Hello, it’s been a while...

Been busy, honest.

Hi all,
It’s been a while since I posted on here. Like nearly two years. Apologies for that. I have been kinda busy, so wanted to update you on all the stuff I/we’ve been up to.

Firstly, for the past two years, I’ve been writing a new book. I’m collaborating with a DJ in Berlin called Valentina Budino on a history of Italian dance music. The book’s provisional title is NON-STOP, A History Of Italian Dance Music, 1965 - 1995. It’s an oral history, starting with the design and opening of the innovative Piper disco in Rome in 1965 (amazingly, it’s still open) and going up to house’s peak years all over Italy. We’ve interviewed not far off a 100 people for it and there will also be some extended essays (written by me), plus – fingers crossed – a compilation full of un-Shazam-able goodies. We have a publishing deal in the UK and Italy, although I’m not expecting it to be out until next year.

If you haven’t already checked the podcast series I’ve been doing, then this month’s Fabio chat is a great one to start with. You can subscribe here for that:

We’ve also got a paperback edition of the updated, all-time classic tome, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life. We will be doing a book tour this summer in support of it, so look out for details of that. If you own a bar, record shop or crack house, feel free to invite us for the evening. The official launch will be at the Social in London on Friday July 26th.

Don’t know if you know, but I also have a Patreon page, which is below, where I offer various inducements for you to part with your cash. Recently, though, Patreon have loosened the purse strings and you can now subscribe for free. Go here for that:

Finally, Frankie B and I have one of our legendary Low Life Valentine’s parties in the offing. We’ve got a couple of ‘secret’ guests which I can reveal are the amazing Ruby Savage and Shy One. Ruby’s already played for us once and was brilliant. They’re joined by myself, Frank, Sarahtonin and Bruce Tantum. Should be a great night. Tickets here:

Thanks and speak soon.
Best,
