This paper explores how music and music genre can govern the nightlife experience, specifically how a nightclub's music policy can impact on clientele, health behaviours, bar sales and levels of disorder.
Participant observations were conducted in sample of eight city centre nightclubs in Glasgow, Scotland.
Music policy was found to influence nightclubs' clientele and their behaviours, for example in relation to differences in levels of alcohol or illegal drug use, sexual activity and violence between venues. Further, within individual venues, music policy was also observed operating as a crowd control tool, with for example such entertainment being used in alcohol marketing, in 'soft policing' and in the temporal management of patrons' movements. This research acknowledges the centrality of the DJ in implementing these controls.
It is clear that music is a central component of the Nighttime Economy. Despite this, to date music has tended to play 'second fiddle' to sex and drugs within Club Health research. From this research it is recommended that music policy be incorporated into responsible bar server training packages.
本文探讨了音乐和音乐类型如何控制夜生活体验，特别是夜总会的音乐政策如何影响顾客、健康行为、酒吧销售和混乱程度。
在苏格兰格拉斯哥市中心的 8 家夜总会进行了抽样参与者观察。
音乐政策被发现影响夜总会的顾客及其行为，例如在不同场所的酒精或非法药物使用、性活动和暴力程度方面。此外，在单个场所内，音乐政策也被观察到作为一种人群控制工具，例如这种娱乐活动被用于酒精营销、“软性监管”和顾客活动的时间管理。本研究承认 DJ 在实施这些控制方面的核心作用。
很明显，音乐是夜间经济的核心组成部分。尽管如此，迄今为止，音乐在俱乐部健康研究中一直处于性和毒品的次要地位。本研究建议将音乐政策纳入负责任的酒吧服务员培训套餐中。
