Emerging from Nottingham in the summer of 1989, the DiY Collective were one of the first house sound systems in the UK.

Produktbeschreibung
Emerging from Nottingham in the summer of 1989, the DiY Collective were one of the first house sound systems in the UK. Merging the anarchic lineage of the free festival scene, the cultural and political anger of bands like Crass with the new, irresistible electronic pulse of acid house, they bridged the idealistic void left by the moral implosion of the commercial rave scene. From Castlemorton to the Café del Mar, the DiY sound and DJs became internationally renowned and beneath their banners of liberty, collectivism and untrammelled hedonism achieved an underground cult status that endures to this day. Having celebrated their thirtieth anniversary in 2109, DiY continue to challenge the idea that dance music is apolitical and to celebrate the ideology of liberation through fun. Written by Harry Harrison, one of DiY's founding members, this book traces their origins back to early formative experiences, describing in detail the seminal clubs, parties, festivals and records that forged the collective. Dreaming in Yellow is an attempt to distil the story of DiY's tumultuous existence and the remarkably eclectic, outrageous and occasionally deranged story of them doing it themselves.

Autorenporträt
In 1986, already a veteran of both the Hacienda and free festivals, Harry Harrison moved from his hometown of Bolton to Nottingham to study law, intending to become a human rights lawyer. Instead, he became a founder member of DiY, an ever-expanding collective of DJs, party organisers, clubbers, travellers and degenerates who achieved international notoriety in the early nineties following their involvement in seminal outlaw events such as the Castlemorton free festival.
