Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This dissertation explores the idea of electronica as a descendent of electronic dance music, which, although embodying many related aesthetic qualities, operates within a different set of musical values. This needs to be understood in the context of how dance music's character, form and modes of performance relate to its specific cultural function. Repetitive beats (as espoused by house and techno in particular) comprise part of the cultural experience of rave. In combination with drug technologies and an ethos of collectivity, rave encapsulates a set of political phenomena that are entrenched within the formal and textural priorities of dance music. I discuss how modes of reception are affected by changes in these priorities, and to what extent post-dance music neglects the physicality that defines the political dimension of dance music's relationship to the body.

Zboray, Department of Communication ii Copyright © by Carleton S. Gholz 2011 iii “WHERE THE MIX IS PERFECT”: VOICES FROM THE POST-MOTOWN SOUNDSCAPE Carleton S. Gholz, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2011 In recent years, the city of Detroit’s economic struggles, including its cultural expressions, have become focal points for discussing the health of the American dream. However, this discussion has rarely strayed from the use of hackneyed factory metaphors, worn-out success-and-failure stories, and an ever-narrowing cast of characters. The result is that the common sense understanding of Detroit’s musical and cultural legacy tends to end in 1972 with the departure of Motown Records from the city to Los Angeles, if not even earlier in the aftermath of the riot / uprising of 1967. In “‘Where The Mix Is Perfect’: Voices From The Post-Motown Soundscape,” I provide an oral history of Detroit’s post-Motown aural history and in the process make available a new urban imaginary for judging the city’s wellbeing.

Introduction There are many beginnings to the history of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). It would be a mistake to exclude the impact that disco had upon house, techno, acid house, and dance music in general. While disco evolved mostly in the dance capital of America (New York), it proposed the idea that danceable songs could be mixed smoothly together, allowing for long term dancing to previously recorded music. Prior to the disco era, nightlife dancing was restricted to bands or jukeboxes, which limited variety and options of songs and genres. The selections of the DJs mattered more than their technical excellence at mixing.

  • House Music: How the Pop Industry Excused Itself from One of the Most Important Musical Movements of the 20Th Century
    House Music: How the Pop Industry Excused Itself From One Of The Most Important Musical Movements of The 20th Century By Brian Lindgren MUSC 7662X - The History of Popular Music and Technology Spring 2020 18 May 2020 © Copyright 2020 Brian Lindgren Abstract In the words of house music legend Frankie Knuckles, house music was disco's revenge. What did he mean by that? In many important ways, house music continued where it left off when it was dramatically cast from American society in the now infamous Disco Demolition Night of July 1979. Riding on the wave of many important social upheavals of the 1960s, disco laid a few important foundations for dance music as we know it today. It also challenged the pop industry power-structure by creating new avenues for music to top the Billboard charts. However, in the final analysis the popularity of disco became its undoing. House music continued to ride on a few of the important waves of disco. The longstanding success of house, however, was in a new development: the independent artist/producer. Young people who began to experiment with early consumer electronic instruments were responsible for creating this new genre of music. This new and exciting sound took hold in Chicago, Detroit and the UK before spreading around the world as the sound we know today as house music. 1 Thirty eight years after the term "House Music" was coined in 1982, the genre has incontestably become a global musical and cultural phenomenon. Few genres in music history can claim this kind of influence.

  • Bosconi Records Label Night
    Deep’art presents : Bosconi Records label night Deep'art always keeps eyes open for qualitative concepts abroad that match the spirit and sound of the agency. We are therefore very proud to present you today a label night by Bosconi Records, a label that stands out as one of the most creative and productive electronic music labels to emerge from the Italian scene in the last decade. With their roots in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Bosconi Records stands proud as a shining example of creativity and craftsmanship in the Italian music scene. With a back catalogue rich in hand- crafted house music, unique downtempo beats and all the moods in between, the label has worked tirelessly to bring pride back to Italy’s music output. The label is ran and owned by DJ Fabio della Torre (aka Corcos) with the collaboration of Ennio Colaci, with whom he produces the project Minimono. Founded in 2008, it today counts about 80 releases across its three labels: Bosconi, Bosconi Extra Virgin and Bosconi Squirts (https://www.discogs.com/label/130770-Bosconi-Records). All of the label’s releases are distributed on vinyl. Bosconi has launched or contributed to the artistic path of many Italian talents such as Rufus, Mass Prod, Dukwa and Herva (as well as their alias, Life’s Track), Nas1, Riccio, The Clover, DJ Rou, The Mechanical Man and many others. Consistently searching for new and exciting artists, it’s no surprise that the label has emerged as one of its country’s best. From an international perspective, Fabio has also carried out collaborations with established artists such as A Guy Called Gerald, Paul Johnson, Scott Grooves, 100Hz, Rei Loci, Andres, The Oliverwho Factory, San Proper, Rondenion, Altered Natives, Phil Weeks, Bruno Pronsato, Ricardo Miranda, The Revenge, DJ Sneak and more.

During the 1980s three revolutions took hold of popular music: the emergence of disc-jockeys as a creative force (in particular in techno music), the advent of hip-hop (and therefore of the "rapper"), and the marriage of industrial music, heavy metal and hardcore (generically associated with the "cyber-punk" culture). Rap-music 1979-87 TM, ®, Copyright © 2005 Piero Scaruffi All rights reserved. The idea of rapping was imported into New York by the Jamaican immigrants, who were already familiar with "toasting" (a reggae artist talking in rhyme over the instrumental sections of a record). Some of them became disc-jockeys ("dj") that traveled around New York carrying their "sound system" to perform at block parties. In 1975 in the Bronx of New York, one of them, Clive "Hercules" Campbell, or "Kool Herc", started making music with two turntables out of breakbeats (the instrumental breaks of a song that focused on the rhythm section, the favorite part of the song for most dancers), while another young black man of the Bronx, Theodore "Grand Wizard" Livingstone was accidentally discovering the "skratching" sound of a turntable.
