DAVID MANCUSO AND THE ART OF DEEJAYING WITHOUT DEEJAYING

This has just been included on GrandSlams website. I’d like to thank David Mancuso and also Tim Lawrence, the author of ‘Love Saves The Day’, for reading through it, in order for me to be double-sure that the factual detail was all correct. It was obviously important to me that the piece, which looks at the direct link between disco culture and the psychedelic 60’s, received David’s full blessing.

For those wanting to buy a copy of ‘Love Saves The Day’ (and that should be pretty much everyone who’s into dance music!), it’s now available, at Amazon

From New York’s Perfect Sound Forever, two short pieces that explore decline and renewal within the dance scene. ‘All Good Things Come To An End’ remembers Manchester’s famous Hacienda club, through bad times and good, whilst ‘A Mixed Up Time’ looks at how DJ’s are having to adjust to a new club climate.

First published in issue #3 of GrandSlam, this is an overview of the hybrid late 70’s / early 80’s New York No Wave movement, what led up to it, what resulted from it, and how its influence is still felt today.

Finally, there’s an interview I did with Futureboogie in Bristol:
