The postmodern sensibility that anything can be considered cool in an ironic ‘I know it’s bad, but it’s so bad it’s good’ way:
Work that is created based (entirely or in part) on older material. This incorporates samplingand will take you from the realms of hip hop culture transporting you finally in today's modern fragmented musical landscape. You will have to listen to some of the artists to fullyappreciate them and their work.
Audiences that are both niche and mainstream. E.g.: Radio 1, 1xtra, BBC6, XFM
The ways in which people engage and listen to music e.g.: iPod, DAB, mobile phones etc
The legal issues surrounding sampling. (Led Zeppelin borrowed heavily from old bluesmenand it took years for the songwriters to be credited and paid royalties. The same group tooka hard-line stance initially to be sampled by hip hop groups.)
The state of the music industry incorporating any recent developments that change how weaccess/ interact with music e.g.: Spotify, X Factor, iTunes, illegal downloading, free cds withnewspapers etc
