I just ordered ''Energy Flash'' and would like to learn more about the history of dance music. Could you recommend me any other books on the subject?

Noughties to late eighties. That's when the oldest tunes I would want to DJ came out.

that's great, as is Modulations (although a bit dated now). Altered States is a good book about drugs and early dance music, really interesting

Tobias Rapp - Lost And Sound is a really good book about the history of dance music in Berlin.

Cool, I''ll check that

From what I've seen most of the books are about the british scene... Now if anyone knows about a book on the history of house music, that would be great too.
