Place reservation for Party lines : dance music and the making of modern BritainFrom the illicit reggae blues dances and acid-rock free festivals of the 1970s, through the ecstasy-fuelled Second Summer of Love in 1988, to the increasingly corporate dance music culture of the post-Covid era, 'Party Lines' is a groundbreaking new history of UK dance music, exploring its pivotal role in the social, political, and economic shifts on which modern Britain has been built. Challenging popular narratives about the history of dance music, journalist and film-maker Ed Gillett explores a fifty-year struggle between the desire of young Britons to collectively lose and rediscover themselves on the dancefloor, and the use of ever-expanding government and policing powers to control, monetize, and stifle those radical impulses.
