The Secret DJ è un veterano esperto della musica elettronica, che documenta decenni di esperienze nel genere. Il suo lavoro approfondisce gli vertiginosi alti e i devastanti bassi del DJing e della produzione, dai primi giorni dell'Acid House fino alla fama eventuale e alle successive difficoltà. Attraverso queste narrazioni, persiste un filo conduttore di umorismo arguto, dedizione all'autentica cultura dei club e la convinzione nel potere della musica dance per il cambiamento positivo e l'unità. Ora, come attivista e commentatore schietto, The Secret DJ funge da coscienza, a volte scomoda, di una sottocultura che si è trasformata in un'industria massiccia, che spesso privilegia il profitto sulla passione.
