Set for release , the the book aptly titled The Secret DJ fers an unapologetic and honest glimpse into this unique lifestyle. As Faber provides the book’s synopsis:
“A globally recognised DJ takes us on a personal journey through a life in the hedonistic fast lane club culture over the last thirty years. From world-class venues in Ibiza to local pub function rooms, this is less an instruction manual and more a cautionary tale, which will illuminate anyone who has harboured an ambition to fill a dance floor.
“The Secret DJ is both the story a rave generation whose days pills, thrills and bellyaches are behind them, and a shockingly honest exposé what really goes on behind the beat.”
One such story from the forthcoming book, that is , tells The Secret DJ traveling to Miami for the annual Winter Music Conference. Here is a portion the story:
"I ten have to check my luggage for drugs. Usually a nice airport security staff member will do this for me, but I like to do it myself first. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no idiot. It’s futile and stressful to transport anything under prohibition, but people genuinely do throw drugs at you. Sometimes literally. With the best intentions in the world, they can put a ‘gift’ drugs in your bags at the club. It doesn’t occur to them that in a few hours those same bags will go through X-ray scanners and past dogs and machine-gun-wielding hormonal steroid-beasts. Also there’s every chance someone like Tour Manager will put some in there completely innocently ‘for safe keeping’ and then immediately forget they are there. So it’s always best to check."
