    «Es Gibt Keinen Schwulen Rap» | Norient.Com 7 Oct 2021 18:15:11

    «Es gibt keinen schwulen Rap» | norient.com 7 Oct 2021 18:15:11 «Es gibt keinen schwulen Rap» by Jonathan Fischer Der New Yorker Rapper Khalif Diouf alias Le1f ist schwul und mischt mit Witz und knalligen Videos den Hip-Hop auf. Als Aktivist für LGTB-Rechte sieht sich der Sohn senegalesischer Einwanderer aber nicht – und Musikjournalisten, so empfiehlt er, sollten sich weniger mit seiner sexuellen Identität und mehr mit seinen Songs beschäftigen. Eine bearbeitete Version dieses Artikels erschien im Norient Buch Seismographic Sounds (Info und Bestellmöglichkeit hier). Das Interview fängt nicht gut an. Nachdem der Fotograf den schlaksigen Afroamerikaner darum gebeten hat, doch bitte – «nur für ein paar Bilder» – eine blonde Perücke aufzusetzen, stürmt Khalif Diouf alias Le1f wütend Richtung Ausgang seines Münchner Hotels: «Ich bin ein Rapper und keine https://norient.com/stories/le1f Page 1 of 5 «Es gibt keinen schwulen Rap» | norient.com 7 Oct 2021 18:15:11 Drag-Queen!» Und was er auf dem Kopf trage, solle man bitte sehr seiner eigenen Regie überlassen. Erst das Versprechen, ernsthaft über seine Texte zu reden, holt ihn zurück. Ein paar Fragen später lümmelt Le1f entspannt auf der Couch und lacht über die Aufregung, die seine Person im Showbusiness auslöst: «Warum kommt niemand mal auf die Idee, mich mit Little Richard oder Sylvester in eine Reihe zu stellen? Die waren auch schwul und schwarz. Und sehr erfolgreiche Entertainer.» Dabei teilt der junge New Yorker das Dilemma aller offen schwulen Rapper: Die Medien reduzieren sie nur allzu gern auf ihre Sexualität, messen sie an ihrem Provokationswert für die Hiphop-Welt.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A DEFINING YEAR QMUNITY at Pride Parade Photo credit: QMUNITY A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Over the last 35 years so much has changed. In 1969 we were considered criminals, and pathologized for being queer. In 2014 Laverne Cox, an openly trans, African-American woman, graces the cover of Time Magazine. The world is changing, and our organization continues to change alongside it—yet at our core, the mission remains the same. QMUNITY continues to exist to improve queer and trans lives. QMUNITY Receiving City of Vancouver Award of Excellence for Diversity and Inclusion Diversity for of Excellence Award Vancouver of City Receiving QMUNITY Vancouver of City credit: Photo 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Despite the advancement in legal equalities, many people continue to struggle to come out at school, work, or in the home. We are changing that. By ensuring that every single person has an opportunity to feel safe, included, and free from discrimination, we are translating our legal equalities into lived equalities. We know there is still work to be done. In 2014, we reached over 43,000 people, a 23% increase from 2013. We were able to increase our impact by expanding our full-time staff from 8 people to 11 people. This was in large part to our supporters, who helped us increase our budget by 14.6%. But those are just the numbers. Community happens when we celebrate our seniors at the annual Honouring Our Elders Tea, provide 860 hours of free professional counselling, or by advocating for trans friendly schools at the Vancouver School Board.

    The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna

    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.

    Queer Hip Hop Clips From 8 Countries | norient.com 26 Sep 2021 18:36:37 Queer Hip Hop Clips From 8 Countries by Theresa Beyer Norient flicked through You Tube and collected queer hip hop clips from around the world: Avalanches of images, beats and powerful words from Angola, Argentina, Cuba, Germany, Israel, Serbia, South Africa and USA. Rebellious, ironic and thoughtful hip hop artists raise their voice for a queer consciousness and LGTB rights. At first glance, Hip hop and related genres seem to be heteronormative bubbles. The cliché includes invincible rappers, objectified female bodies, homophobic lyrihttps://norient.com/wp-admin/edit.phpcs, and sexist videos. However, the exceptions to this rule are old as the hip hop culture itself. Oddly enough, just recently feuilletons and music magazines have paid increasing attention to them. This was set in motion in 2012, when Frank Ocean declared that his first love had been a man [see Norient Artikel Gayngster Rap, in German]. This debate didn’t create a new queer hip hop movement, but it did spark a new sensibility and shows: Hip Hop has always been a voice for the oppressed. Umbrella terms like «queer hip hop», «homohop», or «gayngster https://norient.com/video/queer-hip-hop-worldwide Page 1 of 7 Queer Hip Hop Clips From 8 Countries | norient.com 26 Sep 2021 18:36:37 rap» are obviously problematic, because queer hip hop isn’t a homogenous scene or a musical subgenre; neither is it another approach to the hip hop culture. Queer hip hop is part of the hip hop culture and doesn’t need to be labeled «queer».

    University of Nevada, Reno Partying with Hello Kitty: How Electronic Dance Music and Rave Culture Are Transforming, Commercializ

    University of Nevada, Reno Partying with Hello Kitty: How Electronic Dance Music and Rave Culture are transforming, commercializing, and globalizing youth culture in the twenty-first century A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Geoff Scott Dr. Hugh Shapiro/Thesis Advisor May 2014 i Abstract This thesis will demonstrate how electronic dance music (EDM) has evolved from the musical underground during the second half of the twentieth century into the mainstream, commercial powerhouse it is now in the early twenty-first-century world. EDM at its core is a musical style characterized by the use of synthetic, electronic sounds. The combination of technological devices such as drum machines, repetitive bass lines, electronic builds and releases and inorganic noises in tandem with instrumental and vocal samples makes EDM an incredibly malleable style of dance music that has branched into a variety of forms over the course of its less than fifty year existence. Innovations in technology, like the tape reel, the Moog synthesizer, the vinyl mixer and the computer have led to new ways of contemplating and creating music. I argue that the innovative musical voices of late modernism and early postmodernism set the foundation for early EDM, who were not afraid to harness the new synthetic sounds at their disposal. Electronic dance music can trace its roots back to the repetitive, minimalist structures used since the 1960’s by postmodern composers such as Philip Glass and the electronic instrumentation of artists like Terry Riley and John Cage. Owing to its flexibility, EDM has also been re-contextualized in different cultures.
