Politics of the Dance Floor: Solidarity

Raving is community, solidarity, contact. A club can be a safer
space, especially for People of Color, Black people and LGBTQ+
people. How do the communities bridge the pandemic void? What
mechanisms of social exclusion exist even in the music scene and
club culture? And what role does gentrification play? In the first
episode of the Politics of the Dance Floor podcast, Erkan Affan
speaks with Yuko Asanuma, Lakuti and Jay Jay Revlon about
solidarity. They discuss participation, the advantages and
disadvantages of online DJ sets and why it’s always work to show
solidarity with others. Songs: Gil Scott-Heron: The Bottle KAJAMA:
