Dancing Under Socialism: Ex-Yu Electronica | Norient.Com 25 Sep 2021 22:47:34 Dancing Under Socialism: Ex-Yu Electronica | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 22:47:34 Dancing Under Socialism: Ex- Yu Electronica by Gregor Bulc In the last couple of years, various collections of electronic music from former Yugoslavia popped up, ranging from numerous downloadable CDR mixtapes to official compilation albums. The Croatian film critic and media connoisseur Željko Luketić presents his favorite songs and clips. The trend of officially published compilations of Yugoslav electronic music started arguably in 2010 when Subkulturni Azil from Maribor, Slovenia, released the Ex Yu Electronica Vol I: Hometaping in Self-Management vinyl on its Monofonika label, followed by the Vol II: Industrial Electro Bypasses in the North – In Memoriam Mario Marzidovšek, dedicated solely to Slovenian scene. Here are some of the artist featured on these two vinyls, whose creativity and innovation, as well as sheer volume of music production and distribution effort remain unmatched to this day. Electric Fish – Stvar V (Slovenia 1985) Andrei Grammatik – Poslanica Duholovcima (Macedonia/Serbia 1988) https://norient.com/blog/ex-yu-electronic-music Page 1 of 6 Dancing Under Socialism: Ex-Yu Electronica | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 22:47:34 Mario Marzidovšek aka Merzdow Shek – Suicide In America (Slovenia 1987) The Ex Yu Electronica Vol III contains the art duo Imitacija Života’s hard-to- come-across videos, followed by a rarefied industrial electro breakbeat cover of Bob Dylan’s classic from Jozo Oko Gospe: Imitacija Života – Instrumentator (Croatia 1989) Video not available anymore. Jozo Oko Gospe – Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door (Croatia 1984) Yugo-Synth in America / Diskoteka in Croatia Max & Intro – Ostavi sve (1985) Next comes a track to kick off the party – a ruby from one of Rijeka’s finest yet relatively hidden synth-pop/disco icons, who by most criteria, should find her place in Diskoteka: Milka Lenac – Željo luda (Croatia 1980) While indulging my curiosity by throwing out some remarkably teasing audio crumbs, Luketić also rightfully feels saddened by the fact that «plenty of this material doesn’t enjoy the status of protected cultural artefacts.» Early electronic music production should be acknowledged as important cultural heritage, protected and looked after with the care it deserves. Origins of Yugoslav Electronica So where does the story of Yugoslav electronica actually begin? If for lack of space one focuses on popular music genres and puts aside 1960s and 1970s electroacoustic and avantgarde music composers (Branimir Sakač, Vladan Radovanović, Dragoslav Ortakov etc), the origins of Yugoslav electronic music can be detected in the late 1970s pop music, jazz, prog rock, film soundtracks, as well as radio jingles and TV themes. Here’s a good example of the latter – the legendary 1978 theme for TV Belgrade’s Daily News 2 programme authored by one of the most remarkable film soundtrack composers in Yugoslavia, Zoran Simjanović: Zoran Simjanović – Dnevnik 2 RTB (Serbia 1978) Discussing Serbian electronic music in 1978, one cannot but at least mention the famous soul/synth-pop artist Oliver Mandić’s track Šuma, the B-side of his debut single. This remains to this day Mandić’s sole daring take on electronica and you can give it a go by listening to Bturn podcast #002 by DJ Brka. Podcast not available anymore. https://norient.com/blog/ex-yu-electronic-music Page 2 of 6 Dancing Under Socialism: Ex-Yu Electronica | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 22:47:34 We speed on to Croatia’s Igor Savin. Although this composer and jazz musician released a proper electronic album Childhood in 1982, and went on to establish the Electronic Studio at Zagreb’s Vatroslav Lisinki Hall, he had been dealing with electronic music way earlier. Most remarkably on this track produced for a jazz/rock singer Zdenka Kovačiček: Zdenka Kovačiček – Elektra (Croatia 1978) Speaking of composers meddling with electronica, here’s an interesting teaser from Luketić: Kosovo’s Gjon Gjevlekaj. Creating tracks for television and film, Gjevlekaj has produced a number of remarkable pieces, for instance, Gjevlekaj’s 1988 soundtrack for Fog Guardians, a fascinating and rather horrorish avantgarde film directed by Isa Qosja, which at the time was actually banned due to its portrayal of secret police’s violent methods: Isa Qosja – Rojet e mjegulles (‘Fog Guardians’); Soundtrack: Gjon Gjevlekaj (Kosovo 1988) Video not available anymore. It’s quite hard to draw a clear line between former Yugoslav republics, however, since in those days excellent Belgrade bands would record for Zagreb labels and vice versa. Nonetheless, it’s clear that Croatia and Serbia were producing more tracks than other regions, although Serbian production was rather stronger in terms of quality than Croatian. Slovenia, on the other hand, held the forefront position, which is understandable as some of the bands there were signed by international labels, for instance Borghesia by PIAS and Laibach by Mute.» Slovenian Electric Dreams Considering the early 1980s electronica in Slovenia, one has to acknowledge not only the underground heroes but also Miha Kralj’s pioneering role in bringing the synthesized tunes to the masses. Kralj’s instrumental full- lengths, Andromeda (1980), Odyssey (1982) and Electric Dreams (1985), heavily influenced by the likes of Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre, sold in tens of thousands. In the mean time he also made sure, through this recognizable theme, that millions of viewers of 1980s TV broadcasts of Planica ski jumping competitions got used to its electronically sounding trademark tune. Moreover, he produced tracks for Cice Mace, an early 1980s teenage disco- pop girl group from Serbia, including their attempt at singing to his track Embrio from Andromeda: Cice Mace – Foto Model (Serbia 1981) Video not available anymore. https://norient.com/blog/ex-yu-electronic-music Page 3 of 6 Dancing Under Socialism: Ex-Yu Electronica | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 22:47:34 While Borghesia, Laibach, Marzidovšek and the rest are justly considered more innovative in their musical (and visual) approach than Kralj, he remains a giant of Slovenian/Yugoslav mainstream ambient space electronica. Check out the man himself in this multilayered theatre-in-the-snow music video he put out in mid-eighties: Miha Kralj – Electric Dreams (Slovenia 1985) Video not available anymore. Electronica Proper It was obvious by the early 1980s that some people in Yugoslavia didn’t think electronic music was just a flash in the pan. Željko Luketić maintains that the first group in Yugoslavia which actually decided to start producing only electronic music, in today’s sense of the word, was Belgrade’s Kozmetika. Although their first and last album appeared in stores as late as 1983 due to unfortunate circumstances, they had been working on that material already since the late 1970s. First, the track «T.V.» from 1981 single of Beograd, a band which holds the title of the first officially released electronic music artist in Yugoslavia: Beograd – T.V. (Serbia 1981) Second, some of their amazing unreleased tracks have surfaced online, including the 1985 ‘Soldier Boy’. From the unreleased stuff though, the following early career treasure might be recommended: Data – Video Heroj (Serbia 1981) Third, two cassette-only tracks from Master Scratch Band. You can listen to one of those here and then turn your full attention to one of their rare music videos: The Master Scratch Band – Computer Break (Serbia 1984) Fourth, a must-have bizarre early 80s aerobic exercise cassette produced by a famous Croatian composer Alfi Kabiljo and adorned by voice, as well as breathing, of a dancer and choreographer Vesna Mimica. Get off your ass and stretch for this one! Vesna Mimica and Alfi Kabiljo – YU Aerobic br. 1 (Croatia 1983) Fifth, «Dee Dee Mellow’s song ‘Crni Djeda Mraz’. I opt here for the English- language version and funky music video of this not strictly electronic yet dancy Talking Headish tune: Dee Dee Mellow – Black Santa Claus (Croatia 1990) https://norient.com/blog/ex-yu-electronic-music Page 4 of 6 Dancing Under Socialism: Ex-Yu Electronica | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 22:47:34 Primitive Dance and Women Producers Luketić is co-authoring the documentary on Yugo electronic music, Primitivni ples (Primitive Dance), which deals with the avantgarde scene as well. Incidentally, the documentary was named after Du Du A’s 1983 electro pop song/album: Du Du A – Primitivni ples How about some women producers? There seem to be almost none in Yugoslav electronica. «As far as women are concerned, they are represented on Diskoteka and Synth Yugoslavia compilations; mostly as performers/vocalists though, much less as composers,» says Luketić. «In avantgarde music there were even fewer, however,» he adds when I mention Serbian composer Ludmila Frajt. Let her electroacoustic rarity therefore serve as an important reminder of women’s position in electronic music production. Ludmila Frajt – Nokturno (Serbia 1976) All in all, rare Yugoslav electronic music is definitely returning from its early grave. Not least in terms of its market value, since, lately, the prices of original records have started skyrocketing in online shops. Hopefully, this brief and very incomplete history will serve to some of you as a reminder of the wicked times you had back then, while to others as an introductory course to weird gems folks were dancing to under socialist self-management.

Razpad Jugoslavije in vpliv rock 'n' rolla v protivojnih akcijah v Srbiji v devetdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja Diplomsko delo obravnava tematiko razpada Jugoslavije in vpliv rocka v protivojnih akcijah v Srbiji. Vojne na območju nekdanje Jugoslavije so v srbski družbi pustile neizbrisen pečat. Vojna kultura ni vplivala samo na razmah kriminala temveč je močno zaznamovala tudi glasbeno sceno. Protivojne akcije so bile relativno pogoste; vojni situaciji so se upirale različne organizacije, ki so z akcijami opozarjale na nesmiselnost vojne in njene posledice. Prav tako so protivojno držo izražali posamezni rock glasbeniki, ki so izvedli nekaj uspešnih projektov. Najodmevnejši projekt je skupina Rimtutituki, ki je v februarju 1992 posnela pacifistično pesem Slušaj 'vamo (Poslušaj) z eksplicitnim sporočilom. Rock ni preprečil tragičnega konca SFRJ, to niti ni bil namen, brez dvoma pa izpeljani glasbeni projekti predstavljajo velik uspeh in iskro upanja vsem narodom nekdanje skupne države.

  • Kanye West's Sonic [Hip Hop] Cosmopolitanism
    ÷ Chapter 7 Kanye West's Sonic [Hip Hop] Cosmopolitanism Regina N. Bradley On September 2, 2005, Kanye West appeared on an NBC benefit telecast for Hurricane Katrina victims. West, emotionally charged and going off script, blurted out, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Early ill his rapping career and fi'esh off the critically acclaimed sophomore album Late Registration, West thrusts himself into the public eye--debatably either on accident or purposefully--as a ÷ scemingly budding cuhural-political pundit. For the audience, West's ÷ growing popularity and visibility as a rapper automatically translated his concerns into a statement on behalf of all African Americans. West, however, quickly shies away from being labeled a leader, disclaiming his outburst as a personal opinion. In retrospect, West states: "When I made my statement about Katrina, it was a social statement, an emo- tional statement, not a political one" (Scaggs, 2007). Nevertheless, his initial comments about the Bush administration's handling of Katrina positioned him both as a producer of black cultural expres- sion and as a mediator of said blackness. It is from this interstitial space that West continued to operate moving fbrward, using music-- and the occasional outburstÿto identify himself as transcending the expectations placed upon his blackness and masculinity. West utilizes music to tread the line between hip-hop ktentity poli- tics and his own convictions, blurring discourses through which race and gender are presented to a (inter)national audience, it is important to note that hip-hop serves doubly as an intervention of American capitalism and of black agency.

  • Authenticity in Electronic Dance Music in Serbia at the Turn of the Centuries
    The Other by Itself: Authenticity in electronic dance music in Serbia at the turn of the centuries Inaugural dissertation submitted to attain the academic degree of Dr phil., to Department 07 – History and Cultural Studies at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz Irina Maksimović Belgrade Mainz 2016 Supervisor: Co-supervisor: Date of oral examination: May 10th 2017 Abstract Electronic dance music (shortly EDM) in Serbia was an authentic phenomenon of popular culture whose development went hand in hand with a socio-political situation in the country during the 1990s. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991 to the moment of the official end of communism in 2000, Serbia was experiencing turbulent situations. On one hand, it was one of the most difficult periods in contemporary history of the country. On the other – it was one of the most original. In that period, EDM officially made its entrance upon the stage of popular culture and began shaping the new scene. My explanation sheds light on the fact that a specific space and a particular time allow the authenticity of transposing a certain phenomenon from one context to another. Transposition of worldwide EDM culture in local environment in Serbia resulted in scene development during the 1990s, interesting DJ tracks and live performances. The other authenticity is the concept that led me to research. This concept is mostly inspired by the book “Death of the Image” by philosopher Milorad Belančić, who says that the image today is moved to the level of new screen and digital spaces. The other authenticity offers another interpretation of a work, or an event, while the criterion by which certain phenomena, based on pre-existing material can be noted is to be different, to stand out by their specificity in a new context.

  • Electronic Dance Music
    Electronic Dance Music Spring 2016 / Tuesdays 6:00 pm – 9:50 pm Taper Hall of the Humanities, 202 MUSC 410, 4.0 Units Instructor: Dr. Sean Nye Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesdays, 3–5 p.m. in 305 MUS Description: In this decade, Electronic Dance Music (EDM) has experienced an extraordinary renaissance in the United States, both in terms of music and festival culture. This development has not only surprised and fascinated the popular press, but also long-established EDM scholars and protagonists. Some have gone so far as to claim that EDM is the music of the Millennial Generation. Beyond these current developments, EDM’s history – as disco, house, techno, rave, electronica, etc. – spans a broader chronology from the 1970s to the present. It involves multiple intersections with the music and cultures of hip-hop and reggae, among others. In this course, we will examine EDM through a dual perspective emerging from our present moment: (1) the history of global EDM, especially in Europe and the United States, between the 1970s and the 2000s, and (2) current EDM scenes in Los Angeles and beyond. To address this perspective, we will carefully read from Simon Reynolds’s classic history of rave culture, Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture. Additional readings will include selections from a newly published history of American EDM, Michaelangelo Matos’s The Underground is Massive: How Electronic Dance Music Conquered America. We will also have guest speakers to discuss a range of EDM cultural practices and issues. Objectives: As a course open to non-music majors, this class will attempt to enrich our experiences and critical engagement with EDM.

    Serbia libri film musica Il progetto "Racconta l'Europa all'Europa" è cofinanziato dall'Unione Europea LIBRI Serbia hardcore Dušan Veličković Zandonai, 2008 Brillanti e beffarde, colte e irriverenti, queste short stories, veri e propri “racconti dal vivo”, vanno quasi a comporre un romanzo in frantumi e narrano di un luogo chiamato Belgrado, di un Paese chiamato Serbia in una travagliata fase di transizione. Dušan Veličković presta la propria voce a una comunità lacerata, che vive in biblico tra un "passato che non è mai passato" e dal quale si ereditano conflitti, tragedie e triviali derive nazionalistiche, e un futuro appeso a un filo di incertezza e scetticismo che dovrà sciogliere il dilemma di una colpa collettiva. Sottocoperta Vladimir Arsenijević ComEdit 2000, 1 995 Sottocoperta è il posto dove avete il minor numero di possibilità di salvarvi quando la nave affonda.

Un libro sulla Belgrado anni '90 di Vladimir Arsenijević che nei primi anni '80 dà vita alla punk band Urbana Gerila e successivamente ai Berliner Strasse, uno dei punti di riferimento del post­rock jugoslavo.
