A new job for her mother and a possible move to another city threaten to part DJ from her horse.

The DJ stands at a juncture of technology, performance and culture in the increasingly uncertain climate of the popular music industry, functioning both as pioneer of musical taste and gatekeeper of the music industry. Together with promoters, producers, video jockeys (VJs) and other professionals in dance music scenes, DJs have pushed forward music techniques and technological developments in last few decades, from mashups and remixes to digital systems for emulating vinyl performance modes. This book is the outcome of international collaboration among academics in the study of electronic dance music. Mixing established and upcoming researchers from the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Australia and Brazil, the collection offers critical insights into DJ activities in a range of global dance music contexts. In particular, chapters address digitization and performativity, as well as issues surrounding the gender dynamics and political economies of DJ cultures and practices.

When Derek Johnstone scored the winning goal for Rangers in the 1970 League Cup Final against Celtic at just sixteen years of age, he became an overnight sensation. It was an incredible start to an incredible career and the first of his 210 goals for the club. And from that moment on, DJ never looked back. In DJ - The Derek Johnstone Story, he now tells the full inside story of how it all happened. There's the 1972 Cup Winners' Cup success in Barcelona, the realities of life under Willie Waddell and Jock Wallace, the tragedy of the Ibrox Disaster, his Argentina 1978 World Cup hell, his emotional exit from Ibrox under Graeme Souness, his time as manager at Partick Thistle and the highs and lows of a private life which made tabloid headlines all too often.

Written by former DJ/producer Harold Heath, ‘Long Relationships: My Incredible Journey From Unknown DJ to Small-time DJ’ is a biographical account of a DJ career defined by a deep love of music and a shallow amount of success. From the days of vinyl, when DJs were often also glass-collectors, to the era of megastar stadium EDM, it’s a journey of 30 odd years on a low-level, economy-class rollercoaster through the ups and downs of an ever-changing music industry. ‘Long Relationships’ is a love letter to DJing and to every small-town DJ who never made it to the big time but whose life was enriched and improved by DJing anyway. It’s packed with tales of gigs, clubs, raves, warehouses, music, record production and record deals, low-rent international travel, shady promoters, dodgy club security, magical dance floor moments and much more. If you ever DJed, if you ever lost yourself on a dance floor, or if you ever simply fell in love with the potential contained within a dark basement, a strobe and a sound system, then this story is your story.
