Thanks to my editor Richard Milner and to all at Picador, and to my agent Tony Peake.
The updated portions of
Energy Flash
2008 drawn on articles written between 1998 and the present. There’s too many magazines and editors to mention, but in particular I would like to thank Heiko Hoffman at
Groove
, the
Wire
collective (Tony Herrington, Chris Bohn, Rob Young, Anne Hilde Neset), Chuck Eddy at
Village Voice
, and a series of music editors at
Spin
(Will Hermes, Sia Michel, Charles Arron). ‘Trance Mission’ is partly based on a feature that appeared in
Spin
magazine, June 2000 and ‘Two Steps Beyond’ remixes material from features in
Spin
(November 2000) and
Vibe
(April 2001).

I’d also like to thank the inventors of Blogger for enabling me to waste thousands and thousands of hours of my life, in the process generating vast quantities of wordage and thoughtage on grime, micro-house, dubstep, and other facets of post-1998 dance culture, which have naturally fed into this updated
Energy Flash
. Seriously, though, Blogger – it’s a wonderful thing, and it was both splendid and necessary to have an outlet while occupied with
Rip It Up and Start Again

An inventory of all the people I’ve had fruitful and fun conversations about dance music this past decade – in person and/or via email and/or through interblog debate – would make for a document running to several pages. But I must mention Paul Kennedy, Matthew ‘Woebot’ Ingram, Bat (a.k.a. Anindya Bhattacharyya), Bethan Cole, Luke ‘Heronbone’ Davis, Geeta Dayal, Michaelangelo Matos, Andy Battaglia, Tim Finney, Philip Sherburne, Simon ‘Silverdollar’ Hampson, Martin Clark, Mark ‘K-Punk’ Fisher, Tony Marcus, Nick ‘Gutterbreakz’ Edwards, Kode 9, Tobias Rapp, DJ Ripley and Kid Kameleon (big up ya chests for helping with the DJ chapter), Jess Harvell, Ronan Fitzgerald, DJ Clever, Derek Walmsley, Brendan M. Gillen. Many of these folk I’ve shared dance floors with. Thanks to all who turned me onto stuff through tips or acts of musical generosity. Extra-large big up to those who sent me pirate tapes from Blighty,
bless you all
, especially Bethan C. Burhan Tufail (RIP, miss you), Simon Silverdollar, Luke Heronbone . . .
