Summary
Like most Mancunians of his age, Sacha Lord's life has been a tale of two cities. Then and now.
Over the past three decades, Sacha has been in the eye of the storm of a musical and cultural revolution, from The Haçienda to The Warehouse Project. He has worked with the music industry’s most iconic acts including the Prodigy, New Order, Snoop Dogg, Fat Boy Slim, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Four Tet, Fred again … and has thrown some of the biggest parties that the UK has ever seen.
But it wasn’t an easy journey getting there.
Tales from the Dancefloor gives readers an all-access pass to the people, music and chaos behind the scenes. From being shot at in a drive-by shooting and dealing with gangs and the criminal underworld, to the excess and demands of some of music’s biggest names, launching the country’s largest urban festival, Parklife, and much more, Sacha reveals all the highs and lows for the very first time.
Tales from the Dancefloor, co-authored with bestselling author Luke Bainbridge, is a love letter to the city and the dance floor. This is an incredible story of resilience, creativity and innovation.

Mad for it.
Great listen narrated by Sacha himself , which always gives the book a better feel. Manchester through the eyes of a club promoter, All you would expect from all the ups and downs of club life , gangs , drugs, , music .... from the great city of Manchester. If lived & clubbed around the times of the HAC through to now this defiantly hits the spot .

A good insight into infamous Manchester institutions
Having lived in Manchester and spent many nights in the venues mentioned this is an insightful first hand account from behind the scenes - of the origins right up to present day (2024) with anecdotes and back stories.
Devoured in one day.
A good contribution to the important documentation of clubbing and music heritage.

No holds barred!
This book is fascinating. Mainly because in the past I have worked with 90% of the people mentioned in the book! I love how Sacha is happy to name and shame anybody and everybody without worrying about the consequences! Very refreshing!

Must listen to for any lover for the dance scene
I’m an avid consumer of all books about rave culture and this book didn’t disappoint. Sacha tells some brilliant stories of his life as an important contributor to the Manchester scene over the past 30 years. Definitely worth a listen and it’s really well performed by Sacha too!

Laugh out loud funny yet also incredibly heartwarming
So many great stories about Manchester nightlife. Laugh out loud at times and really emotional at others. Can’t recommend enough!
