Minneapolis Star Tribune

Beyond the history lesson, the film adds a personal element by focusing on jockeys from two generations: British turntable legend Carl Cox and youth Dutch phenom Martin Garrix.

Financial Times

The documentary follows Cox's winding down and Garrix's rise, along with an entertaining, if familiar, history of electronic dance music.

Rated: 4/5

Ed Bark

Uncle Barky

Bouncing between eras and their various beats, while also playing a few heartstrings down the stretch. It's a trip well worth taking, whether you're a devotee of EDM or a neophyte like myself.

Rated: A-

Neaux Reel Idea

It isn't punk or altogether terribly intriguing, but it is an entrance ramp to a world many have never visited.

Rated: 3/5

Behind The Lens

Not only is What We Started a cultural retelling of the last 30 years of EDM, but also its effect on music and culture as a whole.
