Matt Anniss

Since the dawn of the 1990s, British dance music has been in thrall to the seductive
power of weighty sub-bass. It is a key ingredient in a string of British-pioneered genres, including hardcore, jungle, drum & bass, dubstep, UK garage and grime. In Join The Future, dance music journalist Matt Anniss traces the roots, origins, development and legacy of the sound that started it all: the first distinctively British form of electronic dance music, bleep techno.

Includes quotes drawn from hundreds of interviews with DJs, dancers, producers and
record label owners, including Cabaret Voltaire, Nightmares On Wax, LFO, Altern8, A
Guy Called Gerald, 808 State, Fabio & Grooverider, 4 Hero and many more.
