In a performative context, the term was originally used to refer to live appearances, initially at rave events in the late 1980s,[1] of studio based producers of electronic dance music who released music using fixed media formats such as 12-inch single, CD, or music download. The concept of the live PA helped provide a public face for a scene that was criticized as "faceless" by the mainstream music press.[2] The trend was quickly exploited by a music industry desperate to market dance music to a popular audience.
