Turntable Stories, Gebunden

Klappentext

Turntable Stories is an anthology of stories, memories and histories. It explores global turntable and vinyl record cultures through creative non-fiction forms such as memoir, essays, autoethnography, personal histories and reflection. This book examines experiences of club culture and of bedroom mixing, investigates niche scenes and subcultures and considers how they manifest in global spaces and contexts. It also features the magic of our first turntables or the decks we learnt to mix on. The chapters are broad and cultural as well as specific and personal. These stories are funny, heart-breaking and weird (or all of these things at once). Contributors include DJs, collectors, researchers, scholars and lovers of musical culture. At the heart of the book are narratives that explore our relationships with our decks, what we use them for and how they shape our musical and cultural selfhood.
