About this deal

What makes the book particularly readable despite its length is the sincere affection the authors have for their subject. The authors, quite simply, love the love and connection created between the DJ, the club-goers, and the music. They also have a particular affection for the warmth and welcoming to all of DJ club culture; this is especially showcased in the book's chapters on Northern Soul, Garage, House, and UK Acid House (the latter of which, I think the authors must have grown up experiencing). I particularly liked those chapters, for that reason.

The most popular account relates that in 1950 Todd Storz, station owner of Omaha’s KOWH, was one day watching customers choose records from a diner jukebox.

With the capacity of the jukebox in mind, Storz named the concept “Top 40” and applied it to radio programming with great success. WABC in New York adopted it in late 1960 and by 1962 was the city’s number one station. The DJ’s early years were fraught with such mistrust and he met opposition from all sides. The musicians didn’t want to see records put them out of a job; the record companies were afraid that hearing records played on the radio would stop people from going out and buying them; and ASCAP, the publishing organization, didn’t want its songs broadcast without greater and greater royalties. In 2004, UK house/ trance music producer Seamus Haji made several popular remixes of the song through his own label, Big Love Records, and released them on a 12" single titled "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (ATFC Mixes)". This version reached number thirteen on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart in 2006. shellac shortage (a ship carrying huge amounts of the stuff had just been sunk), Capitol's chairman Glenn E.

The AFM were aided in this by the Federal Radio Commission, who as Arnold Passman wrote, “attempted everything this side of public hangings to curb the practice.” Musicians called the broadcast of recorded music "DeForest's prime evil." Stations paid no performance fee to the artists whose records they used, and every time one was played on the radio At the end of 1906, on Christmas Eve, American engineer Reginald A.
