> Author DB Burkeman fell in love with stickers at an early age via skateboarding and punk rock, but he made a name for himself DJing between his two homes in London and New York. He threw some of the first UK rave warehouse parties in New York City and in the early 90s he launched the infamous club night NASA. Although his career has been in music, DJing, and doing A&R, his passion has always been art.
