ULTIMATE EURODANCE CONSPIRACY PROJECT, Volume 2: The Power plunges deeper into the secret history of ’90s Eurodance. Picking up where the cult-classic first volume left off—yet also operating as a prequel—DJ Poolhouse revisits the original thesis: Eurodance wasn’t just a genre, it was a project of statecraft. From the Cold War to the Marshall Plan, from the Office of Radio Research to covert cultural operations like the CIA’s distribution of Doctor Zhivago, this volume uncovers the hidden infrastructures that fused sound with power. Music as propaganda, sound as weapon, and pop as alchemy form the basis for a Poolhousean deep dive into the long arc of sonic control.
At the same time, The Power traces the musical genealogy of Eurodance itself: the German electronic experiments of the ’70s colliding with Black urban American sounds, the birth of techno and house, and the transatlantic feedback loops that gave rise to a truly global pop marketplace. ULTIMATE EURODANCE CONSPIRACY PROJECT functions as pop documentary and esoteric analysis, as myth and material history, as conspiracy theory and nonstop mixtape—all in one immersive experience. Whether you were with Volume 1 from the beginning or are diving in fresh, Volume 2 stands alone as a startling exploration of how songs and statecraft collide.
