Mark Katz presents Groove Music: The Art and Culture of the Hip-Hop DJ
Flyleaf Books is pleased to present, as part of the NC Science Festival, a discussion by UNC professor Mark Katz about his groundbreaking book, Groove Music: The Art and Culture of the Hip-Hop DJ.
In Groove Music, Katz (an amateur DJ himself) delves into the fascinating world of the DJ, tracing the art of the turntable from its humble beginnings in the Bronx in the 1970s to its meteoric rise to global phenomenon today. Based on extensive interviews with practicing DJs, historical research, and his own personal experience, Katz presents a history of hip-hop from the point of view of the people who invented the genre. Exhaustively researched and written with all the verve and energy of hip-hop itself, Groove Music will delight experienced and aspiring DJs, hip-hop fans, and all students or scholars of popular music and culture. DJs will be on hand to demonstrate their art!
Mark Katz is Associate Professor of Music at UNC Chapel Hill. He is the author of Capturing Sound: How Technology has Changed Music. He is a violinist, a radio DJ, and an aspiring turntablist.
