New journal about electronic dance culture

Dancecult is a new “academic”-style journal about “electronic dance music culture.” It reminds me of the kinds of books about technology and postmodernism that I’d impulse buy in the early 1990s. Of course, I’d only make it through three pages before cracking open the new issue of Hate or Eightball. But at least the covers and titles were fascinating! Here are the featured articles in the first issue of Dancecult:

IDM as a “Minor” Literature: The Treatment of Cultural and Musical Norms by “Intelligent Dance Music”
