Paperback. A nocturnal journey through local histories of clubbing in Africa and EuropeThe image of the DJ dragging his record case through international "non-places" and deejaying in clubs around the globe is a contemporary cliche. But these club scenes have rich, geographically differentiated local histories and cultures. This book expands the focus beyond the North Atlantic clubbing axis of Detroit-Chicago-Manchester-Berlin. It looks at ten club capitals in Africa and Europe, reporting on different scenes in Bristol, Johannesburg, Cairo, Kyiv, Lagos, Lisbon, Launda, Nairobi and Naples. The local music stories, the scenes, the subcultures and their global networks are reconstructed in 21 essays and photo sequences. The tale they tell is one of clubs as laboratories of otherness, in which people can experiment with new ways of being and assert their claim to the city. Ten Cities is a nocturnal, sound-driven journey through ten social and urban stories from 1960 through to the present. Club cultures have a rich local history and are at the same time much more differentiated geographically speaking than the story of the North Atlantic axis of Detroit-Chicago-Manchester-Berlin would have us believe. Ten Cities is a nocturnal, sound-driven journey through ten social and urban stories from 1960 through to the present. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Synopsis

A nocturnal journey through local histories of clubbing in Africa and Europe

The image of the DJ dragging his record case through international “non-places” and deejaying in clubs around the globe is a contemporary clich�.

It looks at ten club capitals in Africa and Europe, reporting on different scenes in Bristol, Johannesburg, Cairo, Kyiv, Lagos, Lisbon, Launda, Nairobi and Naples. The local music stories, the scenes, the subcultures and their global networks are reconstructed in 21 essays and photo sequences.

The tale they tell is one of clubs as laboratories of otherness, in which people can experiment with new ways of being and assert their claim to the city. Ten Cities is a nocturnal, sound-driven journey through ten social and urban stories from 1960 through to the present.
