In this episode, I talk to Dave Haslam about finding our identity, authenticity, constantly evolving to keep building our creativity, trying new things, dealing with rejection and criticism, the importance of nightlife on society and how a DJ can build relationships and bring people together on the dance floor.
Dave cut his cultural teeth as a DJ at the Hacienda and has since become one of THE great cultural and social authorities. Alongside his work as a researcher and presenter, he has written several top-class books, including ‘Life After Dark: A History of British Nightclubs & Music Venues’ – really an essential read and re-read given the direct and indirect attacks on nightlife culture – and a limited edition “Art Decades” series of really wonderful mini books covering his personal record collection, Courtney Love, Keith Haring and Sylvia Plath.
