SPECTRUM AND ÎLESONIQ PRESENTS LAYTON GIORDANI | FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2025 | MTELUS

Special guests:
LINSKA, KEV SUNSHINE and SHIRLEE

Friday, November 14, 2025 from 10:30 p.m. to late!
MTELUS, Montreal 

AND TURN MTELUS INTO A "RAVE" EVENT
WITH FULL BAR SERVICE ALL NIGHT LONG!
 

MTELUS, known for offering an exceptional environment for festive and cultural events in Montréal, will once again transform itself on Friday, November 14, 2025, into a late-night celebration running from 10:30 p.m. until the early hours of the morning! To complete the experience, a full bar service will be available throughout the entire event.

Just six months after installing a cutting-edge giant video wall at MTELUS, a new locally designed production—created by promoters NEON and evenko in collaboration with CR34TE—joins the arsenal of this iconic concert venue for a dance party not to be missed.

To mark the occasion, none other than New York DJ and producer LAYTON GIORDANI—protégé of Adam Beyer and collaborator of Green Velvet, with both feet firmly planted in high-intensity techno and house—will perform a two-hour set (or longer, if the vibe is right!) Alongside him, the magnetic LINSKA will bring her sharp-edged blend of techno and house infused with UK sounds, following opening sets by Montréal’s own KEV SUNSHINE and SHIRLEE, who are sure to ignite the dance floor.

The partnership between îLESONIQ and SPECTRUM represents a growing commitment to underground electronic music within the festival’s programming, infused with SPECTRUM’s signature atmosphere and artistic direction. The concept has already taken over Montréal’s Grand Quai du Vieux-Port multiple times, showcasing headliners such as Nicole Moudaber, ANNA, Space 92, Kevin de Vries, Cloonee, and Adriatique.

WHEN: Friday, November 14, 2025

TIME: 10:30 p.m. – late!

WHERE: MTELUS (18+)

FISH56OCTAGON AND ISSEY CROSS COMBINE FOR NEW SINGLE “DREAMING (FEELINGS)”

One of the most loved & recognisable names in dance music, Fish56Octagon joins forces with breakout vocalist Issey Cross on 'Dreaming (Feelings)', a standout, high-octane record already teased on socials with 4M+ views across their 1.3M combined following. 

Stream/download: Dreaming (Feelings) Fish56Octagon x Issey Cross

Behind the now iconic dressing gown and dry Weetabix breakfasts is Fish56Octagon, one of dance music’s most distinctive voices. Known for his encyclopedic sets and viral content, Fish has built a global following thanks to his endless passion for electronic music new and old. His “School of Fish” project supports grassroots talent though his own Octagon Discs label, and 2025 has been another huge year already. 

Issey Cross is a singer-songwriter from Kent, England, who has had collaborative hits with artists like Wilkinson and Nathan Dawe in the past, and also had UK Top 40 success with her tracks “Bittersweet Goodbye” and "Used To This".

Says Fish56Octagon, 'Dreaming (Feelings)' is my remake of an Ibiza classic, a 90's house anthem by Ruff Driverz. I wanted to bring it to a new audience and also respectfully jog the memory of people who like the original. It was so important to me to preserve that sun-kissed Balearic feel, but also pound out a more driving drumtrack and a punchy bass, so we've got something that maintains that emotive ethereal quality of the original but slaps on the dancefloor in 2025 " 

'Dreaming (Feelings)' is an emotive and uplifting anthem with the pure, soaring vocals of Issey Cross and powerful breakbeats all working to get hands in the air and dance floors going off, especially once the vast bassline drops. 

This new single comes ahead of Fish56Octagon's landmark O2 Academy Brixton headline set and extensive UK and US tour and marks another defining moment for Fish’s rapid ascent through the underground to the wider dance scene.

HGODS RELEASES “BAD FLESH”, A RELENTLESS TRACK THAT PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES OF THE UNDERGROUND

A champion of Brooklyn’s underground bass scene, HGods returns with “BAD FLESH”, an audacious exploration of rhythm that defies the limits of genres. Known for impressive ear for musical design, HGods pushes his sound into darker, dirtier territory with a track engineered for maximal intensity.

stream/download: BAD FLESH - HGods

Built around two bold drops, “BAD FLESH” mutates in real time, twisting drum sequences into disorienting new patterns while sharp, metallic textures carve through walls of bass. A booming low end anchors the experience, but this is no paint-by-numbers track. It shifts and it evolves. Never content to settle into a groove, HGods weaponizes variation itself to keep listeners on their toes.

The track arrives at a pivotal moment in HGods’ upward trajectory. Through recent releases including his “DON’T TRIP” EP with featured highlights including “THE COMMOTION” and “JACKIE KENNEDY”, he’s carved out a unique space in a scene hungry for originality. From playing direct support for Illenium at Brooklyn’s Avant Gardner for the second year in a row, to sharing the stage with bass legends-turned-duo Kill Safari, his recent sets have sharpened his edge and revealed the raw intensity of his creative vision.

As both a producer and performer, HGods thrives in tension between genres, expectations, and sonic extremes. “BAD FLESH” stands as further proof that HGods is here to push boundaries, not play it safe.

QUOTE FROM HGODS

“BAD FLESH is a refined product of my original sound through the blending of my many artistic influences and life experiences. It's an indication of what I have in store for future releases which I'm very excited and proud to share in the coming months, as I believe I have something special developing with this project."

HGods is a force in the modern dubstep scene, this Brooklyn based producer/DJ is known for his high-voltage blend of brutal bass design, sharp aesthetics, and livewire performance energy. With releases landing on Spotify’s top editorial playlists and sets at iconic venues like The Brooklyn Mirage and Elements Festival , HGods is carving out a lane where chaos meets control.

 

Drawing sonic influence from his broad music tastes, and visual inspiration from retro sci-fi,  B-horror, and bootleg nostalgia, HGods' world is as cinematic as it is crushing. Every track is engineered to detonate, merging meticulous sound design with a punk sensibility.
