Clubbing Dancing, Ecstasy and Vitality, by Ben Malbon CLUBBING Clubbing: Dancing, Ecstasy and Vitality explores the cultures and spaces of clubbing. Divided into three sections— ‘The beginnings’, ‘The night out’ and ‘Reflections’ —Clubbing includes first-hand accounts of clubbing experiences, framed within the relevant research and a review of clubbing in late 1990s Britain. Malbon focuses particularly on the unwritten codes of social interaction among clubbers, the powerful effects of music and the role of ecstasy, clubbing as a playful act but also as a form of resistance or vitality, and personal interpretations of clubbing experiences. Offering an informative and intimate insight into the world of clubbing and the experiences of clubbers, this book presents a clear academic framework for study in this field and will also be relevant to those interested in popular and contemporary youth cultures more generally. Ben Malbon is an Account Planner in an advertising agency. Previously, he completed his Ph.D. on clubbing at University College London.

(Charles Baudelaire, 1964) The Tunnel Club1, Saturday night, summer 19972 8 p.m.—Oxford Circus tube station, West End, London It was balmy and still light, and very very busy. There he was. Seb, wearing velvet trousers and a very bright velvet shirt, as he had promised. We shook hands. I was excited, he was excited, but I could tell that he was tense about the evening; I’m certain he could tell the same about me. He said I looked good and I was relieved as I’d not known quite what to wear. He mentioned how odd it was to be going out clubbing with me, a complete stranger, and I said the feeling was mutual and that kind of let us both relax a bit. This was in some ways a completely artificial situation—we were both strangers to each other—but I had good vibes anyway. We went round the corner into Kingley Street to Brasserie Breton and grabbed a few beers, chatting, taking up where we’d left off ten days previously when we’d met in a bar at Euston. The whole thing was a little nervous to begin with—Seb’s a great story teller and I suppose nerves and beer combined mean that once you start talking you just carry on. On our way to the club…I was beginning to feel comfortable, like I was with a regular clubbing buddy. Seb turned to me and said (and I still remember this vividly), ‘Ben, the difference between this and an ordinary night is that if you don’t like it, it’s tough! You’ll have to rough it out, whereas if I was with a clubber mate, then I’d leave if he wasn’t enjoying it. But tonight is MY night!’ Back to work… ix PREFACE 11 p.m.—The Tunnel Club, queuing outside What a feeling. Excitement, expectation, apprehension, tension. We started queuing at 10.30 p.m. and were about fifty people back from the front. By the time 11.00 p.m. came, we were relatively near the front of a large queue of about 200 clubbers. There was a definite nervousness or edginess to the atmosphere. We met Seb’s friends in the queue and they were cool and really friendly. Suddenly the ‘club host’ came out and shouted something like this: Okay kids, as you know, we operate a really strict door policy at The Tunnel. We know the kind of party people that we want— the guys are all Elvis and the girls are all Marilyn. So I don’t want you to get too down if we don’t let you in—we’ve got a lot of experience of knowing what party people are like. If, when you get to the front of the queue, we ask you to sing a little Elvis song or something like that, then show us what a party person you really are, okay? Great. As usual, I was getting a little worried that I wouldn’t get in at this stage. Meanwhile, two six-foot transvestites were walking up and down the queue— occasionally one of them would ride a kid’s chopper bike—talking and flirting with the clubbers. To be honest, I think more people were worried about actually getting in than whether the people inside were ‘party people’ —the whole thing certainly seemed designed to create an aura of exclusivity. Anyway, we got to the front and Seb started chatting and joking with the host guy. Needless to say, we got in without difficulty after that—I’d have to save my version of ‘In the Ghetto’ for another day. Midnight—in the club Seb said that he wanted to show me as normal a night as possible, although I knew this would not be completely possible. So, anyway, we set off to meet the staff, which was always the first thing that he did when he arrived at clubs. I felt like Ray Liotta’s girlfriend in Goodfellas (well, kind of anyway). Everyone we met, it was: ‘I’d like you to meet my friend Ben’, ‘This is a good friend of mine, Ben’ and so on. Everyone was friendly and seemed to know Seb. We went to the loo and there was a guy in there specifically stationed next to the sink to put soap on your hands for you and wipe them afterwards. There was a selection of dozens of aftershaves and face creams that you could use if you felt the need. I’d always thought of this as the height of tack, but Seb actually knew the guy so that changed the way I looked at him—he was just a regular guy. These introductions were a really excellent thing for Seb to do—everyone seemed to remember him—and I felt both safe and lucky x PREFACE to be out with him. Really lucky. And yes, like everyone else who was there, I was getting fairly excited about the coming night. Inside, the club was quite slick—a ‘proper’ club as opposed to the dingy cellars that are often the venues for London club nights. Three floors: a basement playing funk, hip hop and kind of easy stuff. Also a cloakroom, loos and a sweet shop down there. The middle floor had a grand foyer and huge staircase, permanently covered with people sitting, chatting, smoking, looking, moving. There was a big dance floor with a balcony all around (effectively the third floor). The balcony had big leather sofas and another bar. The DJ booth was behind a kind of elevated altar-like mixing desk and the music was full-on house, with the odd bit of garage. The whole club was dark, very dimly lit, though there were plenty of UV lights. No strobes. Tiny bit of smoke, not enough to have any real effect. About 500 people, 90 per cent white, mostly aged between 18–26 I guess. The clubbing crowd seemed relatively uniform—to the extent that many of the clubbers actually seemed to be wearing a uniform. Everyone was very dressed up: nearly all the guys had shirts and trousers on (jeans and trainers were not allowed at all). Most of the women wore very little—short skirts, vests, bikini tops, tans, gurning grins… Later that night Seb and his friends had taken their first E at about 11.30 p.m. and by 12.30 p.m. a few of them had taken their second. They weren’t happy. The pills appeared to be duds. The placebo effect had lifted them all for a while, but they were no beginners and soon knew that nothing was happening. Seb rushed off to get some more pills and came back about thirty seconds later—no problem, sorted. By 12.30 p.m. the club was full and the music was getting progressively louder. I tried to leave Seb and his friends to ‘come up’ on their pills alone so they didn’t feel too much like lab rats under observation. I wandered. I suppose of all the areas within the club, the music downstairs was most to my liking. The highlight of my hour or so alone down there was a long and very loud version of Massive Attack’s ‘Unfinished Sympathy’, which always sounds sensational on a large PA.

(2020) reported an average of 5 to 17 coughs during the 30-min exhaled breath collection for virus-infected participants (10). Taking the particle size distribution given in Fig. 2, we calculate that one person can emit a total number of 9.31e5 to 2.72e6 particles in a 30 min sampling period. Note that particles > 100 µm were not considered here, and the volume concentrations of particles in the “droplet” mode (2.44e-4 mL, with 4.29e-5 to 2.45e-3 mL in 5% to 95% confidence level) overwhelm those in the “aerosol” mode (7.68e-7 mL, with 3.37e-7 to 5.24e-6 mL in 5% to 95% confidence level). S2. Virus concentration in Leung et al. (2020) Many samples in Leung et al. (2020) return a virus load signal below the detection limit (10). Thus we adopted an alternative approach, using the statistical distribution, i.e., percentage of positive cases, to calculate the virus concentration. Assuming that samples containing more than 2 viruses (Leung et al., 2020 used 100.3# as undetectable values in their statistical analysis) can be detected and the virus number in the samples follows a Poisson distribution, the fraction of positive samples (containing at least 3 viruses) can be calculated with pre-assumed virus concentration per particle volume.

  • 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.

Abu Sa cid's name is , or rather was , usually connecte d wit h th e first examples of Persian mystical poetry. He is the alleged author of a number o f poem s in which the ruba'i, quatrain, with it s rhyme scheme a a x a, is used as a vehicle for mystical thought. We ca n b e quite sure that none of the quatrains formerly attributed t o him are actually his ; according t o hi s ow n statement , his love-intoxicate d teacher Bishr ibn Yasin was the author o f such verses—a genre tha t later became very popular. 20 A true representative of early Sufi poetry in quatrains, thoug h i n a popular meter and vernacular speech, is Baba Tahir, who died i n Khorramabad in the first part of the eleventh century. 21 Abu Sa cid passed away in 1049 . It is said that on his deathbed h e bestowed his khirqa t o Ahmad-i Jam Zandapil , who was just abou t to be born.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.
