| Info: | 1.History & Events 2.The People 3.Mission statement 4.Future I LOVE NEON – HISTORY Neon began as a concept in late 1997 at DNA Records where John & Tiga worked, ordering & selling techno & electro from the likes of Dopplereffekt, The Advent, Anthony Rother & the Hacker. Electro had existed as a musical genre since day one, but hadn’t really stepped up to the limelight like it’s most current incarnation, & important labels like Gigolo Recordings & Montreal’s own Turbo Recordings were still in their infancy. DNA was looking for a weekly venue to house their eclectic mix of tastes, so along with long time partner & friend Justin, John & Tiga began to look for the perfect club night, one that would showcase minimal techno/house & electro. The challenge was that Techno was getting a little boring, everyone was getting a little tired of minimal & modular, everything seemed to lack character, after-hours clubs were dull & people weren’t partying at all, just watching the DJ, DNA’s club night was to only go till 3 am, & showcase a new sound that had the hard edge of techno, mixed with the crossover potential of pop & punk, something people could really have fun listening too. The first round of club nights were called Cobra, their were only 4 Cobra events in all, all four featured Tiga & Thomas as the DJs & John as the Host, the events were somewhat of a success, but never really settled in to a permanent home until finally Justin made a Thursday night deal at the now defunct Jai bar that would later put Montreal on the electro map, or as the Hacker would later put it, “Montreal is the Electro capitol of north America.” After weeks of planning, Justin came up with the name NEON, & the night began week after week & the following began to grow. Eventually NEON would outgrow Jai & take a break, Tiga was touring & NEON would have to wait until November 24th, 2001 where NEON teamed up with the S.A.T & launched the first in a series of nights dedicated to alternative electronics, mainly Electro. The first event was to celebrate Tiga’s MIX CD, “American Gigolo” and was a huge success, drawing a total of 600 people. More important than the amount of people in attendance was that NEON had officially established itself as the leader in Montreal's fledgling Electro scene. NEON would later book the likes of Miss Kitten & The Hacker, Crossover, FPU, Zyntherius & draw over capacity crowds to all of it’s events. EVENTS [ All of the NEON events have existed without any corporate sponsorship & have eluded all politics that surround usual club nights, there are no door people who choose who gets in & there are no bouncers guarding the DJ booth & VIP rooms, crowds are respected & they show respect back, NEON has received countless offers to be bought & has turned everyone down, every event is done with heart & respect for the people who support it, and as the people involved do not make a living as promoters, this will never have to change.] 1999- NEON (DJ Hell) at Jai bar – 200 people / capacity 2000- NEON (Jori Hulkonnen AKA Zyntherius) at Jai bar - 200 people / capacity 2001- ILOVENEON 1 (Tiga + Vitalic LIVE) at the SAT - 600 people 2002- ILOVENEON 2 (Tiga + Miss Kitten & the Hacker LIVE) at the SAT - 980 people / capacity 2002- ILOVENEON 3 (Tiga & Zyntherius + Crossover LIVE) at the SAT - 760 people / capacity 2002- ILOVENEON 4 (Tiga + FPU LIVE [SWEDEN] + CHROMEO feat.
