2025-09-242h 06Transmusic AirwavesPart 1 WKSU's Webcast 2000 Fresh Air Tribute25 years ago, WKSU celebrated their 50th anniversary and when they offered "us" 4 hours of streaming time on WKSU’s “Fresh Air Feature” website, and we jumped at that opportunity. Transmusic Airwaves presents those 4 hours produced 25 years ago, as a Fresh Air Archives Special. Our goal for the programming was to reflect on some of the “old music” with a strong desire to show where Fresh Air would have been, and where it would continue to go!

Mixes: Electro Techno24.2 IS E.B.M.24.2 отмечается всемирный день ЕВМ!!! Микс записан специально в честь этого важного события! О самом стиле и его истоках:
Electronic body music (EBM) — жанр электронной музыки, сочетающий в себе элементы индустриальной музыки и синти-панка с элементами танцевальной музыки. Он возник в начале 1980-х годов в Западной Европе как результат развития панк- и индустриальной музыкальной культуры. Он сочетает в себе последовательные повторяющиеся басовые партии, запрограммированные ритмы танцевальной музыки и, в основном, неискаженный вокал и командные крики с конфронтационными или провокационными темами.
Эволюция жанра отразила «общий сдвиг в сторону более песенно-ориентированных структур в индастриале, а также общий поворот многих музыкантов и жанров к танцполу в эпоху пост-панка». Он считался частью европейской новой волны и пост-панка, а также первым стилем, в котором синтезированные звуки сочетались с экстатическим стилем танца (например, пого).
EBM приобрела стабильную аудиторию во второй половине 1980-х годов. Примерно в этот период из EBM возникла молодежная культурная сцена, последователи которой называют себя EBM-хэдс или (в Северной Америке) риветхэдс.
Термин «электронная бади-музыка» впервые был использован Ральфом Хюттером из немецкой электронной группы Kraftwerk в интервью британской музыкальной газете Sounds в ноябре 1977 года. В июне 1978 года Хюттер повторно использовал эту фразу в интервью радио WKSU (Кент, Огайо), чтобы объяснить более физический характер альбома Kraftwerk The Man-Machine. Хотя этот термин возник в конце 1970-х годов, он появился вновь и начал широко использоваться только в 1980-х годах.
«EBM означает «электронная музыка тела», термин, который по-настоящему стал использоваться только тогда, когда британцы и бельгийцы вошли в «бизнес секвенсоров» с такими группами, как Nitzer Ebb и Front 242. В наши молодые дни не существовало всех этих терминов, ни «индастриал», ни «пост-панк». [...] Для нас это была секвенсорная музыка, которой мы и занимались».— Юрген Энглер из Die Krupps
В 1981 году немецкая группа DAF использовала термин «Körpermusik» (музыка тела) для описания своего танцевального электронного панк-звучания. Термин «электронная музыка тела» позже использовался бельгийской группой Front 242 в 1984 году для описания музыки их EP того года под названием No Comment.
(ENG) Electronic body music is celebrated on February 24th for International EBM Day!
Electronic body music (EBM) is a genre of electronic music that combines elements of industrial music and synth-punk with elements of dance music. It developed in the early 1980s in Western Europe, as an outgrowth of both the punk and the industrial music cultures. It combines sequenced repetitive basslines, programmed dance music rhythms, and mostly undistorted vocals and command-like shouts with confrontational or provocative themes.
The evolution of the genre reflected "a general shift towards more song-oriented structures in industrial as to a general turn towards the dancefloor by many musicians and genres in the era of post-punk." It was considered a part of the European new wave and post-punk movement and the first style that blended synthesized sounds with an ecstatic style of dancing (e.g. pogo).
EBM gained a stable following in the second half of the 1980s. Around that period, a youth-cultural scene emerged from EBM whose followers describe themselves as EBM-heads or (in North America) as rivetheads.
The term electronic body music was first used by Ralf Hütter of the German electronic band Kraftwerk in an interview with British music newspaper Sounds in November 1977. In June 1978 Hütter reused the phrase in an interview with WKSU radio (Kent, Ohio) to explain the more physical character of the Kraftwerk album The Man-Machine. Although the term originated in the late 1970s, it was not until the 1980s when it reappeared and started to come into popular use.
"EBM stands for 'electronic body music', a term which only real
