Turntablism refers to the use of turntables as musical instruments, essentially to alter and manipulate the sound of recorded music. Audio art refers to the arrangement of excerpts of musical selections, fragments of recorded speech, and ‘found sounds’ in unusual and original ways. The following paper outlines past and current difficulties in regulating these newer genres of music. It reports on an examination of programs from 22 community and campus stations across Canada. Given the abstract, experimental, and diverse nature of these programs, it may be difficult to incorporate them into the CRTC’s current music categories and the current MAPL system for Canadian Content. Nonetheless, turntablism and audio art reflect the diversity of Canada’s artistic community.

  • Cue Point Aesthetics: the Performing Disc Jockey In
    CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE By Benjamin De Ocampo Andres A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology Committee Membership Dr. Jennifer Eichstedt, Committee Chair Dr. Renee Byrd, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Graduate Coordinator May 2016 ABSTRACT CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE Benjamin De Ocampo Andres This qualitative research explores how social relations and intersections of popular culture, technology, and gender present in performance DJing. The methods used were interviews with performing disc jockeys, observations at various bars, and live music venues. Interviews include both women and men from varying ages and racial/ethnic groups. Cultural studies/popular culture approaches are utilized as the theoretical framework, with the aid of concepts including resistance, hegemony, power, and subcultures. Results show difference of DJ preference between analog and digital formats. Gender differences are evident in performing DJ's experiences on and off the field due to patriarchy in the DJ scene. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and Foremost, I would like to thank my parents and immediate family for their unconditional support and love. You guys have always come through in a jam and given up a lot for me, big up. To "the fams" in Humboldt, you know who you are, thank you so much for holding me down when the time came to move to Arcata, and for being brothers from other mothers. A shout out to Burke Zen for all the jokes cracked, and cigarettes smoked, at "Chinatown." You help get me through this and I would have lost it along time ago.

  • Outsiders' Music: Progressive Country, Reggae
    CHAPTER TWELVE: OUTSIDERS’ MUSIC: PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY, REGGAE, SALSA, PUNK, FUNK, AND RAP, 1970s Chapter Outline I. The Outlaws: Progressive Country Music A. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, mainstream country music was dominated by: 1. the slick Nashville sound, 2. hardcore country (Merle Haggard), and 3. blends of country and pop promoted on AM radio. B. A new generation of country artists was embracing music and attitudes that grew out of the 1960s counterculture; this movement was called progressive country. 1. Inspired by honky-tonk and rockabilly mix of Bakersfield country music, singer-songwriters (Bob Dylan), and country rock (Gram Parsons) 2. Progressive country performers wrote songs that were more intellectual and liberal in outlook than their contemporaries’ songs. 3. Artists were more concerned with testing the limits of the country music tradition than with scoring hits. 4. The movement’s key artists included CHAPTER TWELVE: OUTSIDERS’ MUSIC: PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY, REGGAE, SALSA, PUNK, FUNK, AND RAP, 1970s a) Willie Nelson, b) Kris Kristopherson, c) Tom T. Hall, and d) Townes Van Zandt. 5. These artists were not polished singers by conventional standards, but they wrote distinctive, individualist songs and had compelling voices. 6. They developed a cult following, and progressive country began to inch its way into the mainstream (usually in the form of cover versions). a) “Harper Valley PTA” (1) Original by Tom T. Hall (2) Cover version by Jeannie C. Riley; Number One pop and country (1968) b) “Help Me Make It through the Night” (1) Original by Kris Kristofferson (2) Cover version by Sammi Smith (1971) C.

  • Understanding the White, Mainstream Appeal of Hip-Hop Music
    UNDERSTANDING THE WHITE, MAINSTREAM APPEAL OF HIP-HOP MUSIC: IS IT A FAD OR IS IT THE REAL THING? by JANISE MARIE BLACKSHEAR (Under the Direction of Tina M. Harris) ABSTRACT This study explores why young, White, suburban adults are consumers and fans of hip- hop music, considering it is a Black cultural art form that is specific to African-Americans. While the hip-hop music industry is predominately Black, studies consistently show that over 70% of its consumers are White. Through focus group data, this thesis revealed that hip-hop music is used by White listeners as a means for negotiating social group memberships (i.e. race, class). More importantly, the findings also contribute to the more public debate and dialogue that has plagued Black music, offering further evidence that White appropriation of Black cultural artifacts (e.g., jazz music) remains a constant, particularly in the case of hip-hop. While the findings are not generalizable to all young White suburban consumers of this genre of music, it may be inferred that a White racial identity does not help this group of consumers relate to hip- hop music.

  • The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music
    The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music Blair Black Within electronic dance music cultures (EDMCs), musicality and experi- mentation have been indebted to black and Latinx DJs of color since its inception in the 1980s. Even today, queer DJs of color continue to push the envelope of experimental EDM by showcasing dance music from the “global south,” centering remix styles that border between hip hop and EDM, and sampling cultural references popular in queer communities of color. This article explores music’s complex entanglements with identity and community for queer people of color in underground electronic dance music scenes. To be specific, the individuals within these communities self-identify as racial/ethnic minorities on the genderqueer spectrum of non-normative gender and sexual identities (gay/lesbian, trans, non- binary, etc.). Moreover, I argue that these socio-economic positions act as an impetus of a sound economy – the shared system of socio-cultural aesthetics – for queer communities of color in EDM. The first section dis- cusses the identity politics that underlie this sound economy by tracing how intertextuality allows DJs to display these minoritarian1 perspectives. I then highlight why (re)centering racialized queer identities is radical by tracing EDM’s political shifts. Specifically, I highlight how narratives sur- rounding EDM changed due to the demographic turn in Europe during the 1990s. The last section explores the re-emergence of pivotal queer DJs of color and the scenes they founded in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York by focusing on the flows of culture and people between cities to point to a more extensive global network of racialized queer communities in constant musical and political dialogue.

Magaña 1 Jose Alejandro Magaña Senior Capstone Professor Sammons Performance in EDM - A Study and Analysis of DJing and Live Performance Artists 1. Introduction Electronic Dance Music (EDM) culture today is often times associated with top mainstream DJs and producers such as Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, and David Guetta. These are artists who have established their career around DJing and/or producing electronic music albums or remixes and have gone on to headline world-renowned music festivals such as Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Coachella. The problem is that the term “DJ” can be mistakenly used interchangeably between someone who mixes between pre-recorded pieces of music at a venue with a set of turntables and a mixer and an artist who manipulates or creates music or audio live using a combination of computers, hardware, and/or controllers.

  • The Common Sense Disc Jockey
    The Common Sense Disc Jockey Luke Ouko, Arnan Sipitakiat, Carla Gomez-Monroy, Joan M. DiMicco MIT Media Lab 20 Ames St Cambridge, MA, 02139 +1 617-253-9326 {ouko, carlagm, arnans, joanie }@media.mit.edu Abstract. In this paper, we introduce the Common Sense DJ (CSDJ), a tech- nology to aid DJs in music selection. It uses ThoughtTreasure (TT) as a com- mon sense database to aid in selecting the optimal music for a crowd, given cer- tain parameters. ThoughtTreasure handles the reasoning aspect and has critics to facilitate in making better decisions. A camera captures the crowds’ level of response to the music. The CSDJ responds after going into TT’s database, find- ing the necessary common sense knowledge, and validating its usefulness through the TT Prover. Given certain goals, the application is able to learn. We demonstrate that using a common sense database such as ThoughtTreasure we can develop more intelligent applications. 1 Introduction Being a good DJ requires vast practical experience with many factors, some of which are music, people who dance for fun, their culture, moods, and trends. All of these factors go from overtly noticeable or learnable to being extremely nuanced. Good DJs skilfully tune into all of these elements and their interplay, at least most of the time. The CSDJ is intended to act as a DJ aid, not to substitute one. It helps in reducing the over-head of juggling multiple variables in order to provide the DJ’s audience with an optimum performance. The DJ is thus left to concentrate more on the creative process of selecting songs –or parts of songs– and sequencing them depending on which go best with each other, in which order, beat, and tempo and with what DJ- improvised/pre-programmed effects and comments; most importantly, the DJ needs to concentrate on exactly when to punch in the next piece.

    presents A Black History Celebration Activity Guide Hip Hop MannCenter.org/VoicesofHope Table of Contents About Hip Hop 3 DJing & Scratching 3 DJing & Scratching / Dance 4 How to Write Your Own Rap 5 Activity 6 Answer Key 7 Performance by Chill Moody 8 2 About Hip Hop Hip hop is a type of cultural art form, and it’s a lifestyle that uses rap as a form of expression and integrates other art forms - like break dancing, graffiti, and DJing – into a cohesive style. Rap is a vocal (voice) technique that uses rhyme, rhythm, and personal stories in making this particular type of music. Rap is one of the most important forms of American popular culture and is an art that falls somewhere between singing and chanting. The ability to rhyme different words is the engine that drives a good rap song. Today we will learn a bit of hip hop history, learn the basics of building your own rap, and take a look at some of the dances that derived from the start of hip hop. Photo of Chill Moody by Mark Wrice The history of hip hop culture and rap started in African American and Puerto Rican neighborhoods in New York City during the early 1970s. Rap music was a way to give a voice and identity to young people who felt like no one was listening to them. The first rapper was a Jamaican DJ named Kool Herc, who used two turntables, or record players, to create the sound for parties in New York. Some of the first major hip-hop acts from our city of Philadelphia were Schooly D, Will Smith, and DJ Jazzy Jeff, followed by The Roots, Meek Mill, Tierra Whack, Photo of Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff and Eve.
