Dance Music Spaces: Clubs, Clubbers, and Djs Navigating Authenticity, Branding, and Commercialism - Paperback
Details
by Danielle Antoinette Hidalgo (Author)
Dance Music Spaces examines the production of physical and digital spaces in dance music, and how the players--clubs, clubbers, and DJs--use authenticity, branding, and commercialism to navigate them. An in-depth study into three women DJs--The Blessed Madonna, Honey Dijon, and Peggy Gou--reveals a new concept, "authenticity maneuvering." In it Danielle Hidalgo exposes how the strategic use of a rave ethos both bolsters acceptance in dance music spaces and hides often problematic commercial practices. This timely, thoughtful, and deeply personal book presents a compelling analysis of the complicated interplay between dancing bodies, digital practices, and spatial offerings in contemporary dance music.
