| Description: | DJ SERGE DUCHESNE
How can one describe Serge Duchesne? Celeda’s classic phrase to party-goers played randomly in nightclubs and parties around the world does it best: let Me Take You on A Trip.
It’s the only way not to mistake Serge Duchesne’s unforgettable sets on countless dance floors where he skilfully takes us on a journey full of percussive house sounds with a deep underground undercurrent. When the sounds, licks and rythm of his infernal take on a house music transcend our very being and reach the uttermost cells fo our music craving minds, it is hard to say good bye to one of Serge’s truly magical nights. That’s how his music communicates to a crowd. It’s his way of telling a story.
His journey is a veritable story of it’s own. He got his start int 80’s on the turntables of Montreal’s Key Club where his musicla diversity was first experimented through alternative, industrial, electronic and house music. And as his story unfolded, his punch got better and better. In fact, his musical depth and style all his own tagged him in the bar scene as a DJ of the future.
Toward the bigining of the 90’s there was a twist to his journey: Lighting. He spent 5 years illustrating music through lights and color. Then he returned to his first love in around 1995 at Le Royal as…you guessed it, a DJ. Now just off his newly esperience as a lighting designer, DJ Serge Duchesne understands the importance of communion between lighting and music and is a magician at creating one of the most intimate musical ambiances with complicity from lighting designers he works with from dusk until dawn. Sounds reveal emotions which are manifested through bodily movements and tranformed into color corresponding to different chakras allowing each and every person to behold a visual oasis.
In 1996, he became a resident DJ at Sky Club and perfected his style in house music. In 1999, he was resident DJ every sundays at Unity Club and went on the Sushi Nights on Thursdays, as well as performing live sets at the afterhours club Otter lImits on sundays. Since 1997, he has participated in many large-scale events such as the Bd Boy Club de Montreal’s Black & Blue festival, Divers Cité (Pride Ball at Aria), Le Bal en Blanc, has been a regular guest in Vancouver & Toronto’s afterhours scene and at the Montreal’s famous Stereo.
A new journey has just begun: Production. A lot of new stuff will see the day very soon. He’s also a buyer/retailer for record shop (Da Muzz Records) since 1999. As you can see music is his life because life is music.
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear a skilfully orchestrated set by this magician of a DJ, Serge Duchesne. A mind, body and soul experience.
Serge a une longue expérience dans le monde des clubs de Montréal. Actif dans plusieurs aspects de la vie de nuit (il a par exemple été éclairagiste dans différents clubs), il est maintenant un DJ respecté dans notre ville. Serge a joué en tant que DJ résident et a évolué dans plusieurs clubs depuis les années 90 tel que le Sky, Unity I, Parking, Church pour n’en nommer que quelques uns. Intéressé par différents styles musicaux et possédant une vaste culture musicale, Serge décrit son style comme un « house » aux percussions prédominantes avec une trame « deep underground ». Sa grande expérience est fortement perçue lorsqu’il joue et voilà pourquoi il a le contrôle total de la piste de danse qu’il emplit d’émotion à travers les rythmes. Régulièrement invité à l’incomparable ((( Stéréo ))), il fait aussi sa marque lors des grands événements du BBCM (Metropolis, Circus), Divers/Cité (Aria) et sur la scène de Vancouver (Gorg-O-Mish, World). |
