Also, discovered the website Dancecult so thanks to Gavana and Anaya for this discovery.
in Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture
“As we have seen, the authors included in this collection approach DJ culture from various critical perspectives that manage to challenge laymen’s beliefs and media accounts, which are often inaccurate even when they don’t take either of the two extreme forms of moral panics or glorification.”
“To conclude, this is a collection of (mostly) original contributions that succeeds in capturing the dynamic nature of both DJ culture and EDM.”
