  The must-read memoir from the visionary figure behind Manchester's legendary music scene, from The Haçienda to The Warehouse Project. 
  Tales From the Dance Floor is an electrifying journey into the heart of Manchester’s music culture with its most influential promoter. 
  Over the past three decades, Sacha Lord has hosted countless iconic parties, booked legendary DJs, and shaped an underground scene that influenced a generation. Working with iconic acts including the Prodigy, New Order, the Chemical Brothers, Snoop Dogg, Fat Boy Slim, Andrew Weatherall, Aphex Twin, Four Tet, the Gallagher brothers and Jamie XX, he has thrown some of the biggest parties that the UK has ever seen. 
  But it wasn’t an easy road to get there. As this no-holds-barred account makes clear, Manchester’s music revolution was fuelled by raw energy, creativity, enterprise and a number of other unidentified substances. From drive-by shootings to gang turf wars and nights out that never ended, Sacha Lord reveals, at 130bpm, the highs – and lows – of life bringing some of the planet’s biggest stars to the world’s greatest city. 
  Featuring makeshift helipads, oysters with Grace Jones and more drugged-up rats than you could shake a big stick at, Tales From the Dance Floor is an absolute banger of a book. 
  Sacha Lord's autobiography, a Sunday Times bestseller, is a non-fiction masterpiece that delves into the social and business aspects of Manchester's music scene. It's a history lesson in music genres and styles that have influenced a generation. 
  For fans of Peter Hook (The Hacienda), and Andy Spinoza (Manchester unspun).

  The Evolution of Japanese Music...

  The ebook "The Evolution of Japanese Music from the Heian Period to the Present Day" covers the rich history and transformation of Japanese music across multiple periods. It explores key eras such as the Heian, Muromachi, Edo, and modern periods, focusing on how historical, political, and cultural shifts shaped musical forms.
  
  During the Heian period (794–1185), Gagaku (court music) and Bugaku (dance) dominated the scene, representing the pinnacle of classical Japanese music tied to the imperial court. Instruments like the biwa and koto became central to these traditions. As Japan entered the Muromachi period (1336–1573), new musical influences from Zen Buddhism emerged, particularly through the use of the shakuhachi, a bamboo flute used by monks for meditation. Popular and folk music such as *dengaku* and *sarugaku* also evolved, becoming the foundation for future theatrical traditions like Noh.
  
  The Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573–1603) saw continued development in Noh theater and the rise of Kabuki, a dynamic theatrical form combining music, dance, and drama. The introduction of Western music through European contact during this time brought new instruments like the guitar and harpsichord to Japan, although traditional instruments such as the shamisen became key to the emerging Bunraku puppet theater.
  
  By the Edo period (1603–1868), Japan's isolationist policies preserved and refined its musical traditions. Kabuki and Bunraku became major cultural forces, heavily integrating music into their performances. The shamisen played a central role in both forms. Gagaku and other courtly traditions persisted but gradually became more ceremonial.
  
  In the modern era, Western influences grew stronger, leading to a blending of traditional and contemporary styles, from classical Japanese music to the introduction of genres like J-pop and Enka, while maintaining the distinctiveness of traditional Japanese sound.
  
  This historical journey shows how Japanese music continuously adapted to external influences while preserving its ancient roots.

  Michelangelo - The Divine Genius

  Eugène Müntz

  Michelangelo, like Leonardo, was a man of many talents; sculptor, architect, painter and poet, he made the apotheosis of muscular movement, which to him was the physical manifestation of passion. He moulded his draughtsmanship, bent it, twisted it, and stretched it to the extreme limits of possibility. There are not any landscapes in Michelangelo's painting. All the emotions, all the passions, all the thoughts of humanity were personified in his eyes in the naked bodies of men and women. He rarely conceived his human forms in attitudes of immobility or repose. Michelangelo became a painter so that he could express in a more malleable material what his titanesque soul felt, what his sculptor's imagination saw, but what sculpture refused him. Thus this admirable sculptor became the creator, at the Vatican, of the most lyrical and epic decoration ever seen: the Sistine Chapel. The profusion of his invention is spread over this vast area of over 900 square metres. There are 343 principal figures of prodigious variety of expression, many of colossal size, and in addition a great number of subsidiary ones introduced for decorative effect. The creator of this vast scheme was only thirty-four when he began his work. Michelangelo compels us to enlarge our conception of what is beautiful. To the Greeks it was physical perfection; but Michelangelo cared little for physical beauty, except in a few instances, such as his painting of Adam on the Sistine ceiling, and his sculptures of the Pietà. Though a master of anatomy and of the laws of composition, he dared to disregard both if it were necessary to express his concept: to exaggerate the muscles of his figures, and even put them in positions the human body could not naturally assume. In his later painting, The Last Judgment on the end wall of the Sistine, he poured out his soul like a torrent. Michelangelo was the first to make the human form express a variety of emotions. In his hands emotion became an instrument upon which he played, extracting themes and harmonies of infinite variety. His figures carry our imagination far beyond the personal meaning of the names attached to them.

  Elton John's Blue Moves

  By 1976, Elton John was the best-selling recording artist and the highest-grossing touring act in the world. With seven #1 albums in a row and a reputation as a riveting piano-pounding performer, the former Reggie Dwight had gone with dazzling speed from the London suburbs to the pinnacles of rock stardom, his songs never leaving the charts, his sold-out shows packed with adoring fans. Then he released Blue Moves, and it all came crashing down.Was the commercially disappointing and poorly reviewed double album to blame? Can one album shoot down a star? No, argues Matthew Restall; Blue Moves is a four-sided masterpiece, as fantastic as Captain Fantastic, as colorful as Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, a showcase for the three elements--piano-playing troubadour, full orchestra, rock band--with which Elton John and his collaborators redirected the evolution of popular music. Instead, both album and career were derailed by a perfect storm of circumstances: Elton’s decisions to stop touring and start his own label; the turbulent shiftings of popular culture in the punk era; the minefield of attitudes toward celebrity and sexuality. The closer we get to Blue Moves, the better we understand the world into which it was born--and vice versa. Might that be true of all albums?

  "Found in You," my third audiobook, is written in the same style as the previous releases, "I'd Like to Introduce You to My Father" and "Breaking Out of Prison." Blending personal reflections from my own faith journey with original music, this book explores the topic of identity from a Christian perspective. I pray that these writings and songs encourage you to consider once again or for the first time the limitless love of God and the healing and hope that can only be found in Him. Many blessings to you! "He [Jesus] came to His own, and those who were His own didn't receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in His name..." (John 1:11-12, World English Bible)
