DOUBLE GOOD NEWS! SteveAoki.com and VICE love “Dancefloor Thunderstorm”!

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):
