Beskrivning
Turntable Stories is an anthology of stories, memories and histories. It explores global turntable and vinyl record cultures through creative non-fiction forms such as memoir, essays, autoethnography, personal histories and reflection. It explores experiences of club culture and of bedroom mixing. It investigates niche scenes and subcultures and how they manifest in global spaces and contexts. It also features the magic of our first turntables or the decks we learnt to mix on. Chapters are broad and cultural as well as specific and personal.These stories are funny, heart-breaking and weird (or all of these things at once). Contributors are DJs, collectors, researchers, scholars and lovers of musical culture. What’s important is the foregrounding of narratives that explore our relationship with our decks, what we use them for and how they shape our musical and cultural selfhood.
