Samenvatting
How did the electronic music scene -as an industry that was completely shut down during the pandemic- find ways to survive and renegotiate its nature by moving to the online environment? Based on previous research that approached club culture as an embodied experience that creates feelings of effervescence, spiritual transformation and different levels and types of solidarity, this qualitative inquiry sought out to identify the new experience and relationships created in the club culture context, during lockdowns and through social media platforms and online events. From the relationships’ perspective, the findings point to a deconstruction of the DJ’s dominant role and to a less hierarchical interaction with the audience. Solidarity continues to be fostered inside the electronic music scene even via social media and online comments, but it is a new type of anonymous and global solidarity that is not inclusive and based on physical presence. All in all, some basic elements of club culture like the feelings of effervescence, the ecstatic experience, the sense of belonging to a community and the relief from everyday burdens continue to exist in a similar but not identical way, while other elements like the DJ – audience relationship seem to change. The online version of club culture is still a new born and evolving phenomenon that is intertwined with its past version of being present and dancing in the nightclub and as time passes we will see if it could dominate, continue to exist in parallel or disappear when the old, established club culture rituals re-emerge. |
