Dhanveer Singh Brar makes the case for Black electronic dance music as the cutting-edge aesthetic project of the diaspora, which due to the music's class character makes it possible to reorganize life within the contemporary city. Closely analysing the Footwork scene in South and West Chicago, the Grime scene in East London, and the output of the South London producer Actress, Brar pays attention to the way each of these critically acclaimed musical projects experiments with aesthetic form through an experimentation of the social. Through explicitly theoretical means, Brar foregrounds the sonic specificity of 12" records, EPs, albums, radio broadcasts, and recorded performances to make the case that Footwork, Grime, and Actress dissolve racialized spatial constraints that are thought to surround Black social life. Pushing the critical debates concerning the phonic materiality of Blackness, undercommons, and aesthetic sociality in new directions, Brar rethinks these concepts through concrete examples of contemporary Black electronic dance music production that allows for a theorization of the way Footwork, Grime, and Actress have-through their experiments in Blackness-generated genuine alternatives to the functioning of the city under financialized racial capitalism."--$cprovided by distributor. 410 0$aGoldsmiths Press sonics series. 606 $aCity planning 606 $aElectronic music 606 $aHearing 606 $aSound 606 $aElectronic music$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00907363 606 $aHearing$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00953374 606 $aSound$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01126935 606 $aUrbanism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862177 608 $aDiscursive works 608 $aCritical Writing.$2fast 615 10$aCity planning. 615 10$aElectronic music. 615 10$aHearing. 615 10$aSound. 615 17$aElectronic music. 615 17$aHearing. 615 17$aSound. 615 17$aUrbanism. 676 $a781.7296005 700 $aBrar$b Dhanveer Singh$01359825 702 $aTanaka$b Atau 712 02$aLibrary Stack (Organization), 801 0$bNYHLS 801 1$bNYHLS 852 $aNYHLS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910725065603321 996 $aTeklife, Ghettoville, Eski$93374943 997 $aUNINA
