It’s time to further your funky music education. If you’ve ever wondered how turntables evolved into an instrument, check out Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton.
This punchy, well-organized book educates readers with light-hearted tales about parties, mixing, the art of the DJ and the development of various music genres from Northern Soul to Hip Hop.
