Another book reccomendation: 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton. Excellent history of the DJ and the various key phases of dance/club culture, covering Northern Soul, disco, hip-hop, house, techno, garage etc. Very readable style, totally addicitve, full of brilliant stories - should be required reading for any DJ. To be honest I put it up there with 'Techno Rebels' as an essential dance music text... :::::::::::: tom churchill ::::::::::::: ::::::::: headspace recordings ::::::::: : http://www.headspacerecordings.co.uk : ::: e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ::: ::::::::::: t: 07976 898514 ::::::::::::
