“This is a thoughtful, authoritative, and widescreen look at the pulsing undercurrent between countercultural production and political economy in the mid-twentieth century. For anyone interested in music as a space of inquiry for progressive politics, or anyone interested in the deep and often-overlooked history of these diverse cultural spaces (dancefloors) and their role in shaping our own cultural moment, LOVE IS THE MESSAGE is essential listening.
Tim Lawrence is a tireless historian of NYC dance culture, and the author of several definitive books on the subject. Jeremy Gilbert is an incisive cultural critic and left-wing thinker familiar to anyone with ears for the British left. But they are both DJs and music fiends, and their conversation (while overtly expert at times) is eminently listenable. Turn on, tune in, get down, as they say.”
