DISCOVER MARK RONSON’S ELECTRIFYING MEMOIR ABOUT HIS DJ DAYS IN ‘90s NEW YORK

Mark Ronson was born a night person. With hedonistic creatives for parents, parties became his playground. Yet, having moved to New York City from London at a young age, he always felt like a bit of an outsider, until discovering himself in the pulsing, unifying joy of the city’s parties and hip-hop scene. Each night brought a heady mix of music, ambition, danger, delight, and possibilities. Having well and truly caught the DJing bug, he worked to find his place and make his name in the city that never sleeps.

Night People conjures the undeniable magic of '90s New York. It evokes the rush of a time and place where fashionistas and rappers on the rise danced alongside club kids and 9-to-5'ers – and invites us into the tribe of creatives and partiers who came alive when the sun went down. A heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Night People is the definitive account of a cultural moment and the making of a musical mastermind.

Great stories, really interesting, brilliantly written and read. I am so glad I listened to this.

Brilliant listen

Mark's account of his DJ nightlife in 90's -2000's NYC kept me in thrall and he is easy to listen to in his droll style. However, if you are looking for something about his life as a producer or work with Amy Winehouse there is nothing here.

Good storyteller

This was a deeply emotional listen for me. I also was a DJ in the 90s, spent a lot of time in lower Manhattan, and have at least one family member who worked at one of the venues mentioned in the book.

I don't know if the book would have the same impact on someone who didn't have these connections but it definitely took me back.

I also really appreciate the taste/discretion in making this a memoir about that particular time and not something broader about his music production journey, though I would read a book on that too.

Thanks to Mark Ronson for capturing this time and space so well.
