Throughout four decades at the pointy end of electronic music, the Secret DJ has experienced it all, from the first stirrings of the Acid House revolution, fame and adulation as a superstar DJ and producer, losing it all through a combination of bad luck and bad choices, and scraping back into the game once more.

The first book, the at-times hilarious, at others harrowing, The Secret DJ: From Ibiza To the Norfolk Broads tells the brutally honest story of that dizzying rise to fame as a DJ, producer and short-lived pop star – and an even quicker descent into illness and isolation, when eventually the bill became due and it looked like all was lost.

Throughout it all the Secret DJ never lost their wry sense of humour, dedication to the central ...more

Quotes by The Secret DJ (?)

“Don't live in fear. If you are scared of a bad mix you will be a bad selector. the 1% of the crowd who are taking notes will find fault with you regardless. Understand there will always be hate. In fact hate is far more of a driver in this business than love. If you engage with the haters it won't be long before they contaminate you with their negativity. Be a zen thing. Ignore them. they really, really, hate being ignored. If you do actually train wreck a mix, there's no reason why the rest of the set can't be awesome. A DJ performing live has more in common with radio than a recording. It's a stream that only moves forward, and mistakes and blips are lost in time. Leave it, move on. No one will remember but the haters. Leave it to them like a gift.”

“In a matter of moments a quivering bunch of weedy children was coated in raw sewage, and suffering the festival full house: shell-shock and trench foot. Was this biblical shower of shit on the dance tent God's judgment on our festival scene? I think theologians should be telling us straight. If God wants to bum flush the show, then us mere mortals should be warned. It's not like he has no history of smiting, it totally fits his modus operandi of Old Testament ferocity. Back when 'the God of Love' hadn't been invented, and we still had the Right-wing God of Austerity. Pillars of salt, plague, locusts, dead first born children... right through to today's whirling heathen dervishes showered in cold shit.”
