This Saturday at Système we celebrate 3 years of the current iteration of Armable, but in a previous life Armable operated as an online radio based out of Santiago, Chile. The project, led by @cordltx @vigliensoni and @dedosmuertos , began in 2007 and ran until 2009, consisting of a 24-hour broadcast combining a rotation of both new and old tracks with a diverse lineup of resident shows. Digging through the archives, we were able to recover some material offering a glimpse of what was an ambitious, punk, fully DIY project, but also perhaps not fully understood at the time.

Photo for reference. [4] Promo flyer Come celebrate the past, the present, and the future alongside our special guests: DJ Frog, Aram, and Guthrie. 10 PM - 6 AM Ticket link in bio @resident_advisor

After a reopening weekend belter, Armable returns to Système for another all-nighter alongside: DJ Frog // Fresh off the release of new project “Cheeks”, we welcome one of Montréal’s best. Doo’s amphibian promises long, driven, loopy grooves that sit on the quirkier end of the spectrum. Aram // Whether it’s a rave on the Voie Maritime or a makeshift DJ booth on top of Plongeoir’s pool table, the Zamalek brewer makes no distinction and just keeps it burning. This time, he’s on the controls all the way until the morning sun. Guthrie from Ferias joins santinista to warm things up. 10 PM - 6 AM Tickets available via Système’s RA page. Art by @lookingforloot

Armable x Body Language come together for Système’s big return. The Nova Scotian town of Petite Rivière is home to Body Language, @exploriasound ’s yearly weekender. Approaching its fifth edition, the festival has become a gathering point for artists and dancers from across Canada, featuring diverse lineups that explore various corners of alternative dance music. Independent DIY festivals occupy a shrinking space in an ecosystem dominated by the likes of Superstruct and Live Nation. They remain rare instances where choices regarding programming, scale, and atmosphere revolve around community, which ultimately is what sustains them. On March 20, they join us for an extended night at the freshly upgraded Système, with: Kiju

Armable and U-TURN link up for a night of dancing at @systeme_mtl , featuring stellar locals @ramzilllla & DJ Spence. Ramzilla is the DJ moniker for Phoebé Guillemot’s fictional character RAMZi. This forest-dwelling creature excels in atmospheric groovers that draw from various genres and influences, and has become one of the city’s most precious exports. Some say DJ Spence only listens to music through the Discogs youtube player. The Doo label co-head sits right in that sweet spot where obscure meets danceable. Expect a deep one from the CKUT conspirator. @raefizm & @santinista on warm-up. Système’s bar will be operating on an extended schedule for the occasion. FREE W/ RSVP [link in bio] Flyer by the amazing @cachou_2000

015 is an assortment of weird & funky cuts by groove farmer @simm.tal . With influences from all over, s.talbot brings a breath of fresh air to Montréal’s techno scene, digging deep into his bag for this one. Link in bio.

013 takes us to Prince Edward Island, land of potatoes, heavy a$$ beats, and Liftkit. This duo, composed of producers Willow Bell and Alexandra O’Sullivan, has been the Maritimes’ best-kept secret until recently. A regular feature in the region’s most iconic raves (cc @exploriasound ), Liftkit is the synthesis of influences from their years in Montreal, a love for machines, and a hands-on approach to music. Their performance at @mutekmontreal this year has propelled the project toward exciting new endeavours, and this Radio Armable instalment showcases their current palette of sounds along with some much sought-after unreleased material.

O’eleven on the Radio Armable mix series is a treat from our beloved Google Maps guide, DJ, producer, and audio engineer @ranmaentero . Sergio is an artist with a unique and ambitious vision; whether through his own productions or his work as the co-founder of @wavawava , he is constantly seeking innovative ways to transmit art, always embracing unconventionality and a feeling of togetherness. This community-oriented approach to music resonates with us on many levels, and to have Sergio provide us with an hour of delicately-picked flavours is an out-and-out privilege <3 [link in bio]

To wrap up the Estudio Niksen x Armable session, Alina & Guthrie from @ferias.mtl guided us through some smooth early-evening sounds, all the way into the murkiest dub. Few, if any, can challenge their diligence as sonic curators —whether behind the decks or shaping the culture, the Ferias crew has become a point of reference for Montreal’s dancefloors. You can listen to the recording of their set on SoundCloud. Link in bio.

It’s difficult to quantify DJ Hidi’s contribution to Montreal’s music & food scenes. As a pillar behind city institutions like @sans_soleil_mtl , @fleurs_cadeaux , and @osmo_x_marusan — as well as more recent ventures like @marcisurlaplaza , DJ Hidi wears many hats, each one a testament to love and dedication for the craft. For the Armable x @estudio.niksen session, Hide-san dropped a heartfelt selection from his love song collection. You can find the full set on the Armable soundcloud. Link in bio.

The first featured set from the Armable x @estudio.niksen session comes from early collaborator and big time homie @raefizm . Whether it’s a night at Sans Soleil or a rave in Longueuil, Raef employs a for-the-heads approach to digging and vibe curation, while always respecting the one rule of the dance: it has to move. This set is no exception, as Raef takes us from house to UKG flavours, while always gravitating towards groove and lower frequencies. Listen to the full set through the link in bio.
