- The aim is to publish this autumn.
A new 700-page book is in the works documenting 30 years of the Polish dance music scene.
Three longtime ravers, Radosław Tereszczuk, Łukasz Krajewski and Artur Wojtczak, are behind the coffee-table volume, titled 30 Years Of Polish Techno Scene. The project, which was crowdfunded via Polish site Wspieram.to, has already surpassed its 30,000 PLN goal.
The trio, who also edited the book, have collated texts from more than 70 artists, festivals, publications and promoters, plus photos from untapped private collections.
"The anthology combines a historical perspective—dates, places, names and biographies—with the individual experience of the authors living in the heart of this pulsating cauldron," reads the accompanying text. "It covers a wide spectrum of genres of less and more danceable electronic music—techno, trance, rave, dubstep, hardtek, house, drum & bass and so on."
