Geoff Dearie (Author)
Becoming an author has been a slow progression for me. I studied a BA Media degree which incorporated Journalism and have had print in Best for Music, The Glasgow Herald and a host of other local papers in and around Glasgow. I furthered my academia by studying a PGDip.Ed at University of Glasgow and then a Counselling qualification at Napier University. Needless to say, communication is where my skillset lies. I currently have a host of publications, sold internationally, right here on amazon. I enjoy factual books and the likes of Naom Chomsky, autobiographys and self help books are my thing. Fiction wise i enjoy Christopher Brookmyre, Lee Child and all of these influence my inspiration when writing. In my spare time i am also a professional DJ and have been since the 90's where i have played alongside Paul Oakenfold, Sister Bliss, Marc Smith, Hixxy and Bass Generator. The best live band i ever saw was the Prodigy and the best DJ set iv heard was Adamski at SWG3 in 2019. Mind blowing and by far the best live set i have seen to date. I also had the priviledge of playing alonside Scott McCulloch aka Gerbil as part of a DJ partnership for years and never could match his ability to mix vinyl, nor have i ever seen anyone who could, then and to date. Please have a read of my stuff and feel free to leave a review or some feedback. Oh and before i forget, im also a fan of AI as a writing aid, modern dj controllers, sync buttons and anything to do with camerasThank youGeoff DearieRead more about this authorRead less about this author

Delve into the pulsating heart of rave culture, tracing its meteoric rise from the 1980s underground scenes to its current status as a worldwide phenomenon. This book captures the evolution of electronic dance music (EDM) and highlights key figures like Carl Cox, Danny Rampling, and Paul Oakenfold, who propelled the movement into the international spotlight.

Starting with the rebellious early days of warehouse parties, explore how these hidden gatherings laid the foundational beats of what would become a global cultural movement. Witness the transformation of rave from secretive, nocturnal events to massive, celebrated festivals like Tomorrowland, illustrating rave culture's explosive growth and enduring appeal.

Through compelling narratives and insightful analysis, journey from rave's modest origins to its present-day incarnations, shedding light on both its historic roots and its future directions. Understand the impact of rave culture on music, fashion, and societal norms, and discover how it continues to influence new generations of artists and music enthusiasts worldwide.

Ideal for fans of electronic music, cultural historians, and anyone intrigued by the dynamic interplay between music and social movements, this book offers a comprehensive look into not only where rave culture started but also where it is heading, enriching readers with a detailed portrayal of the dance music landscape. .
