Audience Member An awesome documentary on the somewhat mysterious (in North America anyway) world of electronic music. A perfect sister doc to "Skratch". If nothing else, the sheer amount of groovy, sometimes intense dance music would make even the squarest of us shake our butts. Not for everyone, but if you like electronic music, it's a must. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An awesome documentary on the somewhat mysterious (in North America anyway) world of electronic music. A perfect sister doc to "Skratch".

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Fierce cover work, too bad it deceives the actual documentary which at times falls short of expectations. It traces electronic music back to its beginning of its early pioneers, to the various forms its spawned today. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A very nice (but by no means comprehensive) look at electronic music in most of its forms. Electronic music had so much momentum and expanded so quickly by the time this was released however, that it's more than a little dated now. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member required viewing for anyone touched by the electronic music scene. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great documentry about the dance scene featuring DJs and Electonic musicians. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
