DISCOTHEQUE ARCHIVES – NEW EXTENDED HARDBACK
Delighted to announce that we’re now taking pre-orders for the new extended hardback version of Discotheque Archives. Pre-orders are scheduled for despatch next week, with UK delivery ahead of Christmas.
Highlighting the pre-rave era, by focusing on the classic DJs, records, venues and labels that laid the groundwork on which a now global dance culture was built, Discotheque Archives is now available as an extended hardback. It includes 20 extra sections, which fill in some of the gaps from the original series, and comes complete with a number of new Pete Fowler DJ illustrations and a comprehensive index that includes around 750 records referenced in the book’s pages.
Having originally unfurled as a monthly series for DJ Magazine, Discotheque Archives was first issued in book form two years ago, during lockdown, as a limited run paperback. The hope was that it would sell 250 copies, with a best-case scenario target of 500, but the response exceeded all expectations and the final amount swelled to 1600 in a matter of weeks. Putting a cap on things at that point, the intention has since been to extend the book - this new publication fulfilling that aim.
All books will be dispatched via 1st class mail in secure wrap-around recyclable cardboard packaging.
SOME LOVE FROM THE LIMITED RUN
GILLES PETERSON
What a brilliant collection of stories from @dj_greg_wilson… Focus on key clubs and DJ’s that created the foundation for clubbing today… I can’t recommend it enough. Great work made with love and passion.
RICHARD SEARLING
Wow! What a brilliant new book from legendary club DJ @djgregwilson. From the Casino to the Haçienda and beyond. It’s a must-have for all lovers of the dance underground scene.
COLLEEN ‘COSMO’ MURPHY
I thought this would be a ‘bathroom book’ but I ended up reading it cover to cover in one sitting! Greg’s knowledge of this scene and his journalistic skills are brought together in a series of must-read snapshots about the people, places and songs integral to the development of dance music.
