Dance Music Saved My Life | Bill Brewster (DJHistory.com)

Never heard of Bill Brewster and only found out after reading this article on a local dj that still djing. I haven’t been keeping up with dance music for about 20 years, but before that, i was on top of it all. I feel as Bill is speaking, i can totally relate bc I’ve been interested in dance music since the mid 70’s and caught on with house music since about 85-86. I even worked at 2 main dance music stores and had my own in San Francisco. In the last 20 years, I’ve missed chasing new music and trying to figure out how to get back in with all my experience and he’s right, not many books out about dj and dance music culture. Same with not many movies and documentaries out on dance music culture and more ppl. need to make them for other to see and have as a reference. I’ll keep learning more about this man and maybe something will hit me on how I can contribute again to the dance music community.

Also, I would like to buy the book, but I’m not sure which version to get and which one is the newest and has more added. Like the one with the yellow cover and states is revisited vs the dark cover version that states 100 pages added or extra or the one with the record album covers.

Someone about 8 years ago thought I should do a podcast on dance music and maybe I should lean towards that direction.
