Dj Skills: Essential guide to mixing and scratching
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I mean, how can you write a comprehensive book on DJ'ing, Skratching, AND the history of records and recording combined? once I picked up this book and started going through it I realized, Yes, this is it! I LOVE this book! the first really together book on DJing/history/Skratch I know. The original! all the way back to EDISON! ROOTS! Whether you are a dance DJ, Skratch DJ, or are a friend or loved one of someone who is, I would recommend this book to you. Interview with Qbert! and Herbie Hancock! and BT(my hero)! Great for casual reading. You can open it up to any section and find cool stuff. -
Last Night a DJ Saved my life: History of the Disc Jockey
I bought this book specifically for the history of techno and electronica music and was extremely impressed by the depth of coverage this book has on the impact of the DJ on the music scene. The authors do an amazing job of documenting the transition from one genre of music into another and give us a detailed glimpses into the lives and personalities of the DJs that spawned these new genres. In order to understand techno and its origins, I ended up flipping all the way back to the origins of house music in the Chicago night clubs of the 70s. One of the things I really liked about this book is that the authors have the ability to take you to ground zero. Their descriptions of the clubs make you feel like you've been there and their insight into the DJs make you feel like you know them. This book is a great accomplishment for two obviously very talented writers. -
