ideas of history/origins of Apollo Space program samples in electronic dance music?

Submitted by AliaK on Sat, 2009-04-25 15:16

any ideas of history/origins of Apollo Space program samples in electronic dance music? (Q via maillist, pls help) http://tinyurl.com/cdx84e

I'm on a maillist which discusses EDM (electronic dance music) and one of the members/list managers, Graham St John (an Australian scholar who has compiled a few books on EDM) has asked about origins of samples from the Apollo Space mission in music. he's asking specifically about dance related music but the discussion has brought up Sun Ra's name. so I was wondering if anyone here knows of examples/history along hip hop / funk /soul / electro (80s, not 2000s) & electronic dance music lines which might help plot the history deeper? (the discussion then went onto alien imagery at some psytrance events but that's another topic)

here's the initial request from Graham St John :
I'm attempting to trace the appeal of Apollo Space Program dialogue

The Boom Book - capturing the essence of the Boom Festival

Submitted by AliaK on Wed, 2008-02-13 07:15

The "Boom Book" was a project carried out during 2007 as a commemoration of Portugal's Boom Festival's 10th anniversary. The goal was is to independently release a book about Boom but also to highlight its main contribution to today's world - as leader in incorporating novel approaches to entertainment and providing experiences lived through a festival which can pioneer new perceptions and visions, enhancing all of us and our relationship with the world we live in.

This book is a collaborative project put together by anthropologists, journalists, designers, illustrators, poets, musicologists, and photographers to capture the essence of the Boom Festival. The Boom Book includes essays, interviews, visionary art by Alex Grey, Robert Venosa or Android, and innovative texts about psy-trance. It is a cultural record of striking importance, capturing the beauty of Boom and also the role of subcultures in a modern world.

visit http://www.boomfestival.org/boombook/ for information about the Boom Book, or http://www.boomfestival.org/ for details about the festival.
the 2008 Boom Festival will be held from 11-18th August. you can virtually visit the Boom Festival location in google earth.

Cyberwlf

artist / project name:
Cyberwlf
bio:
psytrance party and internet radio dj
myspace page:
http://www.myspace/cyberwlf
website:
http://www.PsyKeOut.net
city:
Sydney
genre:
Psychedelic Trance
are you a currently active artist / DJ / project?:
yes
bio - full:
A fan of all that is dark, twisted, and psychedelic. Cyberwlf constantly seeks out the latest and most innovative in dark psychedelic night music, always looking to take his sound to the next level and push new boundaries.
From regular party goer turn DJ/Promoter/Organiser/Radio show host, Cyberwlf has been listening to electronic music since the late 80s. Natural progression lead him to discovering Goa-trance and then later on PsyTrance as well. Being a fan of Industrial, Metal, and Alternative music, Dark Psychedelic Trance became an instant love for him, and a passion he has spent many years exploring.
Any favourite artists, influential DJs or must-have labels?:
Nabi Records, who I am the Australasian representitive for! A label which has been pushing the edges of the dark psychedelic trance genre in recent years now. Also worth mentioning is the Australian artist Melbourne, Pondscum.
Are you documenting / archiving your music / performances. If so, how?:
I archive my shows and some of my DJ sets via my Internet Radio show PsyKe Out's website here www.PsyKeOut.net
How did you become interested or involved in writing music / DJing / your project?:
I actually didn't want to DJ, and had originally wanted to start an electro-industrial band. The guitar and keyboard needed to even get this started never happened, and through just being a general music fanatic, I ended up being offered and took up my own show on the Internet Radio station PulseRadio.net. This gave me the skills and understanding of track selection, flow, and later the technical
How would you describe your style of writing music / musical / artistic policy?:
One where keeping the music fresh, interesting, and challenging are key factors. Always seeking new sounds to explore, with a major orientation towards dark, twisted, and psychedelic trance music.
Want to name-drop any other people's names???:
Could mention many names, but it wouldn't change what I am about.
What are your thoughts on the Australian music community?:
Even though it allows some underground genres room to grow, the more commercial and bland genres have become more and more popular, and it kills musical innovation, as dance music shifts more towards being pop music. Underground styles of music have had their venues pulled from under them so vendors could use the venues for more commercially viable genres. I can only hope this changes.
What are your thoughts on the internet & music / filesharing / DRM etc?:
DRM is a flawed system, it more often than not shows an ineptitude of the people who create these standards to understand the practical and legitimate uses of the technology.
Filesharing can be as good as it can be bad, underground artists can hit the big time through their music being illegally traded, but it's no good when hard working artists are constantly robbed of their earnings due to people being too tightass to spend a couple of dollars on music they obviously get a lot of value out of.
What excites you now?:
New and interesting music, solid outdoor parties with quality production.
Where can we see or listen to you playing / your project?:
Most outdoor psy-trance parties around Sydney/Newcastle in Australia.
Which directions do you think your style of music / project will take in the future?:
I hope to take on equally twisted/psychedelic yet uplifting morning sounds, as well as find a solid transition sound.
