  • Emerging oral history of a (still) under appreciated genre

    It’s crazy to me that in 2024 there still hasn’t been more significant scholarship about the history of dance and electronic music and culture in the United States. This podcast is providing an indispensable record direct from the mouth of the people who were there and created this art form and institutions. they won’t be with us forever, and God knows that too many are already gone too soon.
