Warp’s music videos: affective communities, genre, and gender in electronic/dance music’s visual aesthetic
This article examines Warp's music videos primarily from the ‘Warp Vision’ era of 1989–2004. I adopt a multidisciplinary approach and map three analytical perspectives. Firstly, I look at the videos' origins in Sheffield's electronic/dance music scene of the early 1990s. I then consider the way in which Warp's visual aesthetic refracts a gendered and raced identity through the lens of cult fandom and the ‘techno-geek’. Finally, I scrutinise the gendered division of labour involved in the making of Warp's music videos and consider how production studies might enhance current approaches to the study of music video.
