Abstract

Electronic music and dance culture is interesting for its journeys through sound and explorations into bodily expression, but also for the numerous sites of cultural activity that have grown up with it or been inspired by its example. Here I draw on the work of theorists including Deleuze and Guattari to present a philosophical discussion of electronic music and dance culture informed by consideration of concrete events, including events I have experienced at first hand.
