Is music classification outdated? Some genres are regularly declared dead by the press and commentators, brought down by an inflation of cool (only to be resurrected a few months later), while others are unearthed by new generations of artists eager to continue a sonic legacy, meticulously collecting the early chapters. One thing is certain: whether dead or alive, genres are more hybrid than ever. This era is marked by the success of crossover artists like Rosalía or Nia Archives, who craft their image at the intersection of pop and so-called alternative cultures, by edits that remix nostalgia-laden tracks, and by DJ bios that boast of mixing « a bit of everything, from baile funk, grime, jungle, to footwork, » often under the label « global dancefloor. » In short, the barriers between genres have definitively fallen. But what does this breakdown mean for a DJ in their practice? For a producer? For a label? Does the blurring of genres also result in a blurring of audiences? @glitter__55, @jujusoud, Constant Bonard & @bolitorride sat down to discuss the topic 🗣️ 🔗 Full talk now available via link in bio
