Publisher's Summary
When someone says, 'You have to know your history...', this is it. This classic book is the whole unruly story of dance music in one volume. It recreates the dance floors that made history, conjuring their atmosphere with loving detail and bringing you the voices of the DJs and clubbers at their heart—from grime, garage, house, hip hop and disco, to techno, soul, reggae, rock 'n' roll and EDM. Whether musical outlaw, obsessive crate-digger or overpaid superstar, the DJ has been at the spinning centre of nightlife for a century, making parties wilder, pushing clubbers harder and driving music into completely new shapes and styles. In 1999, this was the first book to do justice to the DJ's roller coaster ride. Twenty years later, it's fully refreshed, carefully updated and filled with even more stories, including two brand-new chapters. This edition comes with a new foreword by James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem).
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
