Publisher's Summary

'Have you heard the one about the four guys from south London who went to Ibiza for two weeks, were taken on a musical journey while off their heads on a new wonder drug and then returned home armed with modern dance music? If not, well, you might be in for a shock.'

The long-awaited autobiography from the first superstar DJ.

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.

Paul also shares how he overcame tough times, including his struggle with dyslexia and how this has shaped him as a DJ and producer.

A breathless adventure through music, Ready Steady Go is a story of dance, trance, excess and success.

A totally unique take on the birth of dance music.

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.
