Global Tribe: Technology, Spirituality and Psytrance (Graham St John)

Dancecult January 1, 2004 Tobias C. van Veen

A book by Riccardo Balli, a longtime insider of the international underground electronic music scene, aims to resist the process of historification, which the author compares to museification and death. Balli, a DJ, label owner, composer, novelist, and live performer, offers a firsthand account rather than a critical or historical analysis, seeking to preserve the scene's living, experimental spirit rather than allowing it to become a static, commodified artifact.
