Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey
Recommended By
A book by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton that serves as a great DJ history primer, reissued in 2006, which uses language delightfully antecedent to chopped & screwed digital music vernaculars.
Last Night a DJ Saved My Life was the first comprehensive history of the disc jockey, a figure who has become a powerful force shaping the music industry—and since its original publication, the book has become a cult classic. Now, with five new chapters and over a hundred pages of additional material, this updated and revised edition of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life reasserts itself as the definitive account of DJ culture, from the first record played over airwaves to house, hip hop, techno, and beyond.
