DJ culture has come a long way over the last three or four decades. These days, the DJ is the life of the party on dancefloors across the world – but back in the ’60s and ’70s, the humble disc jockey was only just starting to emerge on the mod-influenced nightclub scene in the north-west of England. Northern Soul, the new film by writer/director Elaine Constantine, tells the story of the burgeoning youth culture which would go on to shape songwriting, DJing, design and production for the next generations of young people worldwide. The film stars Elliot James Langridge, Antonia Thomas and Steve Coogan, and is available digitally through iTunes and other major outlets now.
To celebrate the release of Northern Soul – and to help you get your fix of today’s musical culture – we’ve got five pairs of the portable yet great-sounding Audio-Technica ATH-SJ11 headphones to give away.
