Jim Butler has published a feature about my somewhat improbably journey from dancing to writing books about dancing to party hosting to DJing in IAMCRÜ.
You can find the full feature here.
Justin Strauss, Worldwide FM
I'm hosting a Worldwide FM show with NYC DJ/production legend and feet-on-the-ground sweetheart Justin Strauss tomorrow 1:00-3:00pm GMT.
On the chitchat menu: the Mudd Club, the Ritz, Area, friendships with Ivan Baker / François Kevorkian / Larry Levan / Keith Haring, the dark days and nights of the mid/late 1980s and 1990s, the club kids era of Tunnel and Limelight, and staying true to one's musical and social values in a hectically-commercial world.
On the music menu: 40 years of recordings that caused a stir in NYC.
Tune in live at Worldwide FM and catch up at wrldwd.fm/tlawrence2 x
Love Injection on WWFM
I was on Worldwide FM interviewing these lovely people--Love Injection editors/DJs/party hosts Barbara Bertisch and Paul Raffaele. First track: Karl Hector & Nicolas Tounga "Ngunga Yeti Fofa (The Joaquin Joe Claussell Electric Afrika version)". Always good to see Victoria Topping's gorgeous artwork for the awesome On the Corner records in the WWFM studio! The show will be archive here.
Mediapolis interview
I hope you've all had a great summer.
Just before the holidays kicked in Lawrence Webb conducted an interview with me for the cities and culture journal Mediapolis. It took on a life-force of its own and so has been published in two parts:
Part I: www.mediapolisjournal.com/2018/08/the-mediapolis-qa-tim-lawrence-part-one/
Part II: www.mediapolisjournal.com/2018/08/the-mediapolis-qa-tim-lawrence-part-two/
Hope you enjoy x
Life and Death interview on the IASPM-US
I was very happy to have been interviewed about Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor by Jarek Ervin of IASMPUS, now published here. It's all gone quite well with L&D, I guess I should write another book...
