Rusty Egan, co-founder of Visage and resident DJ at Londons iconic Blitz Club, helped define the New Romantic music movement. His autobiography captures the birth of British electronic music, 1980s London nightlife, and collaborations with Midge Ure, Steve Strange, and other pioneers.Rusty Egan is one of the most iconic and influential figures in the electronic music industry. His career began in the music industry as a runner at DJM studios, followed by a stint at WEA Records. Rusty collaborated with former Sex Pistols member Glen Matlock, alongside Steve New and Midge Ure, to establish the new wave band Rich Kids. Their debut album, Ghosts of Princes in Towers, released in 1978, achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. During the Rich Kids tours, Rusty met Steve Strange. This encounter led to Rustys concept for a club night at Billys, a Soho venue, catering to fashionable punks and showcasing the music they were passionate about. In 1979, they moved their club night to the Blitz in Covent Garden. As the resident DJ at the Blitz, Rusty played a pivotal role in introducing British, German, and Japanese electronica to the British club scene, essentially curating the soundtrack for the burgeoning New Romantic movement.Rusty Egan was instrumental in the formation of the band Visage with Midge Ure. Steve Strange joined them as the frontman (face and voice), and the lineup was completed by Billy Currie on keyboards, along with John McGeoch (guitar), Dave Formula (keyboards), and Barry Adamson (bass), all from the band MAGAZINE.Beyond his band work Rusty co-founded the incredibly popular Camden Palace nightclub in London with Steve Strange, where he continued to champion and shape the development of electronica in the UK. He also established Metropolis Music, a publishing and production company, allowing him to create music as well as perform it.In more recent news, Rusty released his album Welcome To The Dancefloor in 2017, which featured collaborations with Midge Ure,Tony Hadley, and Peter Hook. Rusty Egan is still regularly DJing and in October 2025 will be releasing his new album Romantic to coincide with this autobiography and the Design Museums Blitz Club Exhibition centred of course, around Rusty and the Blitz Kids.

La historia de una década que prometía el futuroLa imagen del general Augusto Pinochet entregando la banda presidencial a Patricio Aylwin marca el inicio de una década en la que se sucederán grandes transformaciones en Chile. El fin del gobierno militar inaugura un periodo decrecimiento economico y la apertura comercial a un mundo que hasta ese momento parecia haberle dado la espalda anuestro pais, inyectando una dosis de entusiasmo nunca antes visto en una sociedad conservadora y largamentegolpeada por los efectos de la dictadura. En los noventa Chile quiso ser visto a veces como un jaguar, a veces como un tempano de hielo; en ocasiones transmutado en un jugador de futbol humilde que se encumbro en el Real Madrid, y en otras en el caracter de un tenista arrogante que llego a ser el numero uno. Desde el fulgor de las fiestas Spandex al jolgorio de Viva el lunes, pasando por el surgmiento de nuevos medios como la juvenil Zona de contacto y radio Rock and Pop, toda iniciativa parecia tener espacio en un mercado prospero y aparentemente global. Pero este despertar se daba en el contexto de una democracia fragil que avanzaba con pies de plomo entre los golpes a la mesa que seguian dando militares y obispos. Con su mirada aguda y una memoria que no perdona, Oscar Contardo recorre en detalle todos los hitos que marcaron los actualmente cuestionados años noventa en Chile, dando voz a sus protagonistas y entregando una cronica cabal y vivida sobre lo que fuimos y lo que podriamos haber llegado a ser.
