Under the icy glaze of a Canadian winter, Montreal's dance scene is thriving. At the cultural crossroads of Europe and North America, the city's club life was born from the dust of disco and today lives in and around small communities with impressive reach. "It's a big city, but it's a village," says Montrealer DL Jones.

The rhythm in Subotnick's music revolutionized the disco industry, and his performance at the Electric Circus sparked a movement that, according to Thump Editor-In-Chief, Zel McCarthy, allowed for minorities everywhere to express themselves freely.

DJ Larry Levan declined the invitation, but Frankie Knuckles went out to Chicago and became the godfather of house music.

DJs and promoters now had a way to share music and spread information instantaneously, and they took full advantage.

Note: EDM is just an umbrella term, and not a genre. Okay? Good.
