Almost as soon as 'club culture' took hold - during the UK's Second Summer of Love in 1988 - its sociopolitical impact became clear, with journalists, filmmakers and authors all keen to use this cultural context as source material for their texts. This book uses that electronic music subculture as a route into an analysis of these principally literary representations of a music culture: why such secondary artefacts appear and what function they serve. The book conceives of a new literary genre to accommodate these stories born of the dancefloor - 'dancefloor-driven literature'. Using interviews with Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting (1994), alongside other dancefloor-driven authors Nicholas Blincoe and Jeff Noon as case studies, the book analyzes three separate ways writers draw on electronic dance music in their fictions, interrogating that very particular intermedial intersection between the sonic and the linguistic. It explores how such authors write about something so subterranean as the nightclub scene, and analyses what specific literary techniques they deploy to write lucidly and fluidly about the metronomic beat of electronic music and the chemical accelerant that further alters that relationship.

This book offers an examination of Jeff Noon’s iconoclastic debut novel, Vurt (1993). In this first book-length study of the novel, which includes an extended interview with Noon, Wenaus considers how Vurt complicates the process of literary canonization, its constructivist relationship to genre, its violent and oneiric setting of Manchester, its use of the Orphic myth as an archetype for the practice of literary collage and musical remix, and how the structural paradoxes of chaos and fractal geometry inform the novel’s content, form, and theme. Finally, Wenaus makes the case for Vurt’s ongoing relevance in the 21st century, an era increasingly characterized by neuro-totalitarianism, psychopolitics, and digital surveillance. With Vurt, Noon begins his project of rupturing feedback loops of control by breaking narrative habits and embracing the contingent and unpredictable. An inventive, energetic, and heartbreaking novel, Vurt is also an optimistic and heartfelt call for artists to actively create open futures.

These are stories about the most important people at raves, the ones on the dancefloor, the ones who buy the tickets, and the ones who are often forgotten amongst the hype. It is for people who claim that their era was the greatest, as well as those who are learning that their era is the best. They encompass all facets of rave culture, such as sex, drugs, and techno. The panic-inducing fear that many rave excursions bring holds it all together. Each story is set in a different era, scenario, location, and mood, with a range of writing styles. This book's about not getting into Berghain, it's sneaking drugs into clubs, it's losing your mates at a festival and it's about the little things that make the dancefloor a special place.

In the summer of 1989, when Trip City was first released with a soundtrack by A Guy Called Gerald, there had been no other British novel like it. This was the down and dirty side of London nightclubs, dance music and the kind of hallucinogenic drug sub-culture that hadn’t really been explored since Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Maybe this is why Trip City is still known as “the acid house novel” and an underground literary landmark. A nightclub promoter returns to town and is thrown into an insidious world of designer drugs, psychosis and murder. Filled with mind-bending hallucinogenic moments, Trip City by Trevor Miller veers into the realm of Alphaville and neo-noir of the French new wave.

This book is about the kind of ordinary dancing you and I might do in our kitchens when a favourite tune comes on. It's more than a social history: it's a set of interconnected histories of the overlooked places where dancing happens . . . Why do we dance together? What does dancing tells us about ourselves, individually and collectively? And what can it do for us? Whether it be at home, '80s club nights, Irish dancehalls or reggae dances, jungle raves or volunteer-run spaces and youth centres, Emma Warren has sought the answers to these questions her entire life. Dancing doesn't just refract the music and culture within which it evolves; it also generates new music and culture. When we speak only of the music, we lose part of the story - the part that finds us dancing as children on the toes of adults; the half that triggers communication across borders and languages; the part that finds us worried that we'll never be able to dance again, and the part that finds us wondering why we were ever nervous in the first place. At the intersection of memoir, social and cultural history, Dance Your Way Home is an intimate foray onto the dancefloor - wherever and whenever it may be - that speaks to the heart of what it is that makes us move.

DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM: Land Of The Free, Home Of The Rave is the spectacular visual storytelling of when the rave scene brought electronic music up from obscurity, and changed the way America looked at dance music forever. Written by rave super-insider Michael Tullberg, the book takes the reader back to the halcyon days of the U.S. rave underground in the 1990s, when the seeds of modern-day EDM were sown. Photographing and writing for the major dance music magazines of the day, Tullberg amassed an enormous collection of photos, live reviews, interviews, rave memorabilia and ephemera over the years. It is this collection that forms the basis for this book. DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM takes the reader into the very heart of the rave scene, when these controversial parties hosted the hottest and most cutting-edge dance music in the country. It gives you VIP, backstage and on-stage access with the biggest electronic music talent in the world, including dance music legends like Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Moby, Fat Boy Slim and more. The first book of its kind in the U.S., DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM pulls back the curtain and captures this cultural explosion as it shot across the country, converting millions into fans of electronic music. A must-have for any fan of music or pop culture, the book is a time warp back to a time of magical nights and miraculous rhythms.
