Bal en Blanc 2007 - Superhero Party Video
Ok, I know this is a little late. This past Easter, Mark and I met up with our friends in Ottawa (our soon-to-be home!) to head to Montreal for a little party. “Little” as in us and 15,000 of our closest friends. Boy-boy squishee-squishee.
But also boy-girl squishee-squishee, as this was a predominantly straight event. Bal en Blanc is a white party thrown every Spring, and it was a Superhero theme this year. We had an awesome time, and Offer Nissim fucking rocked the house. He’s my current favorite event DJ by a long shot - look at how he freaks out and totally gets into it.. he himself, is a show. If you ever have a chance to see Offer - preferably at a large event like this one - GO. Mya also did a great live performance… I’ve enhanced the audo in that section with the mp3 of the track, as the bass was distorting the recording and her vocals matched up almost perfectly.
We decked ourselves out in white, and themed our outfits with Superhero logos. I was the Flash, Mark was the Green lantern, and Andre was… the Green Arrow? The others were just white, I think.
Anyhow, we had a “bal.” Looking forward to more big, fun parties once we’re 100 minutes from Montreal.
PS: If anyone has the version of Bronski Beat - “Why” that is playing in the last section of this video, please send it my way… I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. I’d love you forever.

Love the Video. My friend Frederic Larue sent the Link. What a great way to rememeber such a great Party. Almost seems like i could have been shooting the video as I was dancing just about at the same angle from the stage.
COOL!
Thanx for the post. You’ve just solidified for my brother and a co-worker what I’ve been telling them for a few months, the Nokia is already superior to the iphone.
Great Vid, great mixing.
I was reading your post on the party…trying to find the track by Mya that she was singing live. What’s the title…love it!
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Is there any way I can request for you to shave my head while I stare at your abs, too?
Offer Nissim is Amazing! You have great friends, especially this Andre guy. I think I want to move to Canada and Marry him because he’s Beautiful and he says “punctuation station.”
Great vid, the N95 seems to perform almost as well as my brand new N93 ;-)
there was a remake of “why” by Supermode from last year called “tell me why”. The vocals are quite similar to Jimmy’s and there was a truckload of mixes from people like Axwell and Steve Angello.
However, none of the mixes I’ve heard have the full vocals like this one.
worth ckecking out, at least.
