The DJ stands at a juncture of technology, performance and culture in the
increasingly uncertain climate of the popular music industry, functioning
both as pioneer of musical taste and gatekeeper of the music industry.
Together with promoters, producers, video jockeys (VJs) and other
professionals in dance music scenes, DJs have pushed forward music
techniques and technological developments in last few decades, from mashups
and remixes to digital systems for emulating vinyl performance modes. This
book is the outcome of international collaboration among academics in the
study of electronic dance music. Mixing established and upcoming
researchers from the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria, Sweden,
Australia and Brazil, the collection offers critical insights into DJ
activities in a range of global dance music contexts. In particular,
chapters address digitization and performativity, as well as issues
surrounding the gender dynamics and political economies of DJ cultures and
practices.

Reviews:

"DJ Culture in the Mix offers not only a broader picture than the standard
monolithic account, but a refreshingly different type of picture - a cubist
approach, with a dozen viewpoints thrown unpredictably together.... (It)
might not be a definitive statement on DJing or danceculture, but it's a
timely representation of just how broad the subject is - and should be" -
Adam Harper for The Wire, April 2014, p 76.

"There are good books on dance clubs and dance music, but this is the first
volume on the figure of the dance music DJ and it is most welcome. DJ
Culture in the Mix is well-organized, up-to-date and genuinely
international, and brings together many of the leading figures in dance
music studies. Highly recommended” - Prof Will Straw, 2013.

"Exploring everything from the fractious taste politics of New York gay
clubland during the post-disco eighties to the cult of speed in 21st
Century drum ‘n’ bass, DJ Culture in the Mix is a collection of probing,
insightful essays that will provide stimulation and enlightenment for dance
music scholars and dance music fans alike” - Simon Reynolds, 2013.
