Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, the Barbie soundtrack—Mark Ronson’s musical fingerprints are everywhere in our pop culture. Now comes his electrifying memoir, which captures the music, characters, escapades, and raw emotional journey of his DJ days in ’90s New York.

‘What happens when your music obsession catapults you beyond your wildest dreams? The answer is Night People – the most life-affirming coming-of-age story I’ve read in an age, with a soundtrack to die for. You know how your favourite record sounds? That’s how Mark Ronson writes.’ Pete Paphides, author of Broken Greek

Mark Ronson was born a night person. With hedonistic creatives for parents, parties became his playground. Yet, having moved to New York City from London at a young age, he always felt like a bit of an outsider, until discovering himself in the pulsing, unifying joy of the city’s parties and hip-hop scene. Each night brought a heady mix of music, ambition, danger, delight, and possibilities. Having well and truly caught the DJing bug, he worked to find his place and make his name in the city that never sleeps.

Night People conjures the undeniable magic of '90s New York. It evokes the rush of a time and place where fashionistas and rappers on the rise danced alongside club kids and 9-to-5'ers – and invites us into the tribe of creatives and partiers who came alive when the sun went down. A heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Night People is the definitive account of a cultural moment and the making of a musical mastermind.

Johnny Depp and Ewan McGregor star in this action comedy directed by David Koepp. Suave English art dealer Charlie Mortdecai (Depp) is notorious amongst his people for being able to charm his way into or out of any situation. When Police Inspector Martland (McGregor) receives a tip-off about a stolen painting containing the code to a bank account filled with Nazi gold, he employs Mortdecai as a consultant to use his knowledge and contacts to recover the stolen artefact. With his wife Johanna (Gwyneth Paltrow) and loyal thug Jock Strapp (Paul Bettany) by his side, Mortdecai sets off on a mission to retrieve the painting and, ultimately, the gold.
