In hopes of creating movement that extends past the dance floor, local DJ Mollyfi and her gang of talented peers are bringing another rad party night to this year’s Pride festival.

The long running Girls on Decks collective is bringing True Colors: THE MOVEMENT to the dancefloors of The Nite Owl on Friday September 2^nd, and if their past events are any indication, it’s going to be a blast.

But more than just a fun party night, Mollyfi wants to create a movement not only in dance, but in the LGBTQ community and the culture with its ‘all-inclusive’ tag.

"No, the drinks aren't free; in this case ‘all-inclusive’ means it’s for everybody, as we are offering a safe space for anyone no matter how they identify.  We don't judge, we don't stare, we don't do anything but laugh, dance, love and make new friends," Mollyfi explains.

"Events like True Colors only work with the support of the community, so all I would say is, if you haven’t had a chance to come down to one of our shows, make it a priority and you will see what we’re talking about. We are only as good as the people attending our events, so come break down borders with us and be a part of THE MOVEMENT."

As a strong advocate for the LGBTQ community, Mollyfi felt compelled to put this party night together for the first time last year, as a way to make sure everyone has a fun and safe place to celebrate with their friends. It was such a hit that they are back at it again.

"I strongly feel that it is our job to ensure there is a great lesbian event planned to show our love and support for Calgary Pride and the community. True Colors have been hosting queer monthly events for a few years now, and pride is the biggest show of the year, so we knew we had to take care of our people again and plan a kick-ass event."

In her words, let Mollyfi tell you what to look forward to this year.

GayCalgary: Tell our readers a bit about your event this year.

MF: We have two floors and a stacked night for our guests, with six DJs including Mollyfi, Blair Van Riesen, Applebaum, DJ Reece and two out of town headliners, which will blow your mind (more on them later). We are also featuring local queer hip hop group LYKAFOX; and burlesque by Daisy DeVille, drag kings, and some of the sexiest and androgynous gogo dancers Calgary has to offer. To top it all off, the night will be hosted by Gay Ally and Girls On Decks’ partner in crime Isis Graham. I am so unbelievably excited for our headliners. People always ask me if I could book anyone for one of our events, who would it be? Well, I’ll tell you, because this year I am throwing this pride party for myself.

The one and only DJ ANNALYZ is an internationally known New York DJ, renowned for her scratching, and captivating the crowd with her high-energy sets. She comes with an impressive resume and holds residencies from New York to Shanghai. She is the reigning queen of hip hop, party rock and turntable trickery, and has been nominated for DJ TIMES "Americas Best DJ" competition. She has been an idol of mine for over 10 years, and I am losing my mind that I will be able to share the stage with her.

If Annalyze isn't enough to make you excited, I also booked Calgary Pride favourite Skylar Love (aka: Lisa Delux) and it wouldn’t be Pride without them tearing it up. Skylar is Vancouver’s top queer DJ and huge advocate for the community. She is such a pleasure to work with and listen to, and they have a style all of their own. Lastly – to round the night out, and my final in the list of favourites – local celebrity DJ Reece. We know her, we love her, and we couldn't have this party without her. Reece has rocked the decks at every major nightclub in Calgary for the last 10 years, and we are honoured to have her be our ally for the night.
