The Secret DJ is a seasoned veteran of electronic music, chronicling decades of experiences within the genre. Their work delves into the dizzying highs and devastating lows of DJing and production, from the nascent days of Acid House to eventual stardom and subsequent struggles. Throughout these narratives, a consistent thread of wry humor, dedication to authentic club culture, and a belief in dance music's power for positive change and unity persists. Now an outspoken activist and commentator, The Secret DJ serves as the sometimes-awkward conscience of a subculture that has transformed into a massive industry, often prioritizing profit over passion.
The Secret Prison Governor has spent decades surrounded by every type of prisoner known to man, from petty thieves and common drug dealers to crime bosses and dangerous serial killers. This is his account.
Through four decades at the pointy end of dance music and club culture, the Secret DJ has seen it all. In this hilarious, gripping, and at times extremely moving follow-up to the smash hit first book, the mysterious insider pulls no punches, wryly lifting the lid on misbehaving stars, what really goes on backstage, how to survive in the DJ game, and where the real power lies in rave. Most of all, they chart how capitalism bought and sold the utopian dreams of the Acid House generation – and whether those dreams can still be saved. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the dancefloor; past, present and future.
