I was wondering if I could ask you all for a big favour: I am a senior lecturer in sociology at Surrey University and I am currently running a project on the value of (commercial) arts and culture. As part of this project we are conducting an online survey with fans and enthusiasts across different forms of popular culture, including music.
At the moment, we have had quite a lot of respondents with a preference for rock, indie, pop, etc. (partly because I did research at UK festivals last year), but we would really love to hear from more serious clubbers and fans of electronic music including, House, Dance, etc.
So if you happened to have 15-20 minutes, it would be fantastic if you could go to
www.culture-survey.org
and click on the "music" icon. And if you do the full survey, you will get to some dance music in the end, too
Also, as a participation incentive there is a £1,000 cash prize that will go to one randomly drwan respondents when the survey closes at the end of July. So you might have a nice four figure sum to blow in time for the closing parties!
Also, if you want to be extra nice, it would be fantastic if you could share the link to the survey with any friends or via social media (maybe mentioning the £1000). We are also on twitter (@culture_survey) and facebook (www.facebook/culturesurvey).
I should add that unfortunately the prize draw is limited to those with a UK address, but everyone is of course welcome to participate.
Thank you!!!

P.S. To those of you who kindly took the time to talk to me about their Ibiza experiences in 2012, the chapter I wrote based on that research was published last year:
Sandvoss, Cornel (2013) ‘“I ♥ Ibiza”: Music, Place and Belonging’, in Mark Duffett (ed) Popular Music Fandom: Identities, Roles and Practices. New York: Routledge.
If you'd like a copy, let me know and I will send you one.
