Book review April 2025

Katie Milestone’s book, Transatlantic Drift:The Ebb and Flow of Dance Music was reviewed in the Financial Times Weekend newspaper in April 2025. Here is the review: 

Tom Horan writes: “Sociologist Katie Milestone and music journalism lecturer Simon A. Morrison divide between them the period from the birth of rock’n’roll in the late 1950s to the modern day. Their scope is ambitious: where people danced, how they danced and the music that made them move. It’s a golden era that takes in the rise of the mod, the birth of Northern Soul, the disco boom and rave culture . . . There is an evanescent quality to the world the book inhabits. Underground scenes form, enter the mainstream, fade away.”
