To finish off the first weekend, the techno gets dark n’ dirty for those who like their parties stretching out for days. From 7:30pm, Montreal’s Debbie Døe warms up the Sapporo stage, followed at 9pm by a reunion with one of our favourite DJs, Misstress Barbara, joining us this time out to celebrate her 20th year in the game! At 10:45pm, British techno pioneer Dave Clarke shows up to take us to the finish line. Keeping the stage visually stunning are TiND (7:30pm) and Diagraf (10:45pm).

At the Videotron Mobile stage, Maus and Soundshaper, two DJs who’ve kept the local fires burning for several generations of parties now, join forces at 8pm to deliver euphoric moments all night long. It’ll all look great courtesy of Jocool (8pm) and VJ Homing (10pm).
