"Disc style is an international overview of the best grahics of electronic music and the club culture scene. Record covers, CD booklets, labels and flyers are all included to give an insight into current musical and graphic trends. Disc style contains an up-to-the-minute account of the genesis of electronic club music, as well as a preface by Ian Anderson, founder of the Designers Republic, one of the most influential graphics studios of the '90s." -- Jacket.
In all its forms from hardcore to trance, Techno has moved from its small underground club beginnings to connect with the pulse of today's youth. Moreover techno has moved beyond the music to create its own distinct cultural identity. This book charts the development of the Techno movement and celebrates the graphics and fashion that it has given rise to. Works of Peter Saville, The Designers Republic, KM7 and Jaffa, The Unknown are recorded. Accordingly an overall synthesis is presented of a music form, which like Punk in the 70's and Rock in the 60's, has come to mark the age.
