Produktbeschreibung
On September 18, 2016, Keith Robinson, a pioneering figure in the free party scene, tragically lost his life in the River Thames. To say Keith lived an eventful life would be an understatement. Keith Robinson, known affectionately to his friends as 'Keef', was the founder and driving force behind Desert Storm Sound System from its early days, putting on the first free parties in Glasgow and the West of Scotland through to his place at the forefront of the fight against 1994's Criminal Justice Act and the Reclaim the Streets Campaign, and on to his amazing journey to Bosnia in 1995. In 2011 he started writing his autobiography and involvement with the Desert Storm Sound System but never completed it. It's taken this long - and lots of hurdles to overcome - to bring Keith's story to the world. Take No Prisoners: The Desert Storm Sound System Story covers his childhood and first forays into parties (and brushes with the law) in Glasgow, the infamous trips to Bosnia during the Balkans conflict, the anti-Criminal Justice Bill and Reclaim The Streets demos in Trafalgar Square, joining the army and serving in Afghanistan.
Autorenporträt
Keith Robinson was the founding member of Desert Storm, a sound system that hosted free parties throughout the UK and Europe. He was renowned for his military precision in organizing illicit raves, and infused the scene with a socially conscious ethos, striving to better the existing world rather than escaping into an alternative one. His first forays into parties in Glasgow led to tours of the UK and the emerging European teknival movement, political activism for events such as Reclaim The Streets in Trafalgar Square, and a humanitarian aid mission to the people of war-torn Bosnia.
