  • 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.

  • Garage House Music Whats up with That
    Garage House Music whats up with that Future funk is a sample-based advancement of Nu-disco which formed out of the Vaporwave scene and genre in the early 2010s. It tends to be more energetic than vaporwave, including elements of French Home, Synth Funk, and making use of Vaporwave modifying techniques. A style coming from the mid- 2010s, often explained as a blend of UK garage and deep home with other elements and strategies from EDM, popularized in late 2014 into 2015, typically mixes deep/metallic/sax hooks with heavy drops somewhat like the ones discovered in future garage. One of the very first house categories with origins embeded in New York and New Jersey. It was named after the Paradise Garage bar in New york city that operated from 1977 to 1987 under the prominent resident DJ Larry Levan. Garage house established along with Chicago home and the outcome was home music sharing its resemblances, affecting each other. One contrast from Chicago house was that the vocals in garage house drew stronger impacts from gospel. Noteworthy examples consist of Adeva and Tony Humphries. Kristine W is an example of a musician involved with garage house outside the genre's origin of birth. Also understood as G-house, it includes very little 808 and 909 drum machine-driven tracks and often sexually explicit lyrics. See likewise: ghettotech, juke house, footwork. It integrates components of Chicago's ghetto house with electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass and UK garage. It includes four-on-the-floor rhythms and is normally faster than a lot of other dance music categories, at approximately 145 to 160 BPM.

  • 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. I address this dynamic with reference to Portugal’s Boom Festival.

    Why Locality Still Matters: Baltimore Club | norient.com 3 Oct 2021 22:36:32 Why Locality Still Matters: Baltimore Club by Lisa Blanning While techno and house have become widely commodified by white Europeans, Tedra Wilson’s documentary Dark City Beneath the Beat shows how Baltimore Club kept its highly localized aesthetics, and proves the richness of Black club music in the 21st century. → Check all articles of this special → Download PDF with introduction and table of contents Tedra Wilson, aka TT the Artist, shines a light on Baltimore club music – an underrepresented, highly specific local scene of electronic music, primarily by Black artists – in her documentary Dark City Beneath the Beat. Seen mostly through the idealized lens of music video set pieces – complete with saturated colours, costume design, incredible dance routines, and even narrative flourishes – very little footage was shot inside an actual club. Instead, the key fly-on-the-wall scenes come from the city’s annual Queen and King of Baltimore dance battles, where contestants flex and contort to sometimes gymnastic levels to compete in front of large, enthusiastic audiences. The extent to which this kind of talent competition informs Bmore’s breaks is something familiar, well-documented in Chicago footwork, New York’s ballroom walk-offs, and especially rap MC battles. Although the battle format for both dancers and vocalists came to the U.S. at least partly from Jamaica – https://norient.com/lisa-blanning/why-locality-still-matters-baltimore-club Page 1 of 4 Why Locality Still Matters: Baltimore Club | norient.com 3 Oct 2021 22:36:32 see, for instance, how Jamaican toasting became rapping – and possibly to Jamaica from somewhere in Africa, it still thrives today in America’s Black community strongholds.

  • An Introduction to Vocal Recording, Sampling, Looping and Effects (Unit 1)
    An Introduction to Vocal Recording, Sampling, Looping and Effects (Unit 1) Students will explore and learn the skills required to create music using new sampling, effects and looping technology. The main focus of the scheme of work is to develop an increased awareness of sound through the manipulation of vocally generated sounds. Students will compose and perform pieces of music in conjunction with various pieces of technology. This unit should be studied prior to Unit 2 (Vocalise) and Unit 3 (Film Music) and is written primarily for Year 7 students. This can be adapted for other year groups. Key Concepts: sampling, editing, effects, recording, synthesis, looping Featured Technologies: RC-300, ME-25, DR-30, HPD-10 Age Level: 11 – 14, Year 7 Download Unit Further Resources PPT for Activity 3: BailaBaila vocal samples [link to Unit 1_activity3 folder here] Sample Image for Activity 6 [insert link to comic.jpg here] Sample Image for Activity 7 [insert link to hpd10.jpg here] PPT for Activity 7: Drum Kit [insert link to Unit 1_activity7.ppt here] Vocalise (Unit 2) Students will learn how to use their voices as musical instruments in conjunction with a range of performance and sound processing technologies. They will create ‘sound poetry’, a form of musical and literary composition, within which the phonetic aspects of human speech and noise making are highlighted. Sound Poetry is a performance based activity and, as such, will provide an ideal way to meet the National Curriculum’s new demand for using technologies to support processes of musical performance. The vocal skills that students will learn in this unit are transferable into singing activities and will also generate confidence for future lyric/song writing.

  • Progressive House: from Underground to the Big Room
    PROGRESSIVE HOUSE: FROM UNDERGROUND TO THE BIG ROOM A Bachelor thesis written by Sonja Hamhuis. Student number 5658829 Study Ba. Musicology Course year 2017-2018 Semester 1 Faculty Humanities Supervisor dr. Michiel Kamp Date 22-01-2017 ABSTRACT The electronic dance industry consists of many different subgenres. All of them have their own history and have developed over time, causing uncertainties about the actual definition of these subgenres. Among those is progressive house, a British genre by origin, that has evolved in stages over the past twenty-five years and eventually gained popularity with the masses. Within the field of musicology, these processes have not yet been covered. Therefore, this research provides insights in the historical process of the defining and popularisation of progressive house music. By examining interviews, media articles and academic literature, and supported by case studies on Leftfield’s ‘Not Forgotten’ en the Swedish House Mafia’s ‘One (Your Name)’, it hypothesizes that there is a connection between the musical changes in progressive house music and its popularisation. The results also show that the defining of progressive house music has been - and is - an extensive process fuelled by center collectivities and gatekeepers like fan communities, media, record labels, and artists. Moreover, it suggests that the same center collectivities and gatekeepers, along with the on-going influences of digitalisation, played a part in the popularisation of the previously named genres. Altogether, this thesis aims to open doors for future research on genre defining processes and electronic dance music culture. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ............................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 1 - On the defining of genre .......................................................................

  • University of Nevada, Reno Partying with Hello Kitty: How Electronic Dance Music and Rave Culture Are Transforming, Commercializ
    University of Nevada, Reno Partying with Hello Kitty: How Electronic Dance Music and Rave Culture are transforming, commercializing, and globalizing youth culture in the twenty-first century A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Geoff Scott Dr. Hugh Shapiro/Thesis Advisor May 2014 i Abstract This thesis will demonstrate how electronic dance music (EDM) has evolved from the musical underground during the second half of the twentieth century into the mainstream, commercial powerhouse it is now in the early twenty-first-century world. EDM at its core is a musical style characterized by the use of synthetic, electronic sounds. The combination of technological devices such as drum machines, repetitive bass lines, electronic builds and releases and inorganic noises in tandem with instrumental and vocal samples makes EDM an incredibly malleable style of dance music that has branched into a variety of forms over the course of its less than fifty year existence. Innovations in technology, like the tape reel, the Moog synthesizer, the vinyl mixer and the computer have led to new ways of contemplating and creating music. I argue that the innovative musical voices of late modernism and early postmodernism set the foundation for early EDM, who were not afraid to harness the new synthetic sounds at their disposal. Electronic dance music can trace its roots back to the repetitive, minimalist structures used since the 1960’s by postmodern composers such as Philip Glass and the electronic instrumentation of artists like Terry Riley and John Cage. Owing to its flexibility, EDM has also been re-contextualized in different cultures.
