Abstract

Elektronička plesna glazba (EDM) prvenstveno je namijenjena plesu u noćnim klubovima i na rejvovima. Karakterizira je brza evolucija od njezinog početka 1980-ih, stotine podžanrova i hibridnih žanrova, te današnja popularnost diljem cijeloga svijeta. Glavni akter u elektroničkoj plesnoj glazbi je DJ – osoba koja kreira programe koji se uglavnom sastoje od komercijalno dostupne glazbe, obično reproducirane s diskova u klubu ili na bilo kojem javnom ili privatnom glazbenom događaju. Ovaj diplomski rad nastao je na osnovi etnografskog istraživanja scene elektroničke plesne glazbe u Zagrebu kroz (polu)strukturirane intervjue s deset DJ-eva koji trenutno djeluju na sceni, potkrijepljene literaturom o EDM-u i DJ-evima. Nakon kratkog uvoda u elektroničku plesnu glazbu i njezin razvoj na zagrebačkoj popularno-glazbenoj sceni, rad stavlja fokus na DJ-a, odnosno njegov profesionalni identitet i radnu svakodnevicu, kroz koju se objašnjavaju aspekti obrazovanja, razvoja karijere, rodnih (ne)jednakosti, glazbenog rada, opreme i tehnika DJ-eva, prekarnosti njihova rada, samopromocije, zakonodavnog okvira i utjecaja pandemije virusa COVID-19 na suvremenu EDM scenu i njezine aktere.

Abstract (english)

Electronic dance music (EDM) is primarily intended for dancing in nightclubs and raves. It is characterized by rapid evolution since early 1980s, hundreds of subgenres and hybrid genres and today's popularity all over the world. The main actor in electronic dance music is a DJ – a person who presents and creates programs that mainly consist of commercially available music, usually played from discs in a club or in any public or private function. This thesis was is based on ethnographic research of the EDM scene of Zagreb conducted through (semi)structured interviews with ten DJs currently working on the Zagreb EDM scene, supported by the literature of EDM and DJs. Despite the large number of participants who create such a scene, after the introduction to electronic dance music and its placement on the Zagreb scene, the thesis focuses on the DJ – his professional identity and everyday life, which explains aspects of education, career development, gender (in)equality, musical labour, equipment and techniques, precariousness, legislation and the impact of the COVID-19 virus.
