In an area rarely documented in any depth, The Virgin Encyclopedia of Dance Music is an essential companion for finding your way round all those key developments and their prime movers: the bands, the producers and the re-mixers.
The encyclopedia includes entries on performers who have often remained deliberately anonymous, on bands who have achieved the crossover to mainstream commercial success (Prodigy leading the way). There's the inner-city beat of Goldie, the studio wizardry of the Aphex Twins and the ambient sounds of the Orb, plus all the cutting-edge artists, from Carl Craig to Frankie Knuckles, and from Gaun Atkins to Kevin Saunderson.
Like all the Virgin music encyclopedias, the entries contain essential dates, key career facts, and a recommended discography -- including star ratings. Backed by the authority of The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, they form a genuinely unique and important source for all aspects of house, techno and ambient music.
