Book Review
“Planes, Trains & Amphetamines” by Kirk Field [Book Review]
“Planes, Trains & Amphetamines” (Velocity Press), by Kirk Field, is a riotous plunge into the chaotic and hilarious world of club culture tourism.
Buckle up—Planes, Trains & Amphetamines (Velocity Press) (buy it here) is a riotous, full-throttle plunge into the chaotic, hilarious, and strangely heartwarming world of club culture tourism, led by the brilliantly unfiltered voice of Kirk Field. With razor-sharp wit and vivid storytelling, Field takes readers on a jaw-dropping journey across borders, dance floors, and decades of dance music history.
Whether he’s dodging customs officials, surfing volcanic ash clouds, or battling Mother Nature at sea, Field turns every absurd detour into a laugh-out-loud moment. And just when you think it couldn’t get more surreal, he somehow brings in the ghost of Michael Jackson—and makes it work.

What makes this book so magnetic isn’t just the outrageous anecdotes (of which there are many), but Field’s uncanny ability to find human truth in the madness. He’s equal parts raver, ringmaster, and philosopher—capturing the pulse of an entire subculture while holding up a mirror to what it means to chase freedom, connection, and a good bassline.
Planes, Trains & Amphetamines is more than a memoir—it’s a love letter to a world that lives for the night, and a testament to the wild ride of creating something original. This is a MUST read!
