I had no journalistic training, couldn’t type and didn’t have a typewriter! All I had was two fingers and the truth. When Mixmag published my feature, it was the very first coverage of raves in the mag, and the response led to Dave Seaman (editor at the time) asking me to cover the next party – Sunrise, in June ‘89. From there, I became known as their ‘raving reporter’ and did the first interviews with The Orb, KLF, The Grid, The Shamen and reports from Glastonbury and a small island off the coast of Spain.

Kirk has created an entertaining account of the birth of modern clubbing and all the magical, hilarious or down-right dodgy characters he met along the way. Like Kirk, the book is lively and relentless, but as opposed to painting himself as the star, Kirk is as self-deprecating as he is humble about his legacy as a dance music journalist. Banned Books".

Rave culture is affecting pop culture in ways similar to the Beat Generation--and it's being misinterpreted in the same way," says Greg Harrison, director of the new movie Groove, a fictional take on the rave scene. "In the case of the Beats, a complex and subtle ethos was distilled by pop culture to marijuana, goatees and poetry. I would argue that just as there was much more to the Beats, there's something more subtle and interesting about the rave scene."

Dance music documentarian Kirk Field pens new book Rave New World

Linda, John's mother, decanted as a Beta-Minus in the World State, originally worked in the DHC's Fertilizing Room, and subsequently lost during a storm while visiting the New Mexico Savage Reservation with the Director many years before the events of the novel. Despite following her usual precautions, Linda became pregnant with the Director's son during their time together and was therefore unable to return to the World State by the time that she found her way to Malpais. Having been conditioned to the promiscuous social norms of the World State, Linda finds herself at once popular with every man in the pueblo (because she is open to all sexual advances) and also reviled for the same reason, seen as a whore by the wives of the men who visit her and by the men themselves (who come to her nonetheless). Her only comforts there are mescal brought by Popé as well as peyotl. Linda is desperate to return to the World State and to soma, wanting nothing more from her remaining life than comfort until death. Along the way there’s accidental acid spiking, run-ins with armed-guards, never-before shared Ibiza club secrets not to mention cameos from The KLF, Diego Maradonna and Her Majesty The Queen. Darwin Bonaparte, a "big game photographer" (i.e. filmmaker) who films John flogging himself.

He renews his fame by filming the savage, John, in his newest release "The Savage of Surrey". [29] His name alludes to Charles Darwin and Napoleon Bonaparte. Sakmann, Lindsay.

I’m afraid to say I’ve been disappointed with the superstar DJ memoirs; they feel constrained and censored. I waited 30 years to write my book and was determined to tell the truth; my mistakes, idiocies and failures, as well as my victories. The religion aspect of the game has changed some of the available religions. The current Christian religion has been renamed " Catholicism", and other sects of Christianity, including Eastern Orthodoxy and Protestantism (both appearing originally in the Into the Renaissance scenario), have been added.

From birth, members of every class are indoctrinated by recorded voices repeating slogans while they sleep (called "hypnopædia" in the book) to believe their own class is superior, but that the other classes perform needed functions. Any residual unhappiness is resolved by an antidepressant and hallucinogenic drug called soma. Huxley, Aldous (1998). Brave New World (First Perennial Classicsed.).

For a while it seems that John might be left alone, after the public's attention is drawn to other diversions, but a documentary maker has secretly filmed John's self-flagellation from a distance, and when released the documentary causes an international sensation. Helicopters arrive with more journalists. Crowds of people descend on John's retreat, demanding that he perform his whipping ritual for them. From one helicopter a young woman emerges who is implied to be Lenina. John, at the sight of a woman he both adores and loathes, whips at her in a fury and then turns the whip on himself, exciting the crowd, whose wild behaviour transforms into a soma-fuelled orgy. The next morning John awakes on the ground and is consumed by remorse over his participation in the night's events.

Popé, a native of Malpais. Although he reinforces the behaviour that causes hatred for Linda in Malpais by sleeping with her and bringing her mescal, he still holds the traditional beliefs of his tribe. In his early years John attempted to kill him, but Popé brushed off his attempt and sent him fleeing. He gave Linda a copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare. (Historically, Popé or Po'pay was a Tewa religious leader who led the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 against Spanish colonial rule.) chapter 3, "Our Ford-or Our Freud, as, for some inscrutable reason, he chose to call himself whenever he spoke of psychological matters–Our Freud had been the first to reveal the appalling dangers of family life"a b "100 Best Novels".
