Format:Hardcover
I have to say that I am extremely impressed! I bought this book thinking it was going to be one thing and after reading it have to say it wasn't what I was initially expecting. However, it has superceeded my expectations. The first section of the book delves deep into the technical aspects of DJ'ing right from the basics through to advanced - covering radio, promotion, pitfalls to avoid, tips to set yourself apart and great insight into legals, financials and useful little check lists.
It was section 2 that surprised me - and this is where I think this book may really make a big difference and where it offers something unique in relation to the other books I've read in this field (including Bill Brewster's recommended How To DJ Properly). Rampling covers a whole range of 'life skills' - tips and techniques that one can apply in their life whatever their 'walk' to help them achieve more. Whilst I found myself thinking that many of the points were 'common sense' I realised that they weren't 'common practice' - myself not doing many of them. I've personally already seen improvements in my relationships and outlook since implementing just 2 of the tips and I've barely started on the suggestions!
Section 3's stacked full of what must be hundreds upon hundreds of bonus resources, links and specialist DJ charts. 17 sections worth. I haven't even got into that section yet but it looks conclusive!
I've also still yet to watch the 4 hour DVD which is included - where Rampling interviews industry figureheads such as Pete Tong, Joey Negro & David Morales. So much to get through still.
If there's one negative, I'd have liked a few more photos throughout and the insighful, useful content interspersed with more of his own personal anecdotes for which the dance industry is renowned. Maybe that will be in a follow up or second edition!
I used to listen to Danny Rampling when I was growing up - initially on Kiss FM then on his Love Groove Dance Party BBC Radio 1 show and I have to say I always enjoyed and appreciated his spirit of giving. This book really drives home how much he wants to share his life experience as fully as possible to help others and although I've not finished it all yet I've more than had my moneys worth already.

I'm well impressed with the content of this book - I've learnt so many more ways to get the best out of myself and my decks. All of the information is well laid out and is very user-friendly. It's a great looking book too - well designed, bright and inspiring.
I really like the sections on 'personal development' which can help you to become a better person overall and much more than a good DJ. Overall, a positive, motivating and engaging read.

This book is well structured, weighted with industry expert knowledge and reads very well. I particularly like the Success aspect which I feel postitively differentiates it from other DJ books I have read out there. Practical sound advice through out, certainly would recommend.
