About this product
Product Information
Foreword - Ross Clarke I met Mark Rae in the late 1980s. He was skinny, hip hop obsessed and dressed like a Geordie LL Cool J. He had a dark sense of humour, was funny and hard to forget. Even though we were at the same Uni in Manchester we actually really got to know each other in Sheffield through mutual friends. It was the weekend of the Hillsborough disaster and my abiding memory was a constant haunting wall of sound of sirens. Later we ended up DJing together, creating a club night called Feva with Kevin Hyde that was one of Manchester's few successful non-house nights at the time. It was all going well, until Kev, our partner in crime killed himself, without any real explanation - it stunned us all and stopped us in our tracks. I'm not sure either of us saw the world the same again after that, but we've never really talked about it. Meanwhile Madchester became Gunchester and Mark and I lived and worked together with Dave Walker and along with Ed Pitt they formed Fat City Records. Drive-bys, the best hip hop of the early 90s, stolen sound systems, armed robber MCs and much more crossed our paths in club and shop. Much of this time is better described in much greater detail by Rae in his memoir Northern Sulphuric Soulboy. I left Manchester and we fell out of touch for a good while. Mark formed Grand Central Records and his band Rae and Christian. Both with this label and as an artist Rae was even more of a triumph. Musically, the mid to late 90s was an amazing time with hip hop, trip hop, drum n bass, breakbeat, nu-soul and more all exploding and constantly cross breeding across the UK and the world. DJ culture was ascendant and new musical genres and great artists and DJs abounded. Mark was not only a fine selector of music, but after years of bedroom DJing from the mid 80s he was also an incredible scratcher and mixer. He put knowledge, skill and soul to great use making his own music (including at least one classic of the era, Spellbound with Veba), remixed some of the greats of the time, made friends with Bobby Womack and contributed as much to the Manchester scene as anyone at that time also touring the world as a DJ and Producer. I say all this to give this book you hold in your hand what you might call context. Northern Sulphuric Soulboy is a kind of prequel to The Caterpillar Club. This book is a story about what happens when the dancing stops but your head and feet still want to join the dots. It opens in a barely disguised approximation of the Notting Hill branch of Soho House where a DJ, Simon, is struggling with the reality of post i-Phone, post Spotify, post caring DJing. Time and technology can do that to a profession. From the second summer of love in 1988 through to sometime around the first i-Phone, DJs ruled the roost. But then like many of the creative industries the digitalisation of the world made YouTube and Google billionaires and paupers of the makers and creators. Rae's universe is one where the only person who seems to really care about music is the DJ, and he's pilloried for doing so. Anyone who has DJed in a so-called members club or DJ bar in the last ten years will recognise this hell is other people with smart phones scenario where keeping the punters happy involves Bieber and Britney rather beats and rhymes. In fact, caring about things seems to be a positive disadvantage in The Caterpillar Club and the source of much misery for Simon and his wife Sonia. Rae's protagonist, Simon, an ageing DJ who plays football once a week and can barely walk afterward, carries a heavy load both literally and metaphorically. His vinyl (which is stolen and later sold to fund his hope for a future) is the albatross of this DJ overtaken by Serato and USB sticks. Simon has a music career that is now in tatters. But this isn't About A Boy for the Rave Generation more Generation X meets the world of medicine for the middle aged (Rae himself is a psychology graduate). Rae digs
