The Mates’ Crates book has been a five-year labour of love which I’m so excited to share with you. Starting as a column on Melodic Distraction, the book brings together the stories behind a hundred of my favourite records. From funk, soul and disco to latin, city pop and more…

You can buy a copy of the book on Bandcamp. All proceeds from the print edition go to Music Venue Trust and Doctors Without Borders. 

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Don’t hesitate to share with friends, family and music lovers in your life.
