At more than 120 bpm, electronic music sets the tempo on
dancefloors around the globe. Accompanying the exhibition
Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers, this book
offers an insight into the visual culture of electronic music, and
how technology, design, art and fashion have contributed to its
power. With its roots in Detroit and Chicago in the early 1980s,
electronic dance music was popularised across Europe through
underground rave parties. Its impact on contemporary culture is
still unfolding today. Containing interviews with early pioneers
such as techno legend Jeff Mills, The Designers Republic’s Ian
Anderson, and those pushing the political dimension of electronic
music, such as ballroom dancer and DJ Kiddy Smile, Electronic bears
witness to the shifting nature of the genre. Illustrated with over
300 images, some published here for the first time, Electronic
features Jean-Michel Jarre’s virtual studio; work by pioneer
Daphne Oram of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop; audiovisual
performances by musicians like Bicep and the Chemical Brothers;
fashion collections by Raf Simons and Charles Jeffrey of Loverboy;
iconic photography by Jacob Khrist and Tina Paul; artwork by
Christian Marclay; club graphics from Peter Saville and Mark
Farrow; and iconic venues such as the Haçienda, Gatecrasher,
Fabric, Berghain and the Warehouse Project. Reflecting the shifts
in society over the past thirty years, electronic music has
generated distinct visual languages as well as its own political
and cultural ideals.
