Riassunto:

A hard-hitting exposé of the club scene during the celebrated rave era in 1990s Britain.

Clubland UK is a story of violent men and the worlds they inhabit. At the height of the hedonistic 1990s rave era, Steven McLaughlin policed some of Blackpool's most dangerous and chaotic clubs as the virulent dance and drug craze exploded onto the scene. From clubland's front line, he recognised the menace lurking beneath the pilled-up clubbers and smiley-face T-shirts, witnessing door wars, gang grudges and ever-present drug dealers in the dark underbelly of club culture. He saw people revel in it; he saw people profit from it; and he saw people die as a result of it.

Clubland UK is a must-read trip to the dark side of the 'Dance Decade'. It takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride of pills and blood-spilling thrills, where agony and ecstasy co-exist in a blurred neon haze.
