'A dazzling psychedelic memoir' CAUGHT BY THE RIVER
'Makes you feel like getting up and doing something!' WENDY ERSKINE
As a pioneering musician, producer and DJ, Richard Norris has been at the forefront of countless creative revolutions, from punk to acid house, psychedelia to the rise of EDM. In Strange Things Are Happening, this icon of the counterculture pulls back the curtain on decades of restless curiosity and boundary-pushing collaboration. Featuring cameos from Timothy Leary, Sun Ra, Shaun Ryder, Joe Strummer and more, this is at once an unmissable cultural history and a celebration of life lived in the moment, forever in thrall to discovery.

Richard's creativity is at the heart of who he is. I sometimes feel like I only know a fraction of his story, so this book is an insight into a gentle soul who I have had the pleasure of working alongside for almost two decades
