Description
The Second Summer of Love: How Dance Music Took Over the World In the late 1980s, a new global music movement was born in Britain's dancefloors. As the country was gripped by Thatcherism, a different kind of culture emerged, one that celebrated peace, love, and unity. Four friends from London, who took a week-long holiday to Ibiza in 1987, played a significant role in shaping this movement. Through exclusive contributions from some of the world's biggest DJs, including Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Moby, and Danny Rampling, this book faithfully recreates the story of the summers of 1988 and 1989. It's an authentic account of the birth and rise of dance music and club culture, complete with stunning photographs, that brings to life the underground scene which would go on to alter the course of global youth culture forever. With a unique perspective from the people who helped make it happen, this book is a fascinating look at the politics, music, drugs, and fashion of that glorious period.
