Dance Music Spaces examines the production of physical and digital spaces in dance music, and how the players--clubs, clubbers, and DJs--use authenticity, branding, and commercialism to navigate them. An in-depth study into three women DJs--The Blessed Madonna, Honey Dijon, and Peggy Gou--reveals a new concept, authenticity maneuvering. In it Danielle Hidalgo exposes how the strategic use of a rave ethos both bolsters acceptance in dance music spaces and hides often problematic commercial practices. This timely, thoughtful, and deeply personal book presents a compelling analysis of the complicated interplay between dancing bodies, digital practices, and spatial offerings in contemporary dance music.
