It is one of those joyous books where passion meets erudition on every page, presenting a compelling portrait of the contemporary electronic dance music scene. Giving us in many ways the prehistory of the racial and gender reckoning that nightlife is going through right now, \u003ci\u003eTogether, Somehow\u003c\/i\u003e will stand as one of the essential works on EDM.” -- Tavia Nyong’o, author of * Afro-Fabulations: The Queer Drama of Black Life *\u003cbr\u003e“Luis Manuel Garcia-Mispireta serves us a much-anticipated, technicolor musicological response to the enveloping, multisensory experiences on the dancefloor that queer studies and performance theorists of color have dominated in analysis for quite some time. From start to finish, Garcia-Mispireta gives us rigorous analysis we can feel in the oft-neglected research on the dynamics of affective connection among electronic dance music enthusiasts both as everyday listeners and music researchers. Undoubtedly, readers will find themselves reclaiming previously contested sonic world utopias.” -- Alisha Lola Jones, author of * Flaming?: The Peculiar Theopolitics of Fire and Desire in Black Male Gospel Performance *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  ix\u003cbr\u003e Introduction  1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
