About this listen

 "A wild ride of a life... Oakenfold's story is extraordinary" - The Times


Follow Paul Oakenfold – world-renowned DJ and dance music pioneer – as he tells his incredible story of a phenomenal career at the beating heart of dance.

Paul's journey takes him from a musical baptism in 1980s New York and underground club nights in London to running a seminal dance record label and a legendary trip to Ibiza that introduced him to trance and changed the face of dance music forever.

A breathless adventure through music, Ready Steady Go is a story of dance, trance, excess and success.©2022 Paul Oakenfold (P)2022 Welbeck Publishing Group Entertainment & Celebrities Music Celebrity Hip-Hop Success

I liked this book and finished it very quickly. Tales from the birth of dance music from the viewpoint of one of the fathers of the genre. Paul Oakenfold seems like a very likable character and there are also lessons to be learned about hard work and success. Although I have never gelled with his music he is certainly a titan who has played a very large part in the spreading of this genre around the globe. One of the most insightful parts of the book was the late eighties trip to ibiza. I was always under the impression that the ibiza trip resulted in a lucky jump of house music from the Balearics to the UK. What I learned was that Paul and Nicky Holloway were already making waves in the UK music scene, albeit with other music genres. it is now obvious that luck was not the biggest factor in bringing dance music to the UK, hard work and talent was.

A totally unique take on the birth of dance music.
