>
> This special issue seeks to address topics and issues related to the remix
> as a component of electronic dance music culture. The remix, a form of
> derivative song composition that combines existing recorded sound with
> newly composed musical material, has become an increasingly popular subject
> of study both within and outside academia. While derivative musical and
> cultural expression is not a phenomenon exclusive to the present, the remix
> is unique from past forms of derivative music making because of the way it
> is defined by its relationship to the sound reproduction technologies of
> the 20th and 21st centuries. This combination of derivativeness and
> technology has encouraged an influx of scholarship addressing the
> problematic relationship of the remix with intellectual property to the
> exclusion of many other aspects of remixing, and in light of recent
> technological developments, the flourishing of participatory culture and
> the growing importance of the remix in the contemporary music industry,
> there remains a great deal of territory to explore with respect to the
> remix as an expression of contemporary music culture. Therefore, this
> special issue seeks to broaden understandings of remixing as a key element
> of electronic dance music culture by encouraging debate among composers,
> performers, promoters, fans and detractors.
>
> This special issue of Dancecult invites contributions from scholars in
> all areas on the subject of the remix as an expression of past and
> contemporary electronic dance music and culture. The goal of this special
> issue is to broaden the understanding of remixed music beyond the most
> commonly articulated tropes in existing scholarship. To this end,
> contributions from scholars, performers, music industry insiders, admirers
> and critics are welcomed and encouraged. While contributions from all areas
> of scholarship will be considered, it is requested that submissions be
> underpinned by a focus on remixing as it relates to electronic dance music
> culture.

> experimental and creative styles of reporting. From the Floor contributions
> may take the form of dispatches from the field, mini-ethnographies,
> interviews and photo essays, and contributors are encouraged to include
> relevant multimedia components such as music, video and hypertext.
