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.

PhDr. Csaba Szaló, Ph.D. UČO: 137526 Obor: Sociologie Imatrikulační ročník: 2009 Brno, 2011 Čestné prohlášení Prohlašuji, ţe jsem diplomovou práci „Politizace české freetekno subkultury“ vypracoval samostatně a pouze s pouţitím pramenů uvedených v seznamu literatury. ................................... V Brně dne 15. května 2011 Jan Segeš Poděkování Děkuji doc. PhDr. Csabovi Szaló, Ph.D. za odborné vedení práce a za podnětné připomínky, které mi poskytl. Dále děkuji RaveBoyovi za ochotu odpovídat na mé otázky a přístup k archivu dokumentů. V neposlední řadě děkuji svým rodičům a prarodičům za jejich podporu v průběhu celého mého studia. ANOTACE Práce se zabývá politizací freetekno subkultury v České Republice. Politizace je v nahlíţena ve dvou dimenzích. První dimenzí je explicitní politizace, kterou můţeme vnímat jako aktivní politickou participaci. Druhou dimenzí je politizace na úrovni kaţdodenního ţivota. Ta je odkrývána díky re-definici subkultury pomocí post- subkulturních teorií, zejména pak Maffesoliho konceptem neotribalismu a teorie dočasné autonomní zóny Hakima Beye. Práce se snaţí odkrýt obě úrovně politizace freetekno subkultury v českém prostředí pomocí analýzy dostupných dokumentů týkajících se teknivalů CzechTek, CzaroTek a pouličního festivalu DIY Karneval. Rozsah práce: základní text + poznámky pod čarou, titulní list, obsah, rejstřík, anotace a seznam literatury je 138 866 znaků. Klíčová slova: freetekno, politizace, dočasná autonomní zóna, DAZ, neo-kmen, neotribalismus, CzechTek, subkultura, post-subkultury ANNOTATION The presented work focuses on the politicization of the freetekno subculture in the Czech Republic. The politicization is perceived in two dimensions. The first dimension is the explicit politicization, which could be represented as the active political participation.

  • Techno Et Culture Underground À Berlin Publié Le 6 Janvier 2014 – Zones Subversives
    Techno et culture underground à Berlin Publié le 6 Janvier 2014 – Zones subversives Le mouvement techno lance une véritable contre-culture dans le Berlin des années 1990. Mais la fête devient progressivement une marchandise. Le mouvement techno ne se limite pas au formatage musical pour clubbers branchés. En Allemagne, au début des années 1990, cette musique exprime une révolte qui rythme la contre-culture. Deux journalistes évoquent cette nouvelle forme de créativité dans un livre récent, à travers de nombreux entretiens. « La chute du mur survint au moment où naissait une nouvelle musique machinique, rugueuse, fantastique », introduisent Félix Denk et Sven Von Thülen. Avec l’effondrement de la bureaucratie bolchévique, de nouveaux espaces de créativité peuvent s’ouvrir. Des usines désaffectées et des bâtiments vides sont occupés. « Dans tous ces lieux que l’histoire la plus récente avait comme rendus à la vie civile, on s’est mis à danser sur une musique quasiment réinventée de fond en comble chaque semaine », décrivent Félix Denk et Sven Von Thülen. La techno émerge dans les années 1980 dans la ville de Détroit, aux États-Unis. Mais Berlin devient le berceau d’une réinvention contestataire de cette musique. Dans l’Est de la ville, la moindre sous- culture est réprimée, tandis que le rock s’est imposé à l’Ouest. Mais la techno permet un véritable souffle de liberté. Chacun peut expérimenter sa propre musique et exprimer sa créativité. « D’un seul coup, chacun pouvait programmer son propre monde : passer des disques, produire de la musique, fonder un magazine, imprimer des T- shirts… La techno appelait à la participation de chacun.

  • Baby Raves: Youth, Adulthood and Ageing in Contemporary British EDM Culture
    Baby Raves: Youth, Adulthood and Ageing in Contemporary British EDM Culture Feature Article Zoe Armour De Montfort University (UK) Abstract This article begins with a reconsideration of the parameters ofage in translocal EDM sound system and (super)club culture through the conceptualisation of a fluid multigenerationality in which attendees at EDM-events encompass a spectrum of ages from 0–75 years. Since the 1980s, it remains the case that the culture is fuelled through a constant influx of newcomers who are predominantly emerging youth, yet there are post-youth members in middle adulthood and later life that are also a growing body that continues to attend EDM-events. In this context, the baby rave initiative (2004–present) has capitalised on a gap in the family entertainment market and created a new chapter in (super)club and festival culture. I argue that the event is a catalyst for live heritage in which the accompanying children (aged from 0–12 years) temporarily become the beneficiaries of their parent’s attendee heritage and performance of an unauthored heritage. Keywords: fluid multigenerationality, EDM-family, baby rave, live heritage, unauthored heritage Zoe Armour is completing a PhD in electronic dance music culture. Her work is interdisciplinary and draws from the fields of cultural sociology, popular music, memory studies, media and communication and film. She is the author of two book chapters on Ageing Clubbers and the Internet and the British Free Party Counterculture in the late 1990s. She is a member of the Media Discourse Centre, IASPM and follows the group for Subcultures, Popular Music and Social Change.

  • Sound System Nation: Jamaica GRAHAM ST JOHN
    Sound System Nation: Jamaica GRAHAM ST JOHN from UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND the floor 1. Photo by author Several years ago, I started gathering interest in mobile initiatives committed to social and political causes in Australia called “sound systems”. The likes of Labrats and other vehicles for the performance of postcolonial desires had been rallying the disaffected to wild and weird frontlines, pursuing, as techno-activist mover and shaker Pete Strong (aka Mashy P) once said, “a sound system for all”. Back then, I’d become excited by these proactive and convivial mobilisations. Responding to local ecological and humanitarian issues, and fed by developments in electronic music culture, a groovement was afoot. Becoming interested in the roots of these developments, one path took me in the direction of the original spinners, the UK’s Spiral Tribe, whose anarchist antics ap- pealed to thousands of tekno-travelers and sonic squatters, attracting the law in the form of a four month and £4 million trial in 1994 that eventually saw Spiral Tribe participants acquitted of the charge of “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance”. The Spirals then kicked off the European and worldwide freetekno movement – whose chief cultural expression is the teknival.

  • The Diy Free Party Collective.’ Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture 8 (1)
    Please reference the original article: Payling, Dave. 2016. ‘The DiY Free Party Collective.’ Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture 8 (1). https://dj.dancecult.net/index.php/dancecult/article/view/897. THE DIY FREE PARTY COLLECTIVE DAVE PAYLING, STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION The DiY free party collective was founded in Nottingham, UK, in 1990 and were among the originators of the Nottingham house music sound. They had many releases on their own Strictly for Groovers label, part of DiY discs, and supported and influenced other producers such as Inland Knights, Nail, the Littlemen and many others. They were also at the forefront of the free party scene in the UK and inspired other local sound systems such as Smokescreen and Pulse to take up the mantle in providing unlicensed all night parties in outdoor locations throughout the Midlands. With the passing of anti-rave legislation, mounting external pressures from police and authorities and internal problems caused by drug abuse, hedonistic lifestyles and the logistics of maintaining businesses, fractures were inevitable. Despite their past problems DiY have amassed a great deal of love and respect for their selfless attitude and contribution to dance music culture and this resurfaced when they held their 25th anniversary party in 2014. FORMATION AND EARLY HISTORY DiY were formed when a group of friends started DJing and holding club nights in Nottingham. Harry had moved from Bolton as a student where he met Rick ‘Digs’ Down, Simon ‘DK’ and other people around the city. Pete ‘Woosh’ was a regular visitor to Nottingham and also later moved down from Bolton.

Introduction There are many beginnings to the history of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). It would be a mistake to exclude the impact that disco had upon house, techno, acid house, and dance music in general. While disco evolved mostly in the dance capital of America (New York), it proposed the idea that danceable songs could be mixed smoothly together, allowing for long term dancing to previously recorded music. Prior to the disco era, nightlife dancing was restricted to bands or jukeboxes, which limited variety and options of songs and genres. The selections of the DJs mattered more than their technical excellence at mixing.

    FEATS 2008 STOCKHOLM 9–12 May pROGRAMME Welcome to Stockholm and FEATS 2008 On behalf of the Stockholm Players it is my pleasure to welcome you to FEATS 2008! The group has been a keen member of the FEATS community for 20 years now, and for many of us the festival has become an annual event. So we are delighted to have the opportu- nity to host the event ourselves and offer its pleasures to you. The City of Stockholm has also shown interest in the festival under the patronage of the Cultural Commissioner, Madeleine Sjöstedt. We are also grateful for the patronage of the British Ambassador to Sweden, the Honourable Andrew Mitchell, himself a former mem- ber of the FEATS community. Planning the festival has been a busy task for us all, but I know I speak for the organis- ing committee of FEATS 2008 in saying that it has been well worth the effort. Now we are looking forward to seeing the productions that the 12 groups will present for us. They will be adjudicated by Colin Dolley of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators who was last seen at FEATS in 2004 in Antwerp. On Monday, May 12th the FEATS baton will be turned over to the FEATS 2009 team of the English Comedy Club in Brussels. We wish them every suc- cess in planning the festival for next year. A word of thanks to our sponsors especially Sickla Köpkvarter. I would also like to thank the members of the FEATS 2008 Committee for their dedication and teamwork without which the event would not have been possible, and to the members of the FEATS Steer- ing Committee for their incredible support to us.

  • Making a Difference: Techno-Punk and Terra-Ism
    Making a Noise – Making a Difference: Techno-Punk and Terra-ism GRAHAM ST JOHN UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Abstract This article charts the convergence of post-punk/post-settler logics in the techno-punk development in Australia. Exploring how punk would become implicated in the cultural politics of a settler society struggling for legitimacy, it maps the ground out of which Labrats sound system (and their hybrid outfit Combat Wombat) arose. It provides an entry to punk through an analysis of the concept of hardcore in the context of cultural mobilisations which, following more than two centuries of European colonisation, evince desires to make reparations and forge alliances with Indigenous people and landscape. To achieve this, the article traces the contours and investigates the implications of Sydney’s techno-punk emergence (as seen in The Jellyheads, Non Bossy Posse, Vibe Tribe and Ohms not Bombs), tracking the mobile and media savvy exploits of 1990s DIY sound systems and techno terra-ists, aesthetes and activists adopting intimate and tactical media technologies, committing to independent and decentralised EDM creativity, and implicated in a movement for legitimate presence.
