DJ Charles recently completed a 3 hour opening set for the Chris Schweizer event last week at Bijou and he was good enough to upload the entire thing to Soundcloud:
It was a fun night with a solid crowd showing up for the young up and coming DJ from Argentina. It was the first time I've been to Bijou and found it be a nice intimate venue, a perfect size for OTS Prod event.
Tonight will be a huge night in Ottawa as there will be 3 separate events that should please almost any EDM fan:
Tommy Trash at Mansion Nightclub (Only $30 tickets remain):
Tommy Trash currently holds the number #1 spot on the Beatport 100 for 'Reload' made with Sebastian Ingrosso, need I say more? If you want to read a recent review on one of his performances in Texas, check out what YourEDM said. He loved every minute.
Project Offset at Bijou Nightclub, $12 at the door:
Project Offset have been a resident of Montreal's Circus Afterhours for some time now and have developed a style that I would consider similar to the stable of artists from Markus Schulz' Coldharbour Record label. To hear what I'm talking about check out their latest Crowd Control Podcast:

Seven Lions is the latest artist to be signed to Skrillex' OWSLA label and is poised to become one of the next big DJs/Producers in the industry. He still holds the number 1 position on the Beatport Dubstep charts and with his upcoming Seven Lions EP + Skrillex consistent Twitter love - he has the potential to rise even higher. To read more about this rising star, check out my write up about Seven Lions I had written last week.
Tonight is a big big night in Ottawa with some heavy hitters in the locale ready to give us all some memorable shows.
A little over ten days ago a new local promotions was created that will focus purely on trance music called OTS Productions. This is welcome news for all Ottawa trance fans because, let's face it, there are simply not enough trance events in our Nation's Capital. The new company is founded by DNA Presents own Kyle Landry who assured me that OTS Productions will focus on bringing great trance acts to Ottawa.
The first OTS Productions night will be on Friday, October 12th at the Bijou Nightclub with Montreal's Trance duo Project Offset. These guys have been lighting up the Montreal trance scene for a while with their residency at the world-class CIrcus Afterhours nightclub. Their latest event was one of their most prominent as they were given the honour as being the sole Montreal opening act for the Coldharbour Recordings night at Circus that occurred over Labour Day Weekend which featured trance talents KhoMha and Mr. Pit.
The inaugural OTS Productions night will bring some much needed hard hitting trance to Ottawa, something that this city hasn't seen since Aly & Fila during Escapade or Paul Van Dyk back in the Spring. To get a better sense of what kind of DJs Project Offset are you can check out their Soundcloud page or listen to their regular Podcast titled Crowd Control.
Here's the latest Crowd Control Podcast mix with special guest Styller:
If you are a trance fan in Ottawa then show your support by heading over to Bijou Nightclub on October 12th! Tickets can be purchased at the door for only $12.
