[microsound] microsound vs. DJ culture

[Peter Price <pprice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the relationship between "microsound" and "DJ culture?" Is the 
first a subset of the second...a stylistic genre? Are they completely 
separate, culturally autonomous realms? Or somewhere in between?

If DJ culture is about popular music, is microsound about unpopular 
music?

What role does race legitimately play in musical discourse. Is DJ 
culture really related more to "people of color" than what? non-DJ 
culture? Is microsound a music of people of non-color?

Does the terminology "DJ Culture" itself prevent critique by presenting 
itself as more than just music. In what way is this really the case?

I am trying to answer these questions for myself with little definitive 
luck so far. Can anyone help me out?
