NEON CREW

THIS IS NEON:
Neon began as a concept & quickly became a collective in late 1998 when friends Tiga, Justin, John & Mark teamed up to create the perfect club night that could house the groups eclectic & ever growing musical & visual tastes. Music was evolving, but the existing clubs were getting boring & formulaic. The new club night the four were designing was to stay true to its mission of quality & originality. The Idea was to do away with the traditional club look & feel & start from scratch, doing away with lasers, smoke machines & introducing interior & graphic design, mood & lighting elements that would match the new sounds that were developing throughout the world. Everything had to change, the layout of the venue physically & visually to accommodate the new musical sound NEON was introducing.

Since its creation, NEON has been through many incarnations & almost as many venue changes until settling down at the now defunct Jai Bar in 1999 for a 1 year stretch until the club shut its doors in early 2000. Homeless & hungry, NEON took a break (while Tiga toured the world) & looked for the perfect venue to accommodate their growing following and satisfy the need for a new, raw space with quality sound & atmosphere that wasn't an existing night club. In late 2001 NEON moved into the SAT, (The Society for Art & Technology) a digital art research facility and art gallery, which provided NEON with the solution it needed; a bigger space that could fit more people comfortably & that could also be completely transformed physically every time to suit the needs of each individual event.

NEON continues to produce countless successful events at this and other venues, hosting the likes of Soulwax LIVE, James Murphy, Tim Sweeny, 2 Many DJs, LCD Soundsystem, Digitalism, Alex Gopher, The Glimmers, Headman, Tiefshwarz, MSTRKRFT, Mylo, Juan Maclean, DJ T, MANDY, Vive La Fte, Miss Kitten & The Hacker, James Friedman, Felix Da Housecat, Crossover, Chromeo, Jori Hulkkonen, Martini Bros, Black Strobe, Ivan Smagghe, Richie Hawtin, Morgan Geist, Tiga, A touch of Class USA, Jesper Dahlbck, DJ Hell, Steve Bug, Highfish, Tommie Sunshine, ADNY, Water Lilly, MOTOR LIVE, Jordan Dare , Plastique De Reve, Boys Noize, The Presets, Riton, Gildas & Masaya (Kitsune) and many more.

NEON has consistently drawn over capacity crowds to all of its events.

The NEON collective has been working with the same artists since its conception. We are photographers, musicians & designers producing the events, not promoters. Everything is done in house, by us & our own people, nothing is sub contracted. The events are based around one simple mandate, sincerity. NEON is genuinely who we are & it shows in our events. There is a certain truth to any movement or event that is not motivated by profits and we try to extend this to all that we do. NEON exists to improve the music industry, to raise the standard, not deplete & capitalize, but to continually challenge the senses with new and innovative sounds & visuals.

Graphic & Interior designers by day, Justin Dallegret, John Hatz & Mark Dillon (Co-owner of Internationally acclaimed Turbo Recordings) handle all aspects of the companies branding, identity, music selection, bookings & marketing.

The events have become way more than just a party; they have become a global movement, gaining momentum every time with requests to bring this magical vibe on tour recreating the NEON look & feel in cities such as New York, Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, LA, Quebec City, Ottawa, Vancouver & in countries such as Spain, Italy, Mexico & Germany. NEON artists & the Montreal music scene are gaining more attention global media attention than ever. Montreal has become a hot bed for independent music & our artists & labels are gaining world wide recognition with NEON artists are at that forefront.

With Tiga, Jordan Dare, & Thomas Von Party on the NEON roster as residents, the event & movement is poised to go global at any time. The expansion is set to begin with additional NEON events planned for Toronto & Las Vegas in early 2007, stay tuned.
