AESTHETIC POLITICS OF AFFECT AND AUTONOMY In Arundhati Virmani (ed.), Political Aesthetics: Culture, Critique and the Everyday, London, Routledge, 2016, p.71-86. The emergence of techno music – commonly used in France as electronic dance music – in the early 1990s is inseparable from rave parties as a form of spatiotemporal deployment. It signifies that the live diffusion via a sound system powerful enough to diffuse not only its volume but also its sound frequencies spectrum, including infrabass, is an integral part of the techno experience. In other words listening on domestic equipment is not a sufficient condition to experience this music.

  • EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018
    EDM (Dance Music): Disco, Techno, House, Raves… ANTHRO 106 2018 Rebellion, genre, drugs, freedom, unity, sex, technology, place, community …………………. Disco • Disco marked the dawn of dance-based popular music. • Growing out of the increasingly groove-oriented sound of early '70s and funk, disco emphasized the beat above anything else, even the singer and the song. • Disco was named after discotheques, clubs that played nothing but music for dancing. • Most of the discotheques were gay clubs in New York • The seventies witnessed the flowering of gay clubbing, especially in New York. For the gay community in this decade, clubbing became 'a religion, a release, a way of life'. The camp, glam impulses behind the upsurge in gay clubbing influenced the image of disco in the mid-Seventies so much that it was often perceived as the preserve of three constituencies - blacks, gays and working-class women - all of whom were even less well represented in the upper echelons of rock criticism than they were in society at large. • Before the word disco existed, the phrase discotheque records was used to denote music played in New York private rent or after hours parties like the Loft and Better Days. The records played there were a mixture of funk, soul and European imports. These "proto disco" records are the same kind of records that were played by Kool Herc on the early hip hop scene. - STARS and CLUBS • Larry Levan was the first DJ-star and stands at the crossroads of disco, house and garage. He was the legendary DJ who for more than 10 years held court at the New York night club Paradise Garage.

  • Chiptuning Intellectual Property: Digital Culture Between Creative Commons and Moral Economy
    Chiptuning Intellectual Property: Digital Culture Between Creative Commons and Moral Economy Martin J. Zeilinger York University, Canada [email protected] Abstract This essay considers how chipmusic, a fairly recent form of alternative electronic music, deals with the impact of contemporary intellectual property regimes on creative practices. I survey chipmusicians’ reusing of technology and content invoking the era of 8-bit video games, and highlight points of contention between critical perspectives embodied in this art form and intellectual property policy. Exploring current chipmusic dissemination strategies, I contrast the art form’s links to appropriation-based creative techniques and the ‘demoscene’ amateur hacking culture of the 1980s with the chiptune community’s currently prevailing reliance on Creative Commons licenses for regulating access. Questioning whether consideration of this alternative licensing scheme can adequately describe shared cultural norms and values that motivate chiptune practices, I conclude by offering the concept of a moral economy of appropriation-based creative techniques as a new framework for understanding digital creative practices that resist conventional intellectual property policy both in form and in content. Keywords: Chipmusic, Creative Commons, Moral Economy, Intellectual Property, Demoscene Introduction The chipmusic community, like many other born-digital creative communities, has a rich tradition of embracing and encouraged open access, collaboration, and sharing. It does not like to operate according to the logic of informational capital and the restrictive enclosure movements this logic engenders. The creation of chipmusic, a form of electronic music based on the repurposing of outdated sound chip technology found in video gaming devices and old home computers, centrally involves the reworking of proprietary cultural materials.

  • The Aesthetics of Acid
    The Aesthetics Of Acid by Rick Bull Since the technological paranoia of the cold-war era, and the ensuing political and social consequences of the military technological boom, the development of electronic musics and proliferation of technologies through the 1970’s to the 90’s has seen the amalgamation of a multitude of cultural music ‘systems’- the formation of a universal and hybridised(ing) ‘pop aesthetic’1. In the West at least, the employment of electronic music technology has largely been used to reinforce the ‘classificatory arrangements’2 of the anglo-saxon listening ear - those classical tonal / structural orders criticised by the likes of Webern, Schoenberg and Boulez3......Towards the end of the 1980’s however, the popular appropriation of available technologies was challenged greatly by groups of experimentalists from Detroit, Chicago and Frankfurt - leaders of the ‘acid house’ explosion of the late 80’s, whose musics’ roots greatly shaped the aesthetic of today’s diversified ‘techno’ music genre. Much could be discussed in regards to history and subsequent sterilisation / diversification of such music, yet this essay seeks to focus primarily upon the change in cultural ‘hearing’ that could be suggested has occurred in the late 20th century; reflected and catalysed by the appropriators of frequently ‘obsolete’ musical technologies. I suggest, that through the popularised use of sampling and analogue tone production, and overall shift in the electro- pop listening aesthetic can be observed; ie. that from high to frequently ‘low’ tone fidelity - from a transparent to ‘opaque’ technological ethic, from a melodic / harmonic to largely modal and heavily rhythm based ideal.

  • Beatport Launches New Melodic House & Techno Genre Category
    BEATPORT LAUNCHES NEW MELODIC HOUSE & TECHNO GENRE CATEGORY BERLIN, DE - MARCH 20, 2018 - Reflecting one of the dominant sounds on global dancefloors, BEATPORT, a division of LiveStyle, today announced the addition of its new Melodic House & ​ ​ ​ ​ Techno genre. ​ In 2018, Beatport's House and Techno charts are swelling with a style frequently heard in the sets of scene-leading DJs like Dixon, Tale Of Us and Solomun. It's a heady, melodic, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ arpeggiator-heavy sound that's both brooding and built for clubs. With artists including Stephan ​ Bodzin, Patrice Bäumel, Oliver Koletzki, Mind Against, Matador, Finnebassen and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Bedouin leading the charge, this strain of house and techno is thriving on labels like Afterlife, ​ ​ Diynamic, Innervisions and Stil Vor Talent. ​ ​ ​ Previously, this content has been dispersed amongst Beatport's Techno, Deep House, Tech ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ House and Electronica genres, making it increasingly difficult to know where to find the most ​ up-to-date releases in this style. Our dedicated team will now curate the best Melodic House & Techno tracks each week in one place, with regularly rotating content from the labels and artists at the forefront of the melodic takeover. "While Beatport's main House and Techno categories represent the biggest floor-filling tracks across the genres, Melodic House & Techno brings together a thriving sound that has not been easy to categorise as the lines blur between sounds and styles,” commented Beatport Label & ​ Artist Relations Director, Jack Bridges. ​ "Combining genres in this way under a new specialised category follows the successful launch of Leftfield House & Techno on the store in 2017, which caters for the underground DJ while ​ recognising that blurring of genre lines.

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.
