#Matt anniss update
When Velocity Press offered me the chance to update and expand the book, I took the opportunity. Other critics have highlighted the level of research behind the book.Ĭommenting on the new edition, Matt Anniss said: “Since the publication of Join The Future in 2019, I’ve been blown away by the feedback from readers and delighted with the reception from critics. In 2021, Rolling Stone UK cited it as one of the best non-fiction books on British dance music culture, alongside music books that are considered genuinely key texts such as Dan Hancox’s ‘Inner City Pressure’ and Jon Savage’s E’ngland’s Dreaming’. Since the book’s publication, it has become a ‘must-read’ for anyone interested in the development of British dance music culture and received hugely positive feedback from critics. Mixing social, cultural and oral history, Anniss puts forward a persuasive argument that it not only inspired the development of more celebrated styles of British dance music, but should also be considered the foundation of what many now call ‘UK bass’ (that collection of styles that put heavy sub-bass to the fore). Join The Future traces the roots, origins, development and legacy of bleep & bass (sometimes known as ‘bleep techno’), a highly influential but previously overlooked style of UK dance music that emerged from Yorkshire and the Midlands from 1988 onwards. Three years after it was first published, Matt Anniss’s critically acclaimed alternative history of UK dance music in the acid house era is returning to stores in updated and expanded form.īoasting even more interviews, sharpened analysis, strengthened arguments, an updated recommended listening list and a whole new ‘afterword’ chapter, this is the definitive revised edition of what author Matthew Collin called ‘a significant addition to the canon of dance music literature’.Īnniss will also take to the road in February DJ Mag's Matt Anniss speaks to the Bay Area DJs and soundsystem crews who started it all, and shaped how contemporary West Coast artists get down today Matt Anniss Wednesday, J10:30 Every summer since 2005, Claude VonStroke’s DirtyBird crew has hosted a BBQ party in one of San Francisco’s many harbourside parks.
