Friday 21St February - Monday 24Th February 2020 5* Holiday Resort Status Friday 21st February - Monday 24th February 2020 Welcome to SWISH 2020! If this is your very first time experiencing this particular weekender, we wish you a very warm welcome and we hope that you thoroughly enjoy the Swish experience. For those of you returning, we thank you for your continued support. We could not run such a great event without you. During this Escape weekend, we will be offering you over 30 varied dance workshops together with a number of diverse sporting activities including the Segway Challenge, Giant Swing, Kurling, Rock Climbing Wall, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Archery and the Ultimate Game of Volleyball, to name just a few. New for this year is the ‘Ten Pin Bowling Party’ and the ‘Ballroom and Latin Freestyle’ both taking place on Sunday. The Potters Theatre Company have prepared a selection of top quality shows to entertain you after dinner each evening. Freestyle will kick off from 10.00pm continuing until the early hours of the morning. If this wasn’t enough and to keep you dancing all night, there will be a midnight snack available too. Saturday night will be a smart dress evening, starting from 5.45pm with the BIG 100 Years Potters Celebration Bucks Fizz Party. Please take a moment to read this programme to ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the activities. On behalf of Ceroc and Potters Resort we welcome you to Swish and we hope that you have a fantastic weekend.

Useful Information Swish DVD 2020 It’s impossible to attend all the classes this weekend and how can you remember everything you learn? Well we have the solution!!! We are producing the official Swish DVD which contains the classes from the weekend. The DVD will be available to purchase from Sunday morning at 10.00am from the Ceroc Information Desk at the special discounted rate of £20 (usually £25+p&p online). There is limited availability so grab your copy before they sell out and take it home with you! Please note: Ladies Styling, SILC Foundation and Progressive aren’t included. Fixed Couples In Classes We completely understand why some couples would wish to dance in classes together. Classes involving lots of drops and/or aerials are perfect to do with a fixed partner, however, Ceroc is built upon a social foundation and we are a community where everyone helps everybody else. Moving around in a class ultimately helps you become a better dancer whether you are leading or following and therefore we would like to kindly request that wherever possible you join in with the main class (rather than remaining fixed) so that everyone has a better Swish experience. We thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation. Nu-Line Dance Over the past six years Ceroc has featured a line dance which is danced at every single weekender up and down the country and several freestyles. We are always lucky here at Swish being the first weekender to get to learn the new dance. So please don’t forget to come and join Becki on Friday evening in the theatre at 5.45pm to learn this year’s new Nu-line!

He will be teaching this weekend with his beautiful partner Tash.

    "Disco Madness: Walter Gibbons and the Legacy of Turntablism and Remixology" Tim Lawrence Journal of Popular Music Studies, 20, 3, 2008, 276-329 This story begins with a skinny white DJ mixing between the breaks of obscure Motown records with the ambidextrous intensity of an octopus on speed. It closes with the same man, debilitated and virtually blind, fumbling for gospel records as he spins up eternal hope in a fading dusk. In between Walter Gibbons worked as a cutting-edge discotheque DJ and remixer who, thanks to his pioneering reel-to-reel edits and contribution to the development of the twelve-inch single, revealed the immanent synergy that ran between the dance floor, the DJ booth and the recording studio. Gibbons started to mix between the breaks of disco and funk records around the same time DJ Kool Herc began to test the technique in the Bronx, and the disco spinner was as technically precise as Grandmaster Flash, even if the spinners directed their deft handiwork to differing ends. It would make sense, then, for Gibbons to be considered alongside these and other towering figures in the pantheon of turntablism, but he died in virtual anonymity in 1994, and his groundbreaking contribution to the intersecting arts of DJing and remixology has yet to register beyond disco aficionados.1 There is nothing mysterious about Gibbons's low profile. First, he operated in a culture that has been ridiculed and reviled since the "disco sucks" backlash peaked with the symbolic detonation of 40,000 disco records in the summer of 1979.

  • Leksykon Polskiej I Światowej Muzyki Elektronicznej
    Piotr Mulawka Leksykon polskiej i światowej muzyki elektronicznej „Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego-Kultura w sieci” Wydawca: Piotr Mulawka [email protected] © 2020 Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone ISBN 978-83-943331-4-0 2 Przedmowa Muzyka elektroniczna narodziła się w latach 50-tych XX wieku, a do jej powstania przyczyniły się zdobycze techniki z końca XIX wieku m.in. telefon- pierwsze urządzenie służące do przesyłania dźwięków na odległość (Aleksander Graham Bell), fonograf- pierwsze urządzenie zapisujące dźwięk (Thomas Alv Edison 1877), gramofon (Emile Berliner 1887). Jak podają źródła, w 1948 roku francuski badacz, kompozytor, akustyk Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) nagrał za pomocą mikrofonu dźwięki naturalne m.in. (śpiew ptaków, hałas uliczny, rozmowy) i próbował je przekształcać. Tak powstała muzyka nazwana konkretną (fr. musigue concrete). W tym samym roku wyemitował w radiu „Koncert szumów”. Jego najważniejszą kompozycją okazał się utwór pt. „Symphonie pour un homme seul” z 1950 roku. W kolejnych latach muzykę konkretną łączono z muzyką tradycyjną. Oto pionierzy tego eksperymentu: John Cage i Yannis Xenakis. Muzyka konkretna pojawiła się w kompozycji Rogera Watersa. Utwór ten trafił na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu „The Body” (1970). Grupa Beaver and Krause wprowadziła muzykę konkretną do utworu „Walking Green Algae Blues” z albumu „In A Wild Sanctuary” (1970), a zespół Pink Floyd w „Animals” (1977). Pierwsze próby tworzenia muzyki elektronicznej miały miejsce w Darmstadt (w Niemczech) na Międzynarodowych Kursach Nowej Muzyki w 1950 roku. W 1951 roku powstało pierwsze studio muzyki elektronicznej przy Rozgłośni Radia Zachodnioniemieckiego w Kolonii (NWDR- Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk). Tu tworzyli: H. Eimert (Glockenspiel 1953), K. Stockhausen (Elektronische Studie I, II-1951-1954), H.

    Reviews Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor 1980–1983 Tim Lawrence Durham: Duke University Press, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-8223-6202-9 RRP: US$27.95 <http://dx.doi.org/10.12801/1947-5403.2016.08.01.05> Charles de Ledesma University of East London, UK Cultural historian Tim Lawrence’s first book Love Saves the Day adopted a chronological approach to East Coast disco’s dramatic arc through the 1970s. Then his follow-up Hold On to Your Dreams widened the timeline, honing in on a valuable contributor to New York’s downtown music scene—cellist and composer Arthur Russell. While LStD ranged widely across many spaces, DJs, artists, assorted characters and issues, the Russell biography was an intimate portrait of a key player, who died from AIDS-related complications in 1992. Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor 1980–1983 (henceforth Life and Death) is the third segment in Lawrence’s New York project. Now he narrows the timeline and brings a forensic examination to just four years in the party scene. On the title, Lawrence explains, “the reference to life is intended to evoke the way that New York party culture didn’t merely survive the hyped death of disco but positively flourished in its wake”. And he clearly and convincingly argues that the short period was one characterised by a stirring artistic ferment, across music, art, dance and club space innovation. Lawrence explains: “instead of depicting the 1980–1983 period as a mere bridge that connected the big genre stories of 1970s disco and 1980s house and techno, I submitted to its kaleidoscope logic, took my foot off the historical metronome, and decided to take it—the book—to the bridge” (ix).
