Boiler Room Montreal 002 was amazing

Off-Pop, global taste-makers and party webcast organization Boiler Room held its second event in Montreal on Friday.

You know, if every Friday evening kicked off with one of these jams, I could get with it. But then it wouldn’t be quite as special, and a lot of folks would also end up passed out at home by 11 p.m., judging from many day-after accounts.

Off-Pop though it was, this second MTL edition of the global taste-making phenom (read about the first one here) found five of the province’s illest kids — namely Kaytranada, Tommy Kruise, High Klassified, Shash’u and KenLo Craqnuques — in fine form in front of the Boiler Room cam, rigged up at a private residence off Mont-Royal that catered greatly to a wide open, BYOB, boogie down production of merrymaking and scene mixing. The broadcast is being archived and will be online soon — I really hope the cameras captured the moment KenLo completely melted everyone’s face at around 8:30 p.m. or so. ■

He was previously a columnist and reporter for Montreal Mirror, and has also created content (FKA “written”) for RBMA, Noisey, Montreal Gazette, The National Post and probably some other great places he’s forgotten about. Music, culture, community and miscellaneous questions in search of answers all come across his desk, sooner or later.
