Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. Cultural liberation and musical innovation. Pyrotechnics, bottle service, bass drops, and molly.

Electronic dance music has been a vital force for more than three decades now, and has undergone transformation upon transformation as it has taken over the world. In this searching, lyrical account of dance music culture worldwide, Matthew Collin takes stock of its highest highs and lowest lows across its global trajectory. Through firsthand reportage and interviews with clubbers and DJs, Collin documents the itinerant musical form from its underground beginnings in New York, Chicago, and Detroit in the 1980s, to its explosions in Ibiza and Berlin, to today's mainstream music scenes in new frontiers like Las Vegas, Shanghai, and Dubai. Collin shows how its dizzying array of genres-from house, techno, and garage to drum and bass, dubstep, and psytrance-have given voice to locally specific struggles. For so many people in so many different places, electronic dance music has been caught up in the search for free cultural space: forming the soundtrack to liberation for South African youth after Apartheid; inspiring a psychedelic party culture in Israel; offering fleeting escape from-and at times into-corporatization in China; and even undergirding a veritable "independent republic" in a politically contested slice of the former Soviet Union.

Full of admiration for the possibilities the music has opened up all over the world, Collin also unflinchingly probes where this utopianism has fallen short, whether the culture maintains its liberating possibilities today, and where it might go in the future.

Great organizer for nightstand
Color: Black
This made a great gift for my unorganized husband, able to keep all the things he has strewn about in one place. Feels like high quality for a decent price.

Great purchase
Color: Brown
Purchased to organize my son’s beside table. So well made, sturdy, and the brown matches his night stand perfectly. Compartments to fit anything he needs to stash in there and keeps his things from sliding around in the drawer. Well worth the price

Well made for organization
Color: Brown
The trays were purchased for my brother who has Parkinson’s disease. He’s able to pick things out of it with the low side profile. One sits on the top of his dresser and the other inside a drawer. They seem to be quality made.

Works Great
Color: Black
Got this for my office desk to keep everything arranged and the valet tray works out perfectly. The leather is holding up nicely, and the black color looks great on my desk. Everything fits nicely, and the little door on top swings with ease. The inner lining has a nice material thought it either wasn't fit right to the boxes, or it has delaminated so on some of the longer edges, I need to reglue them back to the sides. Once I do that, it'll be perfect. If the manufacturer is reading this review, please take a look at the adhesive used. Other than that it is beautiful and recommend.
