BILL BREWSTER (Dj History, Popular peoples front, Hotel Motel / London)

Nerd Network is providing you with another top notch DJ legend. This time its Bill Brewster's turn to rock the turntables at Nolla. Whether Bill’s taking the roof off a club with his unique selection of deep and tough house music, enchanting a backroom with a genre-bending set of disco, Balearic, rock and hip hop or playing chillout mus...ic by a pool in Ibiza, Bill Brewster is the man for all occasions.

In a former life, Bill was a punk rocker, a chef and also the co-editor of football magazine When Saturday Comes but has been a record nerd all of his life. He began DJing in the 1980s, but came into his own in the early 1990s, particularly during a two-year stint in New York running DMC’s office, where nights at the Sound Factory and hanging out with Danny Tenaglia gave him the musical grounding you can still hear in his music today. There are few still playing regularly today that have his dedication, eclecticism and encyclopaedic knowledge of music. His parallel life is as a writer and with his long-term partner-in-crime Frank Broughton they have written three books together, including the acclaimed Last Night A DJ Saved My Life and How To DH (Properly). These days, the pair have taken time out from writing books to concentrate on building their labour-of-love website DJhistory.com. They also throw parties of legendary quality in the shape of Low Life, their warehouse rave-up that has now been running an incredible 15 years. He has been working in the industry’s fringes for almost 30 years including the running of various labels from Twisted UK and Forensic in the ’90s to Disco Sucks and, lately, he's been doing the Anorak edits, Hotel Motel and Popular Peoples Front projects. Another interesting project Bill's been involved in lately is the Trax reedited released on DJ History's label
