine, presenting an alternative […]

Photo by Jonathan Clark While Montreal’s club scene mostly remains the domain of muscle-shirted cretins and vapid-eyed skeezers* gorging themselves on bottle service to the rhythms of Euro-House and cheese-trance, the city has also spawned a wonderfully diverse selection of bass-music events over the past few years.

While Jeff, Zilla and the LA crew recover from what was surely an epic night of madness, debauchery and incredibly dope music in LA, I console myself with the thought of back to back DJ sets from DJ Premier and Pete Rock in Montreal tonight. The promoters are billing it as “The Hip-Hop event of […]

At the risk of turning the Thursday afternoon spot into a weekly summary of what I’ve got planned for the weekend, the awesome Komodo Dubs night is returning to Montreal after a two month hiatus: an event that my fellow citizens would be wise not to miss. In addition to some choice local talent and […]

Sach O’s new years resolution was to get out more and to be the last music writer to have never signed up for the ILM message board. So far so good. Shocking revelation: I try to avoid reading about music on the Internet. Obviously, I still consume more online music criticism than is acceptable for […]

In which Sach O comes to grips with his Canadian ancestry. Between the excellent Sukh Knight/Komodo Dubs show and a couple of alcohol and drug-fueled Dubstep raves, November was already lining up to be a banner month for Bass music in Montreal but last Saturday’s Organized Grime event sealed the deal. Though it lacked the […]
