UK's hard working publishing independent company in music books, Velocity Press, have just announced that they aim to publish six books this year, having already lined up the first two. So, their first installment of 2021 is called 'Who Say Reload' and it's specified on the essential history of Jungle and Drum & Bass including exclusive words by Goldie, DJ Hype, Roni Size, Andy C, 4 Hero. Plenty of interviews credited to Paul Terzulli, who's the author of this new book, analysing also the influences, equipment,samples that took this movement to the top with the amazing contribution of legendary Artists and apparently great records that hold still a golden value.
Photography is provided by Eddie Otchere who has an extensive archive of images, having been the photographer at Goldie’s seminal Metalheadz nights. His previously unseen visuals capture the essence of the music in a way that only someone who was fully immersed in the culture at the time could, and are the perfect accompaniment to the story being told.
QUOTES

J Majik
'Nice to see a different take on DnB’s history as Who Say Reload captures the early productions that laid down the music’s foundations.'
LTJ Bukem
'Jungle is the most unique and influential musical movement to come out of England. It’s important that the pioneers get to tell their stories like this. It’s great to see underground legends represented and put on a platform that highlight their contributions to a music genre that has become a worldwide phenomenon.'

The book will be 25cm x 25cm, including 160 pages and won't come out until March 2021 but if you pre-order it now, you’ll receive first, signed by the author and with your name in the credits. The postage & packing is charged separately.
