Boo hoo ball "When I'm in the studio or on the turntables," says DJ Cevin Fisher, "all of these thoughts go through my head and it gets very emotional. Sometimes I even cry." Well, let's hope Mr. Dabby Eyes doesn't get all teary on us this Sunday at the Bal en Blanc. The New York DJ who got his start at Zanzibar and hit hard with his "The Way We Used To" EP last year has a propensity for the highly nostalgic. "You know the way we used to do it," he sighs on his 1996 hit, "Music Saved My Life." "You know the way we used to do it in the Paradise Garage." Sheesh! I think I speak for most clubbers when I say, no, I don't know the way you used to do it at The Garage. But Montrealers wondering how people used to do it at our city's Limelight may get a snatch of it this Sunday at the Bal en Blanc (March 30, Metropolis. Info: 284-2266), a queeny runway-ball tradition uprooted from disco's best years. Strangely, former Limelight DJ Robert Ouimet isn't spinning alongside Fisher, Mark Anthony and other guests. But Ouimet has been offered something related. The Limelight is actually reopening. The news is confirmed, the date isn't. The plan is old school disco. It's like a big Cevin Fisher song come to life--a safe, retrogazing "The Way We Used To" in place of anything remotely new. But the project is serious, so I'll stay off the topic until the pre-opening haze clears. Ouimet is as yet not confirmed. *** Dino & Terry of Toronto's enviably large Crash Records are playing Sona this Saturday. The old Streetsound hacks are label-mates to Montreal-based DJ Fred Everything, whose WICKED "C'est la Vie" EP is being released on Crash this month (the busy Sir Everything also has upcoming tracks on Chicago's Guidance and UK's Tag Records). Tickets are $15 and it's open bar until midnight. Entrance is free before 2 a.m. if you have a Bal en Blanc ticket and are enough of a soaker to go to both all-nighters. *** Copyright Liberation Front: Highly illegal mixed tape of the week! Peter Crno goes from Lunasol's burbly "Butterly" to Jedi Knights funk in a manner no less than valiant on his "3 Decembers and a January" mix. Tonic for downtempered souls looking desperately for a new DJ name on Montreal's clubscape. Available at the Movement Research night at World Beat Café (Wednesdays, 1592 St-Laurent. This week Neerav spins.)
