    With Bill Brewster

    Ben Cardew spoke to hugely respected author and DJ Bill Brewster about Burn It Up: The Rise Of British Dance Music 1986-1991, his new compilation for Cherry Red, which traces a fascinating period in British dance music. They talked about Samantha Fox and Steinski; Hans Zimmer, Mel and Kim, the Paradise Garage; and why house took off in the UK where hip hop didn’t really. Plus they discuss how to balance recognising dance music history without being a dance-floor bore and Bill talks about his excellent books with Frank Broughton, Last Night a DJ Saved My Life and How To DJ (Properly).
