About the author:

After being reborn in a laser-filled courtyard in Hackney in 1989, Kirk Field has blazed a trail in the dance music world for 35+ years as a promoter, performer, (almost) pop star and clubbing travel pioneer. His thoughts have appeared in Mixmag, DJ Magazine, Time Out, Ministry and (ironically) The Sun.

His first book, ‘rave new world: Confessions of a Raving Reporter (Nine Eight), won an ARIA award for ‘Audiobook of the Year’ in 2024 and became the UK’s most popular rave/dance music book with its intoxicating mix of history, hedonism and humour.

In 1999 he set up radical escapes: the world’s first holiday company catering exclusively for clubbers and has taken over 10,000 people on holiday to Ibiza alone: all rich content for his follow-up, “planes, trains & amphetamines: Clubbing Holiday Confessions (velocity Press).

His unique one-man spoken word show has appeared at Glastonbury Festival, Edinburgh Fringe and in UK theatres and has been called ”cabaret for the chemical generation’.
