Default If you buy one Dance Music book this year...

...then it should probably be this one!

Otiz F Angel has been many things in his life, and now he turns his hand to writing, with the release of his new book, 'Rave Story'. Although written from an autobiographical point of view, the focus of the book is to provide the reader with a look at the birth and coming of age of the Rave scene in the UK - from the first days of Acid House to the superclubs and international DJs of today, through the eyes of Angel as he makes his personal journey from the dark days of drug-dealing and gangsterism in his youth to becoming the respected music producer, club owner and social entrepreneur he is today.

Angel shares with us the euphoria and the paranoia, the love and the violence, the wild weekends and grim weekdays dedicated to the earning of a living through the industry of hedonism. There are some laughs along the way, too, Angel's first experience of driving a car can't fail to raise a smile, and the gigolo's anecdote - well, wait till you read it!

An honest and compelling read, Rave Story is written from the heart. It will strike a chord with all those who have been inspired by the Rave scene's "do it yourself" ethos and perhaps push some people into taking their first steps towards running their life their own way.

Check out the website for more info, plus the first chapter of the book to whet your appetite!

Check Otiz F Angel - HOME for more info - but really, even if you don't know who he is, the book is really interesting in its own right. I mean, if it was sold as fiction, and used a different name for the central character, it'd still be a good read!
