dancecult-393	van Veen, tobias c.	Vessels of Transfer: Allegories of Afrofuturism in Jeff Mills and Janelle Monáe	2013	35	.pdf	application/pdf	14790	734	51	A pervasive futurity-to-come propels Jeff Mills and techno music, as well as electronic music’s futurology in general—the latter unfortunately absent from Gilroy’s repertoire of Afrofuturology. The alien and offworld nexus of techno music doesn’t “represent” Earthly concerns, geographies, or identities in the way that gangsta’ hip-hop or West coast g-funk articulates—in a double-movement of critique and fetishization, celebration and mourning—the violence of impoverishment, the confines of ghettoization, or the anger and frustration of structural unemployment and systemic discrimination.24 This is not to say that Afrofuturist music—including its hip-hop—turns a blind eye to earthly conditions.	cache/dancecult-393.pdf	txt/dancecult-393.txt
