ILLEGAL: Rave Flyers of the 90s

ILLEGAL: Rave Flyers of the 90s is a 500-page, encyclopedic collection of rave & party promotional flyers from the birth of EDM in America. DB Burkeman, formerly known as DJ DB, went back to the rave promoters from his 90s gigs to collect material for this book. Showcasing flyers, drawings, & other ephemera alongside firsthand accounts, ILLEGAL documents the evolution of graphic design during the rise of home computers and charts the development of cutting-edge styles, many of which are still in use today. For the book, DB conducted Q&As with seminal DJs & promoters such as Kevin Saunderson, Richie Hawtin, DJ Icey, Frankie Bones, & more to unpack the thrills & challenges of throwing events in the pre-internet age. A must for anyone interested in graphic design, counterculture, or both!
