Got some good news for you guys–we’ve just recently expanded our Media section to include the new podcast interviews that Michael has been doing to plug the book! We’ve put two Soundcloud interviews in the new Podcast subsection, and two YouTube-based interviews in the Videos subsection! All in all, plenty of informative entertainment for the rave music fan at home! So go ahead and start listening!
Stay tuned for more news coming SOON!
Hey everyone, we know it’s been a little while since the last post, but there was a very good reason for that…we were quite busy getting new stories out in exciting new outlets! There were two that really came through for us, the first one being the web site of the world famous EDM DJ/producer STEVE AOKI! Yes, the cake-throwing maniac (haha) has decided to put a great interview with Michael up online, accompanied by a fantastic gallery of classic images…including some not found in “DFTS”! Here’s the link to the story on his website, steveaoki.com:

Also included in this story is a link to Michael’s great story about he and DJ Sandra Collins getting “kidnapped” (no, not really) by Superstar DJ Keoki in 1999. Here’s the link to that video:

And on top of that, we also scored a great podcast interview with VICE.COM, on their Rave Curious show. Michael sat down with VICE’s Josh Glazer to talk about the book, the original rave scene, and the trials of putting together such a mammoth project. Full disclosure: Josh was also the editor for “DFTS”, and it was great to be able to chat about this without having to explain everything to an uncomprehending interviewer who had no experience in the field. Here’s the link to the podcast on iTunes (free download):

More to come!!! STAY TUNED!!!
LOOK AT THIS!!! The techno god Richie Hawtin is so happy to have his copy of “DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM“! And hey, why not? After all, he rocked the rave scene back in the day and he has two KILLER pictures in the book! When I showed Richie the pictures of him spinning back in his Plastikman era, he was like, “Oh my GOD.” Now, you can take that however way you want…I personally like to think that he was gobsmacked by the images, but then again I’m biased 😉
Yeah, like this one. Anyone care to guess what party this was?
Hey all,
Great news! After striking a deal with the music streaming service Arena.com, we’ve set up a t-shirt sales page on Arena’s site!

The first shirt is already up, and it features the “DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM” title logo on a black or cinder background. Here’s a (so-so) screenshot of the page on Arena’s site:
