Paradise Garage and the Lost Art of DJ'ing
Frank Broughton, Bill Brewster, Strut/Nuphonic Records, 2002
PUTTING A ROOMFUL of people in the moment. Amazing them, surprising them, challenging, even confusing them; pushing, electrifying, loving them; carrying them with you towards a better place. Shaking the dull daylight out of their bones, waking them into their other life.
