Residing in a city more renowned for its arty noise raves than its electronic dance nightlife, Circus Afterhours bats for the more nocturnal of Montreal's clubbing population.

Starting around 2am, it's a common feature for night owls looking for beats but unwilling to settle for the R&B fodder offered elsewhere in the city. Those patient enough wait to do so because they know the best is yet to come, packing themselves into this burrow of debauchery to throw shapes to the likes of Digweed, W&W and Orjan Nilsen until midday. Spread over two rooms and fitted with a Funktion One soundsystem loud enough to register on the Richter scale, Circus Afterhours proffers one of the greatest club shows on earth.
