The book was curated by DJ and journalist Niamh O’Connor, who wanted to mark the changing times since the release of Quarantune’s last edition. She said: “I wanted to create a tangible glimpse of [artists] work before I refresh and rename Quarantune later this year.

"The book is not only about showcasing multifaceted talents in music but also celebrating the photographers responsible for documenting these snapshots in time. We’re so thankful to everyone who contributed their art and helped get this project over the line.”

With every purchase of the book, 50% of the profits will go toward The Scoop Foundation - funding their campaign ‘SCOOP Ed’ which helps young refugees from Ireland to Iraq in their education, with a particular focus on teaching music production.

O’Connor said on the book: “This edition shines a light on both emerging and established talents and grassroots communities in dance music. I love discovering more about the people responsible for cultivating dance music and diverse scenes worldwide.”
