Queer History of Dance Music is a boundary-pushing, research-driven collective and multimedia project dedicated to illuminating the pivotal role LGBTQ+ communities have played in shaping global dance music culture. Founded by interdisciplinary artists and DJs committed to uplifting queer narratives, Queer History of Dance Music explores the intersections of identity, resistance, and celebration on the dance floor, weaving together archival research, first-person storytelling, and immersive sound experiences. Their thought-provoking performances and audio-visual installations have captivated audiences at venues ranging from underground clubs to major international festivals.

Drawing on influences that span disco, house, techno, and ballroom, the project foregrounds overlooked innovators and chronicles dance music’s power as a site of liberation, community, and joy. Committed to education as well as entertainment, Queer History of Dance Music collaborates with cultural institutions, runs workshops, and curates sonic journeys that inspire audiences to reconsider the beats that have defined generations.
