New years... depends... theres usually a variety. I got with the smaller jungle parties tho. those never fail.

best locals...... we have so many.
tho... many of them are under appreciated and.. the shit Djs get all the attention. IMO.

club nights.... friday the met... if thats even a club?!
I dunno bout during the week, cause I live to far away to go out.

heres another fine establishment you should visit on your stay in the greater vancouver area.

pancho & lefty's, on king george hwy and 107th, you should walk out of there feeling superior to everyone that frequents there, if you leave early (which you most likely will) you should check out "red hot video" which is on the same block on the corner of east whalley ring road and 108th avenue. surrey has endless possibilities in many aspects.

edit: holy crap i just found a site for them

Pacific, Psidream and Dabbler are all top shelf dj's and producers. So check them out when you get into town. Automatic tuesdays, Fridays at the met. Pendulum show coming in sept. The hip hop expo is coming up, TONNES of talent coming through in sept. Spectrum events is THE shit when it comes to hip hop shows.

Vancouver is a "house city", with a goodly amount of trance thrown in for good measure (on the electronic tip anyway, leaving out hip hop). The reason that the big dnb shows are all during the week is because there's just no market for the big shows on the weekend (on a regular basis, and this is subject to one-off clubnights).

As for Mtl and TO, can't answer. ;)

FNK is the place to be for Raves

^^^ I'd have to agree with MIssbehavior.

Vancouver is totally about "house".
If you're looking for breaks or Speed garage you'll have to go to a rave.

As far as club nights go I'v had fun at the "Red Room" on Saturdays down by
East Hastings and Richards. (house mostly)

Events like NYE seem to always have a massive or two usually down by the Pne. (Agrodome whatever).
