Throughout history, queer people have both lost - and found - themselves on the dance floor. OUTRAVE explores the connections between 2SLGBTQ+ people and electronic music, from the origins of house to today's massive global rave culture. In the pilot episode of OUTRAVE, host Denise Benson - DJ, author, and music historian - speaks with queer pioneers and contemporary shining stars of Toronto's vibrant rave scene. Chippy Nonstop, Karim Olen Ash, Cozmic Cat, Aeryn Pfaff, James St. Bass, Deko-ze, and DJ Chiclet share their takes on the significance of social space and the magic of queer and trans creativity. We're here, we're queer, we're creating our own parties. All while adding glitter and good to the broader rave culture.

Less a documentary than a primer on all electronic music. Featuring interviews with nearly every major player past and present, as well as a few energetic live clips, Modulations delves into one of electronica's forgotten facets: the human element. Lee travels the globe from the American Midwest to Europe to Japan to try to express the appeal of music often dismissed as soulless. Modulations shows that behind even the most foreign or alien electronic composition lies a real human being, and Lee lets many of these Frankenstein-like creators express and expound upon their personal philosophies and tech-heavy theories. Lee understands that a cultural movement as massive and diverse as dance music can't be contained.

Documentary about the hard working DJs and producers who have brought electronic dance music to the forefront of nightlife around the world. Featuring over 35 world class artists from Derrick Carter to Paul Van Dyk.
