Yes, quite a lot, actually!
Here's a second to Mark Butler's work. Unfortunately, like a lot of theory books, it's really expensive (because libraries will basically pay any price for books).
However, Butler's first book, Unlocking the Groove, is only 27 bucks on Amazon right now. This is the pioneering work on the theory behind dance/electronic music, and is well worth a read.
Haha yeah I guess I could send it/post it later. It's not very good! I'm an undergrad still. It's actually about pop/commercial EDM, and how progressive house and trance were "transformed" into pop music.
If you're more interested in stuff like this, look up Mark Butler's book Unlocking the Groove: Rhythm, Meter, and Musical Design in Electronic Dance Music. It's academic, but it's very interesting to see dance music really critically broken down and analyzed. That book generally discusses rhythms and form, and his book Playing with Something that Runs discussed how DJs interact with crowds and how forms different songs overlap to create form of a DJ set.
edit - forgot to mention, you can find that first book online for free pretty easily, I would highly recommend it!
