BIBLIOGRAPHY TO ENERGY FLASH a.k.a. GENERATION ECSTASY

For space reasons the bibliography has been left out of the updated/expanded 2008 edition of Energy Flash. For those who feel the absence here it is, with the addition of a section at the end on significant and useful books and articles on rave/techno/electronic music that have been published in the ten years since Energy Flash/Generation Ecstasy first came out. This is a work in progress and will be added to regularly. Suggestions for books, magazine articles, and online work/resources/etc are welcomed.

A SELECTION OF BOOKS AND ARTICLES PUBLISHED AFTER ENERGY FLASH'S ORIGINAL RELEASE

1/ BOOKS

Mireille Scott, Rave America: Inside Club Culture (ECW Press, 2000)

Entertaining and well-researched history of rave culture in North America. Journalistic rather than theoretical/critical, it does for the New World what Matthew Collin's Altered State did for Blighty. The 'North America,' as opposed to USA, is a crucial distinction, as one of the best chapters is on the nuttily Anglophile scene in Toronto, long this continent's bastion of all things ardkore and jungalistic.

Tim Lawrence, Love Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture, 1970-1979 (Durham, North Carolina: Duke University Press, October 2003)

Fascinating and highly detailed history of the 1970s disco underground-- house music's prehistory, in other words. Look out also for Lawrence's forthcoming critical biography of Arthur Russell.

Peter Shapiro, Turn the Beat Around: The Secret History of Disco (London: Faber & Faber, 2006)

A good complement to Lawrence's scholarly and New York-centric book, with which it overlaps somewhat, Shapiro's chronicle is broader-ranging both geographically and timespan-wise (e.g. fascinating stuff on the early 80s Northern Italy 'cosmic' scene) and is also more vividly written while being no less authoritative and trainspotter-friendly in terms of esoteric facts.

Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton, Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey (New York: Grove, 2000; revised 2006)

B&B are house bods, so you don't get much on rave or indeed techno in this volume (it's like Energy Flash inverted, in fact). But this a knowledgeable, entertaining and affable history of the disco-house continuum, particularly strong on club culture before Ibiza-acieeed-XTC.(Exhaustively strong, with a long collection of famous DJ fave track playlists from various legendary NYC clubs of the 70s and early 80s). Brewster & Broughton also wrote a useful manual on the craft of deejaying, How to DJ Right: The Art and Science of Playing Records (Grove, 2003), if this had come out before we had kids I might even have taken the plunge and bought a second Technics…

Dave Haslam, Adventures on the Wheels of Steel: The Rise of the Superstar DJs (London: Harper UK 2002)

Useful book about the rise to hegemony of deejays in UK pop culture by Hacienda deejay and author (see also his Manchester, England history which naturally covers Madchester and baggy with an insider's perspective)

Peter Shapiro (editor) Modulations: A History of Electronic Music: Throbbing Words on Sound. (New York: Caipirinha Productions/D.A.P, 2000.)
Spanning the genrescape from musique concrete to trip hop and all points in between, an attractively designed compendium of essays by David Toop, Kodwo Eshun (a particularly good one, on house music), Rob Young, Tony Marcus, Kurt Reighley, Mike Rubin, Chris Sharp, yours truly (on Krautrock), and editor Peter Shapiro. "Throbbing" might be a bit strong but a jolly good read nonetheless.

Jeremy Gilbert and Ewan Pearson,Discographies: Dance Music Culture and the Politics of Sound (London: Routledge, 1999)

The best academic treatment of techno and rave culture I've come across--wide-ranging, theoretically probing, and lively and approachable in style. Pearson incidentally went on to prove equally adept at praxis as theory, becoming a well-respected deejay and remixer and in 2007 released his very fine contribution to Fabric's series of dj mix-CDs (Fabric 35).

Michel Gaillot, Multiple Meaning: Techno: An Artistic and Political Laboratory of the Present (Editions Dis Voir).

Thought-provoking and elegantly written… monograph, I think you'd have to say (121 pages)by philosopher and art critic Gaillot, whose basic argument, crudely simplified, is that rave culture is not apolitical so much as pre-political, a reversion to primordial forms of sociality that only works because people check their ideologies at the door along with their coats.

Kodwo Eshun, More Brilliant Than The Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction (Quartet, 1997).

Named after the sample in Origin Unknown's "Valley of the Shadows" aka "Long Dark Tunnel"!!! I have plenty of disagreements with Eshun's stance (see reviews here -- and I do think it's problematic that he never defines the "blackness", even the "post-essentialist blackness", that flickers in and out of the argument like a sort of spectral-rhetorical presence that conjures a vague counter-hegemonic edginess). But there's no denying that this is a supremely potent countervision to the sociohistorical approach nearly everybody else takes, mashing down all opposition less through argument than through the delirial intensity of the prose. Strong stuff.

Some of the most provocative and intoxciating work in a post-K.Eshun vein was done by the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, aka CCRU, who aimed to do for crit theory what breakbeat science did for rhythm. Deleuze goes darkside, their uncontrollable textual spew--monographs, pamphlets, essays, prose poems, fictions--are probably impossible to get hold of in hard-copy form, but check out the CCRU website and the cluster of sites connected from it. In fact go here for the digital versions of pieces in their Abstract Culture journal series.

O[rphan] D[frift>], Cyberpositive.

Self-published book of prose-poetical theory-delirium exploring intermeshcape between cyberpunk and technokulture, sampling heavily from appropriate philosophers and allies like Sadie Plant and Nick Land (of CCRU fame) weaving that with their own sadomasochistic evocations of extreme experiences at the cutting edges of the drug-tech interface. More info here

Also on the web, Drew Hemment's unpublished thesis Microgroove: simulation/amplification/intoxication , recommended by Jeremy Gilbert as
"the best example of a thoroughgoing Deleuzian study of dance music"

Jeremy also recommends Maria Pini's Club Cultures and Female Subjectivity (Palgrave 2001)-- which is available online here and Alexander Weheliye's Phonographies: Grooves in Sonic Afro-modernity (Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2005) which as the title suggests is some black sonic fictionalist biznizz in a post-KEshun style.

Arun Saldanha, Psychedelic White: Goa Trance and the Viscosity of Race (University of Minnesota Press, 2007)

Only just got this so not had time to do more than flick'n'skim, but having spoken at length with the author--a professor of geography at the University of Minnesota--when I was over for the Spark electronic music festival in Minneapolis, this looks to be a fascinating and provocative study of psy-trance and the phenomenon of rave tourism, based on field research in Goa, pursuing lines of analysis both postcolonial and DeleuzoGuattarian, and containing some shocking revelations about trancepackers and their exploitative relations with the local people.

Richard Benson (ed). Night Fever: Club Writing in The Face 1980-1997. London: Boxtree, 1997.

Useful compendium of journalistic reports and opinion pieces on club culture and dance music from the style Bible, albeit with not that much on rave (the Face's idea of dance culture was always geared to the Eighties nightclub ethos), but lots of good pieces including stuff by the late great Gavin Hills, whose own writings can be found in Bliss to Be Alive: The Collected Journalism of Gavin Hills (a posthumous anthology from 2000).

Tobias Rapp, Lost and Sound: Berlin, Techno und der Easyjetset Suhrkamp (Frankfurt und Main, 2009).

A fascinating study of the phenomenon of raver tourism in Berlin. Ultra-cheap air fares from Easyjet and Ryan Air et al have created this sort of Euroraver class, who fly into Berlin, don't bother with booking a hotel because they're not planning on doing any sleeping, and instead spend the money they save on partying hard . An entire micro-economy has sprung up to cater to these weekend warriors flying in from every corner of the Continent. As yet available only in German, although it looks likely there will be an English translation.

Graham St John e.d., FreeNRG: Notes from the Edge of the Dance Floor (Melbourne: The Humanities)

DISCOGRAPHY TO ENERGY FLASH a.k.a. GENERATION ECSTASY

The expanded/updated 2008 edition of Energy Flash does not contain the Discography in the original 1998 version. Partly this was for reasons of space, but also because during the ten years since the book came out, the unevenness of the original discography became steadily more apparent, and the idea of rectifying that (let alone expanding it to cover the last decade) made me go all weak at the knees. I also felt that there is such a vast amount of thorough discographic material on the web nowadays -- Discogs, obviously, but just about every genre and sub-style of dance music has its unstintingly meticulous and comprehensive discographers at work -- that I felt it was redundant to include a discography, especially one so partial and slanted to my own tastes. Still, for those
those who feel the absence, here is the original discography.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Notes:

1/ Damn near every record mentioned in the text is included here, plus a good many that weren't but are nontheless either important or worth hearing. The discography is divided up according to the chapters of the book, and their corresponding genres/eras.

2/ Flipside or EP tracks are listed if i/ no A-side was given priority or ii/ if the track is especially excellent or notable. Specific mixes are noted if appropriate.

3/ Within any individual artist's oeuvre, the releases are listed in chronological order.

4/ Single artist albums, including anthologies of that artist's work, are listed alongside the single and EP releases; genre compilations and DJ mix-CD's are listed at the end of each chapter or subsection, and listed in order of excellence (the best, or most useful introduction to that genre, comes first).

5/ DJ names are alphabetized according to their second, defining name -- e.g. DJ Hype is under 'H'.

6/ If the artist name is a pseudonym or alter-ego, the artist's real name or most well-known alter-ego is listed in parentheses. Exceptions are when an artist is the focus of a subsection: then the whole oevre is listed together, with alter-egos in alphabetical order.

7/ The releases are not dated, unless the release date diverges drastically from the timespan of that chapter.
