  • Yellow Skin, White Masks Mina Yang
    Yellow Skin, White Masks Mina Yang Abstract: Ethnic studies scholars have long bemoaned the near absence of Asians on the big and small screens and popular music charts in the United States, rendering them as outsiders vis-à-vis the American public sphere. In the last few years, however, Asians have sprung up on shows like “Glee” and “America’s Best Dance Crew” in disproportionately large numbers, challenging entrenched stereotypes and creating new audiovisual associations with Asianness. This essay considers how emerging Asian American hip- Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/daed/article-pdf/142/4/24/1831582/daed_a_00232.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 hop dancers and musicians negotiate their self-representation in different contexts and what their strate- gies reveal about the postmillennial Asian youth’s relationship to American and transpaci½c culture and the outer limits of American music.

The show featured synchronized dancing, comic miming, athletic feats, extravagant lighting effects, and glittery costumes, held together by a thumping soundtrack made up of familiar tunes, old and new.

In case of abuse or copyright appearing without permission e-mail [email protected] Darkcore: dub’s dark legacy in drum ‘n’ bass culture Chris Christodoulou, London South Bank University, London The popular use of the terms “dark” and “darkness” in bass-oriented electronic dance music (EDM) styles, such as grime, dubstep and jungle/drum ‘n’ bass, points to the recontextualisation of the racial category of blackness on the one hand and the dark uncanniness of post-industrial urban space on the other. Acknowledging the influence of dub on a continuum of bass-oriented EDM styles in the UK, I focus on drum ‘n’ bass to show how “dark” discourses within the dub diaspora can be defined as a critical response, firstly, to the ethnocentric demonisation of blackness as the post-colonial Other of modernity, and secondly, to the destructive conditions created by the political economy of the contemporary city where rapidly changing relationships between class, gender and technology determine access to wealth and social prosperity1.

  • Justin Bieber Gästar Far East Movements Nya Singel
    2012-02-27 13:16 CET Justin Bieber gästar Far East Movements nya singel. Av Gustaf Angelin Efter succén med albumet ”Free Wired” och låtarna ”Like A G6” och ”Rocketeer” är Far East Movement tillbaka. Gruppen skruvar nu upp temperaturen inför kommande albumet ”Dirty Bass” med att imorgon släppa förstasingeln ”Live My Life” på iTunes. Electro hop-kvartetten har här fått celebert besök av Justin Bieber vars smäktande stämma hörs i refrängen. “We’re thrilled to have Justin be a part of Dirty Bass, säger Kev Nish. FM has always focused on unexpected collaborations and mashing up musical genres which keeps making music exciting. ‘Live My Life,’ is a song we think both FM and Bieber fans will enjoy together.”– Kev Nish Den Red One-producerade singeln backas även upp av en Party Rock-remix gästad av Redfoo från LMFAO. ”Dirty Bass”, som släpps senare i vår, innehåller utöver detta samarbeten med namn som Bangladesh, Dallas Austin and Cherry Cherry Boom Boom. Arbetet med albumet påbörjades under I Am Music-turnen med Lil Wayne förra sommaren och kommer färdigställas under den pågående Cherrytree Pop Alternative-turnen med ovan nämnda LMFAO. "We've been performing the “Live My Life” Party Rock remix with Redfoo on the Cherrytree Pop Alternative tour and the reaction has been met with hands in the air and hype energy. We’re looking forward to the song at radio and everybody partying wherever they’re listening.”– Prohgress Se gruppens egna ord om nya singeln här: Universal Music är Sveriges och världens ledande musikbolag med representation i hela 71 länder.

    Sounding Dark ICA Panel, 9th September 2016 Darkcore: dub’s dark legacy in Drum ‘n’ Bass Culture Key Themes ü Drum ‘n’ Bass Darkness ü Dark Otherness ü Dark Futures Talk based on: Christodoulou, Chris (2015) ‘Darkcore: Dub’s Dark Legacy in Drum ‘n’ Bass Culture’, (Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture, Echoes from the Dub Diaspora, (2015, 7(2)). Drum ‘n’ Bass Darkness Discourses of darkness within jungle/ drum ‘n’ bass culture provide an affirmative critical response to: • The demonisation of blackness as the post-colonial Other of modernity; • the difficult conditions created by the political economy of the contemporary city where rapidly changing relationships between class, gender and technology determine access to wealth and social prosperity. Drum ‘n’ Bass Darkness • Jungle, or ‘jungle-techno’, developed during 1992 as the main soundtrack to London’s inner city rave scene. • Jungle/drum ‘n’ bass: a mainly instrumental genre, based on a combination of powerful bass sounds and hip-hop-style break- beats (‘breaks’) that are either synthesised or digitally sampled from existing sources (funk records; sample packs, etc.); • Breaks looped (repeated) and accelerated to around 174 BPM – around twice the speed of dub tracks. Drum ‘n’ Bass Darkness Jungle’s mainstream popularity peaked in the mid-1990s; Maintains a continued presence as part of global EDM culture in the 2010s, and in the pop charts in radio-friendly form; Its formation can be considered a postcolonial response to the deleterious social effects of globalisation

  • What to Listen To, If You're Too Intelligent for Jay-Z
    What to listen to, if you’re too intelligent for Jay-Z Bittles‘ Magazine Those fallow months of June and July have, over time, become notorious for their lack of key musical releases. It seems that with the onset of the holiday and festival season, record companies are wary of the fact that most people are saving up for overpriced drinks in Ibiza or a muddy field. In light of this most artists seem content to hold their albums back until late August or September in the knowledge that by then we’ll all be sunburnt and craving new sounds. For the music lover though it can make finding new releases during this time a futile and exasperating experience. For example new albums by Jay-Z, Robin Thicke, and Editors are massive right now even though they have the musical merit of a disgruntled toad. There are some gems out there to be found though, for instance… By JOHN BITTLES First up comes some glorious house action from the hot as me Gran Maya Jane Coles whose debut album Comfort has been thoroughly rocking my sad little world. Made up of twelve lush and mostly down-tempo tracks that heavily feature Maya’s own soft vocals, this is not the bass heavy garage influenced release that would be guaranteed to send her career into the stratosphere. What it is though is a collection of stunningly produced tracks that make for a superior listening experience. Lead single Easier to Hide stands out with its gorgeously deep groove as does Wait For You with the enigma that is Tricky on vocals.
