DJ History
So wie Kinder und Jugendliche früher einmal Polizist oder Feuerwehrmann werden wollten, so wird der Traumberuf des DJs in der heutigen Zeit immer populärer. Dieses Buch widmet sich der Kunst des Musik-Auflegens und der Bedeutung des DJs in der heutigen Musikbranche. Dabei werden retrospektive die Wichtigkeit der DJs in der Entstehungszeit von Disco, Hip Hop und Techno, sowie dem glamorösen Weg zum allgemeinen Pop-Phänomen beleuchtet. Welch großen Einfluss der DJ auf den Musikgeschmack seines Publikums hat, ist unbestreitbar. Doch was macht einen guten DJ überhaupt aus? Und welchen Beitrag haben Print-, Radio-, TV- und Soziale Medien bei der Entwicklung zum Superstar-Status gespielt? Und auch wenn der DJ keine "handgemachte" Musik auf der Bühne präsentiert, so ist er doch ein mittlerweile unverzichtbarer Bestandteil von Clubs, Diskotheken und Festivals geworden. Und die Reise geht noch weiter...
Hip Hop Africa
"Hip Hop Africa explores a new generation of Africans who are not only consumers of global musical currents, but also active and creative participants. Eric Charry and an international group of contributors look carefully at youth culture and the explosion of hip hop in Africa, the embrace of other contemporary genres, including reggae, ragga, and gospel music, and the continued vitality of drumming. Covering Senegal, Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and South Africa, this volume offers unique perspectives on the presence and development of hip hop and other music in Africa and their place in global music culture."--Publisher description.
Assimilate
More extreme than punk, industrial music revolted against the very ideas of order and reason. This book traces industrial music's attitudes and practices from their earliest articulations-a hundred years ago-through the genre's mid-1970s formation and beyond.

Hip Hop DJs and the Evolution of Technology
Using interviews with world-renowned and innovative hip-hop DJs, as well as technology manufacturers that cater to the market/culture, this book reveals stories behind some of the iconic DJ technologies that have helped shape the history and culture of DJing. More importantly, it explores how DJs have impacted the evolution of technology. By looking at the networks of innovation behind DJ technologies, this book problematizes the notion of the individual genius and the concept of invention. Developing a theory of «technocultural synergism, » this book attempts to detail the relationship between culture and industry through the manipulation, exchange, and rights associated with intellectual property. While the subject of hip-hop and intellectual property has already been well explored, this is the first time that hip-hop DJs have been conceptualized as intellectual property because of their role in the R&D and branding of DJ products. The book also addresses the impact of digital technology on the democratization of DJ culture, as well as how new digital DJ technology has affected the recorded music market.
The Dozens
Following his groundbreaking explorations of the blues and American popular music in Escaping the Delta and How the Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll, Elijah Wald turns his attention to the tradition of African American street rhyming and verbal combat that ruled urban neighborhoods long before rap: the viciously funny, outrageously inventive insult game called "the dozens."At its simplest, the dozens is a comic concatenation of "yo' mama" jokes. At its most complex, it is a form of social interaction that reaches back to African ceremonial rituals. Whether considered vernacular poetry, verbal dueling, a test of street cool, or just a mess of dirty insults, the dozens has been a basic building...
Camion Blanc
« Industriel » est une épithète que les fans et les critiques appliquent à une grande variété de musiques - le battement sur des bidons de Einstürzende Neubauten, le grognement électronique de Throbbing Gristle, le cliquetis rythmique en boucle de Skinny Puppy et les compositions synthpop de VNV Nation, pour ne citer que quelques groupes. Mais l'ampleur stylistique et la longévité de cette contre-culture musicale suggèrent que le terrain commun pourrait bien ne pas être un son particulier, mais plutôt un réseau d'idéologies. Ce livre retrace les attitudes et les pratiques de la musique industrielle, depuis ses premières articulations - il y a cent ans -, durant les années p...
