en route to deptford to run a pilot workshop about how musicians and music platform coops can build things, coordinate, and learn together with @mirlo.space and @jam.coop - an exciting experiment in grounding online cooperation & distribution in real offline relationships
I'm stepping down after nearly six (!) years of service to the branch, please get in touch with any questions or ideas for contributing and keeping the organisation alive.
Writing opportunity: The DJ Set. Special issue of the journal Dancecult
This call aims to move forward how we understand DJ sets as the musical and social centre of gravity of most electronic dance music scenes.
Deadline 1 June: dj.dancecult.net/index.php/da...
Alongside longer research articles, we're specifically interested in hearing from DJs, folks in nightlife, journalists and independent writers to contribute shorter, blog-style pieces from the field -- the more experimental and media rich the better. Please share widely.
