Edition 6 Press Release DREAM THE END ANNOUNCES MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE THE RAPTURE’S “IN THE GRACE OF YOUR LOVE” AND EDITION 6 THE MUSIC EDITION WITH GUEST EDITOR JONATHAN GALKIN FEBRUARY 14, 2012 - DREAM THE END is excited to announce the music video premiere for “In The Grace of Your Love” the title track from The RAPTURE’s new album. Inspired by 1960’s French films and James Turrell light spaces, the shoot took place in a Chelsea studio with Creative Director Melissa Jones and her partner Markus Griesshammer behind the camera. The video for “In The Grace of Your Love” will premiere at an intimate event at Rose Bar at The Gramercy Park Hotel on Valentine’s Day night, followed by a special live performance from the band. The video will launch online exclusively on DreamTheEnd.com February 14 at 10:30 p.m. EST. “We created Dream The End to be a platform for art, music, and words to be enjoyed harmoniously in one space online. The RAPTURE video project was the perfect fit for our first production. We are excited to collaborate with Rose Bar at The Gramercy Park Hotel for the video premiere, its extensive modern art collection and exclusive live music sessions made it the perfect venue for the launch of our collaboration,” says Melissa Jones, Creative Director for Dream The End / DTE Studio. The RAPTURE mixes influences from post-punk, acid house, disco, and electronica. The band is known for pioneering the post-punk revival in the early 2000’s and incorporating dance and electronic elements into their sound. Previous albums include Echoes (2003) and Pieces of the People We Love (2006). Their latest album, In The Grace of Your Love, was released on DFA Records in September 2011. In honor of the launch of The RAPTURE’s video on DreamTheEnd.com, Edition 6 will be a special, all-music edition guest-edited by Jonathan Galkin, label manager of DFA Records. Galkin co-founded DFA Records in 2001 with James Murphy & Tim Goldsworthy. DFA Records has become the creative laboratory for numerous cutting-edge artists including The Rapture, Hercules & Love Affair, Holy Ghost!, YACHT, Hot Chip and The Juan Maclean, and Murphy’s own now-retired band LCD Soundsystem. For EDITION 6, Galkin curated 50 tracks that represent the kind of music played at the DFA offices, “titles that are obscure, exciting and very unexpected” says Galkin. The “loverz rock” mixtape featured on the front page was also created by Galkin especially for Valentine’s Day. EDITION 6 goes live on DreamTheEnd.com February 14th at 10:30pm EST.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • 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.

In addition to this document being a thesis, this is a journal, and an open access archive, and a toolkit. I have written this thesis keeping in mind a not-too-long-ago moment in time when I was working as a dancer and felt a desperation for the lack of tools and know-how to work with people in a way that is socially sustainable. Thus, this thesis works partly with questions that span much longer temporalities than the frame of these MA studies. I open the thesis with the question I seem to have embraced the longest in my life: what is it to be good to one another? Thus, my intention is to indicate how artistic questions are embedded in life.

  • Can We Have Some Mo' Wax Please!
    Can We Have Some Mo’ Wax Please! Bittles‘ Magazine | Mo’Wax Records While browsing in my local book shop the other day I came across the recently published ›Mo’Wax Urban Archaeology: 21 Years of Mo’Wax Recordings‹. A mighty tome of a book, it chronicles the life and times of this beloved label, through meticulous design, a lot of love and some beautiful artwork. For former beatheads like myself it is a wonderful read, and quickly makes you nostalgic for the plethora of great songs they released over the years. By JOHN BITTLES So enamoured was I in fact that upon getting home I immediately spent a rather pleasant evening tracking down my old records, and then re-enveloping myself in the smoke filled world of ›Mo’ Wax‹ . The book chronicles a time in the middle of the 1990s when a strange, yet wonderful thing began to happen. The furious bleeps of rave, techno and drum & bass that had dominated the nation’s dancefloors began to give way to something a little more subtle and sedate. Labels like ›Ninja Tune, Pussyfoot and Mo’ Wax‹ began to release records of jazzy interludes and laid back beats. And these tunes weren’t for dancing! No, they were for nodding your head to, playing on headphones, or for lying down on the settee smoking a big, fat spliff. Mo’ Wax Please‹ , to give the label its full name, was founded in 1992 by James Lavelle and Tim Goldsworthy (who later went on to form ›DFA Records‹ with James Murphy, fact fans). Within two short years the label would become synonymous with the, hastily coined, trip hop sound that was taking over the nation’s hearts, clubs and bars.

The "electroclash" movement was basically a revival of the dance-punk style of the new wave. It was New York dj Lawrence "Larry Tee" who coined the term, and the first Electroclash Festival was held in that city in 2001. However, the movement had its origins on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. One could argue that electroclash was born with Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass (1997), released by Belgian dj Ferenc van der Sluijs under the moniker I-f. At about the same time German house dj Helmut-Josef "DJ Hell" Geier was promoting a scene in Berlin that was basically electroclash. Another forerunner was French dj Caroline "Miss Kittin" Herve', who had recorded the EP Champagne (1998), a collaboration with Michael "The Hacker" Amato that included the pioneering hit 1982. The duo joined the fad that they had pioneered with First Album (2001). Britain was first exposed to electroclash when Liverpool's Ladytron released He Took Her To A Movie (1999), that was basically a cover of Kraftwerk's The Model. Next came Liverpool's Robots In Disguise with the EP Mix Up Words and Sounds (2000).
