Description
Transatlantic Drift explores the emergence and evolution of nightclubs and electronic dance music from the 1950s onwards.
It traces the rhythmic journey of dance music, following the pulse as it bounced between Europe, North America, and the Caribbean. Music, dance styles, and nightclub spaces are not created in isolation; they are shaped by collective influences and shared experiences.
This book uncovers the interconnected story of dance music, taking in hotspots such as New York, Detroit, London, Manchester, Chicago, Dusseldorf, and Ibiza. Transatlantic Drift offers an engaging exploration of how people have come together to share melodies and rhythms, forming a global conversation through electronic music.
