Dancecult
With its doors opening in April 2005, Dancecult is an on-line forum for the electronic dance music culture (EDMC) research network. With over 180 members, Dancecult-l is an interdisciplinary mailing list for graduate students, scholars, and other parties interested in the study and documentation of EDMCs from proto-disco through post-rave formations. Dancecult now has a home on the web, which incorporates a growing EDMC bibliography, links to other relevant web-based resources and events, a list of scholars researching EDMC, and other mysterious developments. Thanks to the design skills of Eliot Bates, who has worked hard on its development, the website enables visitors to make additions and updates.
As a critical information exchange hub, Dancecult enables resource sharing and collaboration between international researchers of club cultures, raves, techno, electronica, doof, digital arts and other manifestations of EDMC. Members come from various different disciplines, operating in many different global locations, employing diverse methodologies.
