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.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
