EDGE Dallas

Founded in 1993 on the principles of diversity, solidarity, and openness, Divers/Cité is one of the most beloved of Montreal’s forty annual festivals, a multi-day LGBT music and arts festival with more than fifty hours of free music and performance.

You can go to iTunes, YouTube or read a book find out the history of recent dance music. Or you can to Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village on Sunday, Feb. 19, to hear 3 of our greatest DJs explain it in music while you’re dancing your tail off.

As the locals like to joke, Montreal is a city of two seasons: festivals - and winter. Fortunately, the city hosts more than forty annual festivals, including Divers/Cite, the weeklong summer music festival - and Black & Blue, now celebrating 21 years.

The latest DJ profile is on sexy DJ Scotty Thomson who is taking house music to new levels. The former Limelight resident DJ is making a new home for himself at Utopia on Friday nights.

Gregarious and charismatic, Frankie Knuckles’ new disc "Motivation Too," from Nervous Records, will have you throwing up our arms, dancing, and believing.
