Description

Out of Space: How UK Cities Shaped Rave Culture The history of club culture is deeply rooted in the spaces where people come together to move to music. From caves to clubs in urban towns and cities, this phenomenon has been a constant presence throughout human history. However, the rise of property developers has led to the loss of many of these spaces, with London alone losing half of its clubs in the five years leading up to 2016. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this decline, with a quarter of clubs being removed. Despite this, club culture has found new homes in unexpected locations. This book explores the key cities and towns where electronic music has thrived, from Glasgow to Margate, and maps the spaces where it currently dances. It also examines the unlikely locations that have become hubs for club music, such as Coalville and Todmorden. By tracing the evolution of urban landscapes and their role in shaping club culture, this book provides a unique insight into the history and future of electronic music. By examining the intersections of urban landscapes and club music, this book sheds light on the diverse and often overlooked spaces that have become the heart of electronic music culture.
