Pet Shop Boys’ single “DJ Culture”, co-produced by British dance music duo Brothers In Rhythm and mixed by Stephen Hague, was released 35 years ago today. Explaining the lyrics, Neil said that “just as in DJ records everything is sampled to sound authentic, so in a lot of aspects of modern life – for instance in politics – it is almost as though attitudes are sampled.” These photos were taken by PSB photographer and friend, Eric Watson, during the “DJ Culture” sleeve session in 1991.
