Energy Flash : A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture
Rave Music & Dance Culture - Book - by Simon Reynolds
(2013)
Thirty-five
years since acid house and Ecstasy revolutionized pop culture, Simon
Reynolds's landmark rave history Energy Flash has been expanded and
updated to cover twenty-first-century developments like dubstep and
EDM's recent takeover of America. Author of the acclaimed postpunk
history Rip It Up and Start Again, Reynolds became a rave convert in the
early nineties. He experienced first-hand the scene's drug-fuelled
rollercoaster of euphoria and darkness.
He
danced at Castlemorton, the illegal 1992 mega-rave that sent spasms of
anxiety through the Establishment and resulted in the Criminal Justice
and Public Order Bill. Mixing personal reminiscence with interviews and
ultra-vivid description of the underground's ever-changing sounds as
they mutated under the influence of MDMA and other drugs, Energy Flash
is the definitive chronicle of electronic dance culture. From rave's
origins in Chicago house and Detroit techno, through Ibiza, Madchester
and the anarchic free-party scene, to the pirate-radio underworld of
jungle and UK garage, and then onto 2000s-shaping genres such as grime
and electro, Reynolds documents with authority, insight and infectious
enthusiasm the tracks, DJs, producers and promoters that soundtracked a
generation.
A
substantial final section, added for this new Faber edition, brings the
book right up to date, covering dubstep's explosive rise to mass
popularity and America's recent but ardent embrace of rave. Packed with
interviews with participants and charismatic innovators like Derrick
May, Goldie and Aphex Twin, Energy Flash is an infinitely entertaining
and essential history of dance music.
