The Secret DJ ist ein erfahrener Veteran der elektronischen Musik, der jahrzehntelange Erfahrungen in diesem Genre dokumentiert. Seine Werke tauchen in die schwindelerregenden Höhen und verheerenden Tiefen des DJing und der Produktion ein, von den Anfängen des Acid House bis zum späteren Ruhm und den darauffolgenden Schwierigkeiten. Durch diese Erzählungen zieht sich ein konstanter Strang aus trockenem Humor, Hingabe an die authentische Clubkultur und dem Glauben an die Kraft der Tanzmusik für positiven Wandel und Einheit. Als engagierter Aktivist und Kommentator dient The Secret DJ als das manchmal unbeholfene Gewissen einer Subkultur, die sich zu einer riesigen Industrie entwickelt hat und oft den Profit über die Leidenschaft stellt.

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.
