[...] The last time I was in Berlin, I actually did not spend as much time out listening to music as I should have. I think I was turned off by the amount of US music on the German radio, and the prominence of international touring acts on the rosters of the most heavily advertised venues in the city, and hastily concluded that the mus … Read More [...]

It’s always lovely to hear another account of partying in Berghain, especially from someone who can capture striking details and the broader affective atmosphere in the constrained space of an anecdote. I feel you about the marathon-like undertaking that is partying in Berlin (and *especially* in Berghain); of course, those experiences of ordeal and exertion are part of what makes these nights memorable. If you haven’t tried it already, I definitely recommend taking a disco-nap from 10pm to 6am, and then hitting Berghain early Sunday morning. Less of a line, you’ll arrive all fresh and full of a nutritious breakfast, and then you can stay dancing until late Sunday night without feeling completely destroyed. Things can get magical (or tragic, or absurd) when you stay late.

I also really appreciate your words on minimal techno/house being much more than “thud thud thud,” despite the kinaesthetic importance of bass percussion to the dancing experience. I recently came across a brief line from Steven Friedson’s /Remains of Ritual/ (http://remainsofritual.com/), where he describes the repetition of percussion riffs in Ewe /brekete/ worship rituals as creating a stacking effect that entails a “thickening and simultaneously an opening up of sonic space” (115). I really like the idea that repetition is experientially accumulative and creates a sort of “standing wave of intense motion” (ibid.). There’s so much to be said for the richness of timbre and sound-color, too…

[...] This new post by Tavia Nyong’o is hot off the blog
presses and cross-posted on both Bully Bloggers and Hear is Queer
(Nyong’o’s blog). Aside from being thematically
related to my own blog, I find this post to be pretty stylistically
useful. Don’t worry if you didn’t know what the
10th Annual EMP Pop Conference was; I didn’t either.
