  • Grime + Gentrification
    GRIME + GENTRIFICATION In London the streets have a voice, multiple actually, afro beats, drill, Lily Allen, the sounds of the city are just as diverse but unapologetically London as the people who live here, but my sound runs at 140 bpm. When I close my eyes and imagine London I see tower blocks, the concrete isn’t harsh, it’s warm from the sun bouncing off it, almost comforting, council estates are a community, I hear grime, it’s not the prettiest of sounds but when you’ve been raised on it, it’s home. “Grime is not garage Grime is not jungle Grime is not hip-hop and Grime is not ragga. Grime is a mix between all of these with strong, hard hitting lyrics. It's the inner city music scene of London. And is also a lot to do with representing the place you live or have grown up in.” - Olly Thakes, Urban ​ Dictionary Or at least that’s what Urban Dictionary user Olly Thake had to say on the matter back in 2006, and honestly, I couldn’t have put it better myself. Although I personally trust a geezer off of Urban Dictionary more than an out of touch journalist or Good Morning Britain to define what grime is, I understand that Urban Dictionary may not be the most reliable source due to its liberal attitude to users uploading their own definitions with very little screening and that Mr Thake’s definition may also leave you with more questions than answers about what grime actually is and how it came to be.

  • With Alcohol
    Faculty of Health Sciences National Drug Research Institute An ethnographic study of recreational drug use and identity management among a network of electronic dance music enthusiasts in Perth, Western Australia Rachael Renee Green This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University September 2012 i Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………... ii Abstract This thesis explores the social contexts and cultural significance of amphetamine- type stimulant (ATS) and alcohol use among a social network of young adults in Perth, Western Australia. The study is positioned by the “normalisation thesis” (Parker et al . 1998), a body of scholarly work proposing that certain “sensible” forms of illicit drug use have become more culturally acceptable or normal among young people in the United Kingdom (UK) population since the 1990s. Academic discussion about cultural processes of normalisation is relevant in the Australian context, where the prevalence of illicit drug use among young adults is comparable to the UK. This thesis develops the work of Sharon Rødner Sznitman (Rødner, 2005, 2006; Rødner Sznitman, 2008), who argued that normalisation researchers have neglected the “micro-politics that drug users might be engaged in when trying to challenge the stigma attached to them” (Rødner Sznitman, 2008, pp.456-457). Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted among ‘scenesters’ – members of a social network that was based primarily on involvement in Perth’s electronic dance music (EDM) ‘scene’.

  • Biography Mark Ronson Is an Internationally Renowned DJ and Five-Time-Grammy-Award-Winning and Golden Globe-Winning Artist and P
    Biography Mark Ronson is an internationally renowned DJ and five-time-Grammy-Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning artist and producer. Ronson spent the first eight years of his life growing up in London, England. Having played guitar and drums from an early age, it wasn't until moving to New York City following his parents’ divorce, that he discovered DJ culture. At age 16, and already a fan of artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, Ronson began listening to mixtapes released by various hip hop DJs. Inspired, Ronson confiscated his step-father's vinyl collection and tried his hand at mixing. It was the first step in a career highlighted by work on a multi Grammy-winning album by Amy Winehouse, as well as his own Grammy-winning, global smash hit with Bruno Mars, "Uptown Funk." In the late 1990s into the early 2000s, the New York club scene was percolating with booming hip-hop and glitzy R&B. Ronson quickly earned himself a reputation through stints on the decks in downtown clubs before becoming the DJ of choice for many noteworthy parties. Hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs hired Ronson to DJ his fabled 29th birthday bash. These and other high-profile gigs boosted Ronson's profile and connected him with other artists, many of whom were interested in collaborating. His first production gig came from British soul singer Nikka Costa and he found that his experience of working a club crowd informed his production skills. Fusing his eclectic turntable skills with his knowledge of musical instruments and songwriting, Ronson soon embarked on his first solo record.

Kwaku’s work is a testament to Brent’s contribution to the evolution of British black music and the commercial infrastructure to support it. His research contained separate sections on labels, shops, artists, radio stations and sound systems. In this version we have amalgamated these into a single ‘encyclopedia’ and added entries that cover the period between 2007-2020.

British superstar Estelle is determined to steal the show and looks set to shine on the night after receiving 5 nominations for this year’s Awards. The Londoner has achieved huge acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic with her album Shine this year. She will take her place in a line up that also includes her American mentor, label manager and fellow megastar John Legend , who was introduced to Estelle by mutual friend Kanye West. Legend signed the British singer to his Hometown Records label and launched her into the musical stratosphere. For Legend, it is doubly satisfying for Estelle to be the hot favourite on the night, “I am so excited to be able to perform at MOBO and showcase some songs from my new album,” says Legend, “I am so happy that Estelle is nominated 5 times too! She is a huge talent and it has been great to be part of her story.” Legend’s own eagerly awaited new album, Evolver , is released in October and features Estelle, Kanye West and Andre 3000. Bridging the Atlantic is Londoner Taio Cruz , a player in the US music scene where he has written for Usher, Mya and Britney Spears and had his own career mentored by Dallas Austin.

Michael Harrison, host to the cutting- edge jazz program The Bridge, joins the Bride’s for this special presentation. “Soweto Kinch raps like a champion and plays like a dream.” – London Evening Standard Birmingham-raised, Oxford-educated saxophonist and rapper Soweto Kinch is considered the most exciting and versatile young musicians in both the British jazz and hip hop scenes.

  • Measuring Music 2015 Report Acknowledgements
    MEASURING MUSIC 2015 REPORT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Measuring Music is created on behalf of UK Music and its UK MUSIC MEMBERS members to highlight the economic contribution of the music industry to the UK economy. 2015 is the third edition of the report, which was first published in 2013. When we published Measuring Music last year, Tony Clayton, then Chief Economist of the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) said: “The IPO welcomes UK Music’s collaborative research on the economic contribution of music. This excellent piece of work meets both the IPO’s Standards of Good Evidence and National Accounts standards.” We are pleased to continue to work collaboratively with the IPO on research, as well as with other relevant bodies including Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS). In particular, we are grateful to the ONS for allowing us access to the Virtual Microdata Lab (VML), which has enabled us to apply a bespoke methodology for the calculation of the music industry’s GVA. We are grateful for collaboration from all parts of the music industry with this research. Over the past two years in excess of 1,500 musicians have responded to our survey, giving us a vital and unique insight into their careers. In addition, accountants to some of the UK’s leading music acts have provided unprecedented insight into their clients’ earning structures. We have worked with all UK Music members to survey their memberships. This research would not be possible without this enthusiastic participation and vital data inputs from them. UK Music is the umbrella organisation which represents the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry- from artists, musicians, songwriters and composers, to record labels, LIVE MUSIC GROUP music managers, music publishers, studio producers, music • Association of Independent Festivals licensing organisations and the live music industry.
