By broadening his scope beyond the rave era specifically, Gillett upends a number of popular myths about the history of dance music.⁠ ⁠ Rather than positioning it as a spontaneous eruption which exploded in 1989, he traces its roots further back to Black British sound system culture and the New Age Traveller movement of the 60s and 70s.⁠ ⁠ "There’s something inherently political about a group of people taking control of a space without necessarily having the approval of mainstream society. That could be a marginalised community finding a space of solace and peace for a night; it could mean mobilising 30,000 people to go and seize a piece of common land.”⁠ ⁠ Read the full interview through the link in our bio 📷⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @jamesduncangrieg⁠ 📷 Darren Regnier, Tom Oldham, Paul Massey, Tristan O’Neill, Michael G Williams, Jason Manning, Pav Mxski via Getty」8月5日 22時59分
