  • The Psytrance Party
    THE PSYTRANCE PARTY C. DE LEDESMA M.Phil. 2011 THE PSYTRANCE PARTY CHARLES DE LEDESMA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of East London for the degree of Master of Philosophy August 2011 Abstract In my study, I explore a specific kind of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) event - the psytrance party to highlight the importance of social connectivity and the generation of a modern form of communitas (Turner, 1969, 1982). Since the early 90s psytrance, and a related earlier style, Goa trance, have been understood as hedonist music cultures where participants seek to get into a trance-like state through all night dancing and psychedelic drugs consumption. Authors (Cole and Hannan, 1997; D’Andrea, 2007; Partridge, 2004; St John 2010a and 2010b; Saldanha, 2007) conflate this electronic dance music with spirituality and indigene rituals. In addition, they locate psytrance in a neo-psychedelic countercultural continuum with roots stretching back to the 1960s. Others locate the trance party events, driven by fast, hypnotic, beat-driven, largely instrumental music, as post sub cultural and neo-tribal, representing symbolic resistance to capitalism and neo liberalism. My study is in partial agreement with these readings when applied to genre history, but questions their validity for contemporary practice. The data I collected at and around the 2008 Offworld festival demonstrates that participants found the psytrance experience enjoyable and enriching, despite an apparent lack of overt euphoria, spectacular transgression, or sustained hedonism. I suggest that my work adds to an existing body of literature on psytrance in its exploration of a dance music event as a liminal space, redolent with communitas, but one too which foregrounds mundane features, such as socialising and pleasure.

  • Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival DC
    Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival GRAHAM ST JOHN UNIVERSITY OF REGINA, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Abstract !is article explores the religio-spiritual characteristics of psytrance (psychedelic trance), attending speci"cally to the characteristics of what I call neotrance apparent within the contemporary trance event, the countercultural inheritance of the “tribal” psytrance festival, and the dramatizing of participants’ “ultimate concerns” within the festival framework. An exploration of the psychedelic festival offers insights on ecstatic (self- transcendent), performative (self-expressive) and re!exive (conscious alternative) trajectories within psytrance music culture.

    Titel doctoraalscriptie De dj als superster Universiteit Universiteit van Utrecht Auteur J.H. Meeuwissen Studierichting Taal en Cultuurstudies Adres Waalstraat 93hs Specialisatie Kunstbeleid en Management Woonplaats Amsterdam Eerste lezer drs. Ingmar Leijen Telefoon 06-51819744 Tweede lezer dr. Kees Vuyk Studentnummer 0067016 Datum mei 2007 - de dj als superster - 2 Samenvatting In De dj als superster wordt een vergelijking getrokken tussen de superster uit de popmuziek en de dj uit de dancewereld. De thesis legt overeenkomsten en verschillen in marketingtechnieken tussen de popmuziekwereld en de dancemuziekwereld bloot. De opkomst en creatie van de superster in de jaren tachtig worden bestudeerd, alsmede de geschiedenis van dancemuziek en marketingtechnieken in de dancescene. Hierdoor komen ook enkele fundamentele verschillen tussen deze twee muziekwerelden aan het licht. De dj is aan het einde van de 20 e eeuw het middelpunt geworden van de dancescene. Het uitgebreide takenpakket van een dj vertoont overeenkomsten met het takenpakket van een superster in de popmuziek. Ook op het gebied van de marketing zijn er diverse overeenkomsten gevonden in dit onderzoek. Hier zijn echter ook belangrijke verschillen aan het licht gekomen. Uit de interviews met specialisten uit de dancewereld blijkt dat de marketingmethodes die zij gebruiken, voor een groot deel overeenkomen met de benodigdheden die gevonden werden voor het bereiken van de supersterstatus in de popmuziek in de jaren tachtig. Vier van die zeven benodigdheden, te weten het verzorgen van optredens, wereldwijde distributie, cross-overs en weinig aanbod op het gebied van optredens, worden volledig identiek ook toegepast in de marketing van dj’s. Slechts met één punt, het bezitten van sex appeal, wordt op dit moment niets gedaan door de specialisten uit de dance-industrie.

Part-funded by the European Union’s Interreg project, CCIA is a transnational project in the community currency field, bringing together expert partners from across north-west Europe and co-ordinating six pilot currencies in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. Drawing on the learnings of these pilots and the broader currency innovation movement, this book provides policymakers and practitioners alike with the information and advice to successfully implement a currency project in their communities. With the right PART 01 C/02 01 PART knowledge and support, these can bring significant economic, social and environmental benefits to their users. Often confined to the margins, community currencies have the potential to become a normal part of economic life.

  • Elites, Communities and the Limited Benefits of Mentorship in Electronic
    Elites, communities and the limited benefits of mentorship in electronic music Milan´ Janosov1, Federico Musciotto1, Federico Battiston1, and Gerardo Iniguez˜ 1, 2, 3,* 1Department of Network and Data Science, Central European University, Budapest, 1051, Hungary 2Department of Computer Science, Aalto University School of Science, Aalto, 00076, Finland 3IIMAS, Universidad Nacional Autonoma´ de Mexico,´ Ciudad de Mexico,´ 01000, Mexico *[email protected] Abstract While the emergence of success in creative professions, such as music, has been studied extensively, the link between individual success and collaboration is not yet fully uncovered. Here we aim to fill this gap by analyzing longitudinal data on the co-releasing and mentoring patterns of popular electronic music artists appearing in the annual Top 100 ranking of DJ Magazine. We find that while this ranking list of popularity publishes 100 names, only the top 20 is stable over time, showcasing a lock-in effect on the electronic music elite. Based on the temporal co-release network of top musicians, we extract a diverse community structure characterizing the electronic music industry. These groups of artists are temporally segregated, sequentially formed around leading musicians, and represent changes in arXiv:1908.10968v2 [physics.soc-ph] 31 Oct 2019 musical genres. We show that a major driving force behind the formation of music communities is mentorship: around half of musicians entering the top 100 have been mentored by current leading figures before they entered the list. We also find that mentees are unlikely to break into the top 20, yet have much higher expected best ranks than those who were not mentored.
