Discographies: Dance, Music, Culture and the Politics of Sound

‘This is a lucid, informative, engagingly written and stimulating work. It admirably covers a variety of different theoretical issues and takes off from dance to raise all sorts of questions about the treatment of music in cultural studies’. – Simon Frith, University of Stirling

‘Discographies is contemporary, committed and compelling. The strengths of the book lie in its ability to combine academic expertise with an obvious immersion in dance music culture.’ – Will Straw, McGill University
