WRITING
DJ, producer, illustrator, and now add published author to the canon. For those 313 heads who have been waiting for a new book on Detroit Techno, Alan's long-awaited autobiography, "The Last DJ On Earth: My Life and Times in Detroit's Techno Underworld," will soon be released in a special, limited edition.
From his beginnings as a radio personality in the late '80s at the dawn of Detroit Techno, to his eventual rise to global (semi-) fame as an international DJ, producer, label owner (Generator and Pure Sonik) and all-around artist, to his final disillusionment with and ultimate departure from Detroit, Oldham pulls no punches as he tells his story in his own uncompromising words.
The first-ever story from a true, inner-city Detroiter who was there from the beginning, and with a cast of characters that include some of the biggest techno names on the planet, "The Last DJ" is sure to spark discussion all over the world. Can you handle the truth? Over 200 pages, plus photos. More details to be announced
