About Circle Street Books
Circle Street Books was formed around the idea of expanding Circa1984 Records to incorporate
a wider range of media, books being amongst them. It was during this reform that the Circal
was born, and Circle Street Books became it's second arm.
Publishing books has always been a dream of mine, to be able to see the creations of myself
and friends in print, to hold and feel them. The book that made this dream a reality was
My First DJQuake Anthology, being the first one we had
printed and being the first official release. But, it's roots lay in being a test-run.
Although it turned out really well, and was a much cooler event than I anticipated, it's purpose
was to test the waters of what we could and couldn't do, if we could make this wole books
thing work so that I could try my hand at the idea I'd had in mind for a few months.
The idea eventually became Circus; bring together my
friends in a celebration of words and pictures, to create a collaborative book with no set
theme or structure. Anybody could put forward whatever they wanted. With DJQuake we'd
used a rather expensive, limiting company; we'd learned our lesson (which is partly why
the book is being redone) and changed to a different printing company for the second
book. Not only is it more flexible in terms of what we can make, it also works out a lot
cheaper for the people who want to purchase copies.
Although we only have two books at present, we're hoping to expand this considerably within
the coming years. As such, we are eagerly accepting submissions for solo books and further
Circus-style collaborations. Contact us for more
