In the words of the old Motown classic, summer’s here and the time is right for dancing in the street. Electronic Dance Music, or EDM, cranks things up a notch at some of our favorite local hot spots here in Houston: Stereo Live, Clé, Spire, The Flat, South Beach, Pistolero’s on Sundays, Lumen Lounge and Set Houston.
