Amazon back up; new speaking engagement on 5/13!

/in /by

Hey everybody,

Good news on two fronts! First off, the book is back up on Amazon and sales from both there and this web site are chugging along! That’s what we like to see, people, so keep it up! 🙂

Secondly, author/publisher Michael Tullberg is going to be taking part in a panel discussion at the new West Coast Weekender electronic music conference in San Diego! He’ll be appearing onstage on May 13th at 3:30 alongside a group of great speakers who really do represent the electronic music community. Topics for discussion will include Music As Catalyst For Social Change; Music, Consciousness & Activism; Social Community Responsibility; Voter Registration; Drug Policy Reform; Recycling Festival Waste.

And don’t forget that a mere two days later, Michael will be doing a book signing at Dr. Freecloud’s in Fountain Valley–see the previous post in this News section for details!

Amazon sales offline during Coachella

Hey everyone,

 

What’s up? Just letting everyone know that until April 26th, “DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM” will not be available for sale through Amazon, because up until that point Michael will be working for Getty Images at Coachella and will not be available to process orders. However, the book will still be available for online ordering on this web site, so no worries for anyone who wants to have it delivered to their door. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause, but Coachella is a full-time commitment and Michael simply isn’t going to have any time to squeeze in any order processing. We thank you for your understanding.

Hey all,

We’re pleased to announce that DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM author and publisher Michael Tullberg will be speaking at a number of electronic music industry-related conferences this year. He has just secured a spot on the opening panel for the “West Coast Weekender” conference on May 13th in San Diego. He will be taking part in a large group discussion entitled “Music For Positive Social Change” at 4:00 PM. Details about “West Coast Weekender” can be found here.

Michael has two more speaking engagements (so far!) planned for this year, including the massive EDMbiz industry trade show in June in Las Vegas, and the new “Parallel Realities” conference in Francavilla Al Mare in Italy this September. Those wishing to book Michael for future spoken word events can contact him through the DFTS web site (in other words, right here).

Plus, we have a new book signing coming up in May as well! Details to follow soon!

New “DFTS” Book Giveaway Contest for April!

/in /by

Hey folks!

Guess what? It’s time for the new Monthly “DFTS” Giveaway Contest for April! We had no successful winner for the March contest, so we’re going right ahead and kicking off April’s, with a twist! Unlike March, there’s not going to be any photos featured in this contest. That’s because the April contest instead consists of the silhouettes of famous Southern California rave fliers from the 1990s! Why fliers? Because we know that thousands of you guys saved loads of those classic fliers and are still holding on to them–which means if you’re one of those lucky people, you can go through your collection and see for yourself what parties and artists promo pieces are represented here! So take a look at the six blacked-out fliers, and do your best to get your free copy of “DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM“!

RAVE FLYER SILHOUETTES final

Be sure to send your entries through the feedback portion of this site. The contest ends on April 30, and will be featured on social media and the like, so GOOD LUCK!

No Contest Winner! :(
