As the 1970s gave way to the 80s, New York's party scene entered a
ferociously inventive period characterized by its creativity,
intensity, and hybridity. Life and Death on the New York Dance
Floor chronicles this tumultuous time, charting the sonic and
social eruptions that took place in the city's subterranean party
venues as well as the way they cultivated breakthrough movements in
art, performance, video, and film. Interviewing DJs, party hosts,
producers, musicians, artists, and dancers, Tim Lawrence
illustrates how the relatively discrete post-disco, post-punk, and
hip hop scenes became marked by their level of plurality,
interaction, and convergence. He also explains how the shifting
urban landscape of New York supported the cultural renaissance
before gentrification, Reaganomics, corporate intrusion, and the
spread of AIDS brought this gritty and protean time and place in
American culture to a troubled denouement.
