Summary

-- Play At once bighearted and remorseless in its excavation of a lost world, Porcelain Porcelain is a masterpiece in its own right, fit for the short shelf of musicians' memoirs that capture not just a scene but an age, and something timeless about the human condition. Push playThe DJ and musician chronicles his life and career through the New York City club scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, where his white, Christian, vegan, and teetotaling ways were a sharp contrast to the vice-fueled hedonism of the time
