In fairness I can't see how a book can teach the skill of DJing though.
I'd still be really interested to buy the book and read it - maybe I'll stand corrected. |

"Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" - Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton.
Now, it has a 2006 version.
"One of the best music books ever. Utterly unputdownable" Q"
"Fascinating, illuminating, thoughtful and insigtful" Muzik
For those who really LOVE and CARE about music, I recommend you to read this book. To me, it is a GREAT book!
My point is, dont get caught up in the bull of peoples opinion and tranceaddict forum, read out for the fact! |
great book....very interesting how they talk about ascap and bmi.
well worth the read. |

| my ex girlfriend bought me last night a dj saved my life and its a great read....very entertaining the style of the author. also its very thorough and a must-read for anyone remotely interested in the history of DJ'ing. if there was university history of DJ'ing course this would be the textbook. |

it doesn't. it's a book about the history of the dj.
overall i'd say it's not brilliant a brilliant book, but still good. the first 100 or so pages weren't very interesting to me. |

This is a great book. but i wonder why the authors diddnt really discuss about producing music.
it is said, what makes a GREAT DJ is collecting great music. Great DJ are not playing records, Great DJ are playing the dance floor.
in the book. there are a few explanation about producing music, and what makes me surprise is any great DJ doesnt have to produce music.
I think, these days if you want to be a great DJ, collecting a great records and playing the dance floor are still not enough. Any great DJ should produce their own brilliant music. |

I would recommend his "How to read properly" and "Last Night a DJ saved my life". Two great books and without them i wouldn't be alive today.
No they made me understand the meaning and appreciation of the dj. |
