Miqui Puig He says that he generally doesn't like music books "because they have very standard patterns"; in fact, despite his long career as a musician, the memoirs he has just published (I didn't want to be Miqui Puig. A sentimental chronology of a love singer.) aren't exactly a music book either. However, their recommendation is: The secret history of the disc (Caja Negra, 2012). It's an essay by Peter Shapiro on the historical origins of disco music that "at no point draws on the clichés of dance music," but rather takes an "almost sociological" approach. In this sense, Shapiro's analysis focuses on three aspects: the racial, sexual, and class integration that took shape during this musical revolution. "It talks a lot about the importance of Latinos, gays, and Black people in disco music," Puig explains. "The book has a working-class perspective that I really like. In fact, there's a chapter dedicated to northern soul as a working-class musical subculture," he adds.

Miqui Puig (l'Ametlla del Vallès, 1968) was the leader of Los Sencillos, a band that was successful in the 90s, especially with It's beautiful, a song that is still danced to this day. But what happens when this is over, you keep making songs and the bulk of your audience has evaporated? Miqui Puig, DJ and producer of Whip track, a daily program on the radio station iCat, has written a profound book about fame, music, love, and a whole catalog of fears and addictions that have accompanied him. It is titled—I would say misleadingly— I didn't want to be Miqui Puig.
