WELCOME TO THE CLUB (PB)

As one of the Haçienda’s pioneering female DJs, Paulette has reached the pinnacle of the music industry, performing for crowds of thousands worldwide. She offers a remarkable perspective from a Black woman’s viewpoint, arguing that despite dance music’s core values of peace, love, unity and respect, it remains a world rife with exclusion, misogyny, racism and classism. Yet it is also a space teeming with powerful women. Part personal memoir, part call to action, this book exposes the exclusivity of the music industry while honouring the often invisible women who keep the rhythm alive.
