Abstract

The cult of electronic music in post-modern rituals is not limited to a reverence of a musical style, but it represents a new state of things. There is a relationship between the shaman of the past and the shaman of the present, embodied by the figure of the DJ. Both are the guiding element of a ritual, while stimulating “trips” through alternative states of consciousness, externalizing the sound in two ways: an archaic form and in a technologically sophisticated form.
