Adventures on the Wheels of Steel by Dave Haslam

Adventures on the Wheels of Steel by Dave Haslam

DJs like Fatboy Slim, Sasha and Paul Oakenfold are the new pop stars: high priests in the rapidly expanding world of dance music. Drawing on many nights out, this is DJ Dave Haslam's fascinating collection of portraits of the major players.

‘Having checked his DJ ego in at the cloakroom, Haslam roams far and wide in his journey, unafraid of the less glamorous fringes of DJ cultureHaslam emerges as a thoroughly likeable, self-deprecating character. Haslam demonstrates a genuine warmth and passion for his subject, coupled with a scholarly attention to detail.’ Q Magazine

‘He is one of the most erudite and incisive commentators on club culture. This book crosses the gulf that exists between music industry reportage and genuine social documentation.’ i-D Magazine

‘This book cuts through the hype and describes the reality of DJs' experience in a way only a one-time resident DJ of the Hacienda could.’ Dazed & Confused

Dave Haslam DJ-ed at the Haçienda through the 'Madchester' years and has since DJ-ed regularly at clubs like Home and 'Cream', and round the world, including Ibiza, Chicago, Paris, Berlin, Zurich and Detroit. He has played gigs with dozens of bands, including the Stone Roses and New Order. Among his current residencies are 'Golden' and 'Tonto Bongo' (Manchester), and 'Strictly Handbag' (Dublin). He has written for NME, the FACE and the OBSERVER.
