Turntablism refers to the use of turntables as musical instruments, essentially to alter and manipulate the sound of recorded music. Audio art refers to the arrangement of excerpts of musical selections, fragments of recorded speech, and ‘found sounds’ in unusual and original ways. The following paper outlines past and current difficulties in regulating these newer genres of music. It reports on an examination of programs from 22 community and campus stations across Canada. Given the abstract, experimental, and diverse nature of these programs, it may be difficult to incorporate them into the CRTC’s current music categories and the current MAPL system for Canadian Content. Nonetheless, turntablism and audio art reflect the diversity of Canada’s artistic community.

Hisama, Columbia University As a turntablist, Pinay, poet, feminist, and activist, DJ Kuttin Kandi challenges the sexism manifested in hip hop and popular music by collaborating with other women in her performances, publishing open letters about male-dominated lineups, and speaking critically about controversies such as Day Above Ground’s 2013 song and video “Asian Girlz.”1 In his recent book Filipinos Represent, Anthonio Tiongson Jr. suggests that hip hop DJing provides a site for Filipina DJs to negotiate gender conventions, sexual norms, and familial expectations.2 Kuttin Kandi’s performances are a form of critical authorship that actively engages a politics of the feminist body and are grounded in feminist collaboration. A long-time member of the New York-based DJ crew 5th Platoon, Kandi was the first woman to place in the US finals of the prestigious DMC USA competition in 1998.3 She has toured throughout the US and internationally, performing with distinguished musicians including Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc, Black Eyed Peas, MC Lyte, the Roots, dead prez, Immortal Technique, and Le Tigre. Kandi has been deeply in- volved in cultural advocacy and grassroots political organiza- tions, having worked with Filipino American Human Services and Gabriela Network to fight the sexual exploitation of Filipi- nas, police brutality, and sweatshop labor. While living in New York, she taught the art of turntabling and DJing at the Scratch DJ Academy, and taught spoken word and poetry to high school students at El Puente Leadership Center in Brooklyn.

(San Francisco, CA) — Computers, software and even cell phones have radically altered our relationship to mass culture and technology, providing consumers with the tools to become producers, or “remixers,” of their own media. But long before everyday people began posting their video mash-ups on the Web, hip-hop musi- cians perfected the art of audio montage through a sport they called “sampling.” COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS, a documentary produced by Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod, examines the creative and commer- cial value of musical sampling, including the ongoing debates about artistic expression, copyright law and (of course) money. The film will premiere nationally on the Emmy® Award–winning PBS documentary series Independent Lens, hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, on Tuesday, January 19 at 10 p.m. (check local listings). For more than 30 years, as hip-hop evolved from the urban streets of New York to its current status as a mul- tibillion-dollar industry, performers and producers have been reusing portions of previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions.

Article Filipino Hip-Hop Contemporary culture has traditional roots For the complete article with media resources, visit: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/news/filipino-hip-hop/ BY MARY SCHONS Friday, October 29, 2010 May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Filipino Americans are the second-largest group of people with Asian ancestry. (Chinese Americans have a larger population.) Ancestors of Filipino Americans come from the Philippines, a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Filipino American identity has been connected to hip-hop culture for many years. Filipino hip-hop includes mobile DJs, turntablism, and Pilipino Culture Nights (PCNs). Musical History The Philippines was a colony of the United States from 1898 to 1946. American culture had a profound impact on that country, influencing government, social institutions, and musical tastes. Disco, funk, and Motown soul music, popular on American military bases, found their way onto local radio stations. Eventually, so did rap. During the 20th century, many Filipinos immigrated to the United States in search of better jobs. Filipinos and their families in the United States continued to share music. Filipinos and Filipino Americans would trade rap albums, tapes, and CDs back and forth across the Pacific Ocean, either in person or through the mail. (In recent years, the Internet has made this exchange happen much faster.) Filipino Americans were some of the first people to experiment with mobile DJ crews in the 1960s and 1970s.

These artists share musical narratives exploring their working-class immigrant experiences as well as the impact of colonization in the Philippines. Outside of music, these artists often engage in community organizing and activism, but few scholars have explored hip hop's effect within these spaces. Recently, a younger generation of Filipino American youth actively make use of hip hop in community organizations and activist groups.

The Institutionalization of Hip-Hop Djing Education
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository CONTINUING THE QUEST FOR LEGITIMACY: THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF HIP-HOP DJING EDUCATION Megan Ross A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Musicology in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Mark Katz Andrea Bohlman Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Megan Ross ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan Ross: Continuing the Quest for Legitimacy: The Institutionalization of Hip-Hop DJing Education (Under the direction of Mark Katz) Since the early 2000s, many hip-hop DJs have taken on teaching roles in educational institutions, whether in secondary schools, universities, or for-profit ventures. This thesis explores this development as part of an ongoing quest for legitimacy within hip-hop and the broader world and also as a response to the increasing dominance of digital technologies. Teaching offers DJs the opportunity to preserve their foundational values of innovation, experimentation, and personalization. Their approach tends to be fundamentally multimodal, emphasizing the use of sight, sound, and touch to demonstrate the artistry necessary to becoming a DJ. There are many benefits to formal education, such as bringing about gender equality in the field, as well as concerns related to standardization and authenticity of pedagogical methods based on informal learning traditions. My study is more broadly relevant to popular music institutionalization, authenticity debates in hip-hop education, and informal and formal approaches to learning music.
