Reynolds, K-Punk, Kode 9 Panel at Stratford Circus 23 February 2012

Diggedy Derek

Stray Dog
Thanks for mentioning, this is the third of The Wire's Critical Beats events. Forthcoming ones in the April and June will discuss sound systems and dancing respectively...

Sadly Mark Fisher/k-punk won't be able to participate due to illness, hopefully he should be back in the loop soon. He'll be replaced by The Wire's own Lisa Blanning.

This instalment starts with the [loaded] question:Has electronic dance music culture reached the point of aesthetic exhaustion? Is sonic innovation now misunderstood by critics who aren't connected to the dance music scene? Or is newness overrated to begin with? Steve Goodman (aka Kode9) moderates a panel discussion on the aesthetics of current club culture.

Panelists: Simon Reynolds, Tony Herrington, Lisa Blanning.
Moderator: Steve Goodman

If you're there, come and say below beforehand if you're down there early. I'll be there from seven. Email me at The Wire or tweet me or something!

Hope to see you there, the first two instalments were a lot of fun.
