Kirk Field recalls the ’90s rave explosion in new book

Take a ride through the nineties.

Kirk Field’s book about 1990s rave culture is now out via Nine Eight.

The dance music reporter, who has written for Mixmag, DJ Mag and NME, recalls the club explosion in Rave New World: Confessions Of A Raving Reporter. Through a mixture of first-person narrative, anecdotes and social commentary, Field writes about the scene across Europe and beyond.

“From dancing in an airfield in Suffolk to staring down the barrel of a gangster’s gun in Soviet-era Moscow. From selling cartons of Ribena for £1 to losing £150,000 on a rave in a Spanish bullring. From playing with The Prodigy in a Sports Hall in Cambridge, to waiting for a chauffeur to ‘Top of The Pops’. This is the story of adventure and discovery as rushed the gurn of the millennium,” describes a statement for the book.

Rave New World is available to order now.
