Madonna Classics Spun
by the Legendary DJ Disco Wiz

In conjunction with this year's most talked-about concert, Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" Tour, powerHouse Books launches MADONNA CONFESSIONS on Friday, October 24 from 8-11pm at The powerHouse Arena, 37 Main Street, Brooklyn.
MADONNA CONFESSIONS is the official book of photographs from the Material Girl's sold-out 2006 "Confessions" Tour, taken by manager Guy Oseary over the course of more than 50 performances around the world.

In over 250 never-before-seen images, the book showcases the tour's various provocative themes, from an iconographic equestrian opening to an urban Bedouin segment, and on to glam punk and disco fever. The photographs celebrate what The New York Times calls "the sheer spectacularity of her physical form," along with show-stopping highlights and groundbreaking staging. Oseary traveled with Madonna for the entire tour, enjoying unprecedented access to each performance, and his photographs vividly capture the excitement and sheer energy that came alive onstage every night. The images in the book were personally selected by Madonna and Oseary and are interspersed with her lighthearted quotes from various performances.

Long considered one of the most exciting live performers of our time, Madonna shines in Madonna Confessions, a visual delight that showcases a crowning moment in the multi-Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's astounding career.

Guy Oseary is the CEO of Maverick and Madonna's manager. He has worked closely with Madonna for two decades. As Oseary was the only photographer allowed access to capture every single concert, this book contains the quintessential moments from the "Confessions" Tour.

The intimacy and the sweep of the work put you front row center of an incredible experience," comments Daniel Power, CEO of powerHouse Books.

Luis "DJ Disco Wiz" Cedeño, the first Latino hip hop DJ, is credited for being the first DJ to make a "mixed plate" in 1977 along with Grandmaster Caz. In the years since, Wiz has been an influential force in educating the world about the early years of hip-hop. Wiz was a major contributor in the opening of the Experience Music Project in Seattle in 2000, and was instrumental in the making of Jim Fricke and Charlie Ahearn's Yes Yes Y'all (Da Capo Press, 2002). His first book, It's Just Begun, written with Ivan Sanchez will be released with Miss Rosen Editions/powerHouse Books in June 2009. Wiz was also featured in the Emmy-nominated VH1 Rock Doc NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell, and is the creator and founder of the Hip-Hop Meets Spoken Wordz series.
