Overview

Excess All Areas is the outrageous, larger-than-life autobiography of Dave Beer - DJ, punk, promoter, artist, spiritual seeker, and founder of Leeds' legendary Back To Basics, the longest-running weekly club night in the world. Named The King of Clubs by Mixmag and 'a purveyor of good times' (his actual passport job title), Dave helped launch the careers of Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx while remixing for David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Chrissie Hynde and more. Surviving car crashes, 14 days in a coma, the death of his closest friend and full-blown out-of-body experiences, Dave took partying to bacchanalian extremes, making Keith Richards look like Cliff Richard - all while impeccably dressed in Vivienne Westwood. But at its heart, this is more than a tale of sex, drugs and acid house. The Chemical Genera'zen movement wasn't just about bass it was a spiritual awakening. For Dave, music became a divine message, a vibration that transformed his life. This is a memoir of madness and magic, of punk and peace, of thoughts made real. And it proves that even on the road of excess, you can find wisdom - it just takes a little longer.
