Rave New World

“Funny, intelligent and never sensationalised. Whether you’re into the rave scene or not, this is an irrepressible read…starry-eyed and laughing rather than glazed and crazed. 4⁄5.” - Record Collector“Never a dull moment…. packed to the eyeballs with vivid anecdotes and a five-star cast list.” - Electronic Sound”(A) Fantastic account of the dance revolution…documented in exhilarating fashion. Rave New World is an intoxicating love letter to one of music’s most misunderstood eras. 4⁄5.” - Classic Pop“Love this book! It triggers so many memories of the rave era. Thoroughly recommended.” - Fatboy Slim“Captures the hedonism and humour of the nineties with a laugh-out-loud honesty. The perfect Ibiza holiday read…if you can get it through customs!” - Judge Jules

Kirk Field was re-born in June 1989 in a courtyard in Hackney and spent the next decade of his life dancing, travelling, writing, singing and promoting some of London’s biggest club nights, his words appearing in the likes of Mixmag, DJ Mag and the NME.

In 1999, he formed a bespoke clubbing travel company, becoming the first person to deliver international club cruises from the UK. His knowledge of the scene led to him penning Ibiza guides for everyone from The Sun to Time Out and presenting features on Radio 1 and MTV.

Since 2005, Kirk has helped to develop the world’s premier alpine music festival, Snowbombing in Austria, for which he continues to provide creative consultancy and media hosting.
