Acclaimed authors and music historians Bill Brewster and Frank
Broughton have spent years traveling across the world to interview
the revolutionary and outrageous DJs who shaped the last
half-century of pop music. The Record Players is the fun and
revealing result--a collection of firsthand accounts from the
obsessives, the playboys, and the eccentrics that dominated the
music scene and contributed to the evolution of DJ culture. It
started when, instead of a live band, someone turned on the record
player, and suddenly partygoers had more than one style of music to
dance to. In the sixties, radio tastemakers brought their sound to
the masses, sock hop by sock hop, while early trendsetters birthed
the role of the club DJ at temples of hip like the Peppermint
Lounge. By the seventies, DJs were dictating musical taste and
changing the course of popular music; and in the eighties, young
innovators wore out their cross-faders developing techniques that
carried them over the line between record player and musician. With
discographies, favorite songs, and amazing photos of all the DJs as
young firebrands, The Record Players offers an unparalleled music
education: from records to synthesizers, from disco to techno, and
from small groups of influential music lovers to arenas packed with
thousands of dancing fans. A history told by the visionaries who
experienced the movement, The Record Players allows a rare glimpse
into the sound, culture, and craft that developed into a worldwide
industry.
