hey everyone. Some of you may know, but I suspect most do not know that back in the 1990s I was one of the biggest selling DJs in the world. I'm excited to announce that my my memoirs about that time in my life is released now.

Here is the book trailer (NSFW - Several F-bombs so careful where you watch it):
Here is the blurb:
Drugs. Overdoses. Murder. A coroner’s inquest. Showdowns with the police, media, and government. Long before EDM, raves were the illicit dance parties of myth and legend. They happened mostly in secret, beneath the surface of society while everyone else was sleeping. Requiem for My Rave tells the story of best-selling DJ and world-class promoter Anabolic Frolic, who found himself at the leading edge of 1990s rave culture.
While Anabolic Frolic fought to build a force for good for his many dedicated fans, he found himself at the centre of controversies he never could have imagined. Requiem for My Rave is an explosive memoir where Frolic shines a light on this generally misunderstood subculture. His powerful personal story is about the one person that found himself at the heart of everything, the steep price he paid, and the lessons that endured.

Some of you may recognize my CD series, Happy2bHardcore, which were ubiquitous in 1990s music stores. It was the biggest selling electronic series of that time.

I took some inspiration from pinball for several of the chapter titles and parts of the book. You will recognize things like Beneficial Malfunction, Tilt, Shoot Again and Wizard mode, among others.

Because Amazon makes the selling and shipping easy, and it's not cost effective for me to sign books for shipping, I've come up with a solution. I had 6 x 9 postcards with the book cover made that I can send to anyone. Just PM me your name and address and I'll mail one out and you can keep it with your book .

I started work on this book 14 years ago, it's the last bit of unfinished business about that time in my life, as well as telling a story that's never been told before.
Thanks!
