(OT) - GOOD DJ movies? Posted on: 23.12.2010 by Janyce Jardon hey guys, so i just watched Kevin and Perry - Go large, I have it on DVD and i believe its a great comedy movie (about DJ's)I Also own "Its All Gone Pete Tong" probably one of my all time favourite movies. Apart from these two, i dont really know of any "good" DJ movies. Ive seen the SHM documentary, it was ok, but nothing special. Ive also heard of a few other movies about DJ's but they all look rubbish or gimmicky. Anyone know of any other descent DJ movies? | |
| Janyce Jardon 24.12.2010 | definately... the soundtrack to that movie was epic aswel. i have the CD somewhere, but its ripped onto my computer, and i still listen to it these days, aswel as the "its all gone pete tong" soundtrack. It takes me back to the days when the majority of dance and house music was the goods... not this semi commercial crap thats coming out by the bucketloads these days. kind of makes me want to put on a Pre-2005 house evening , like mid to late 90's house up until 2005-2006 |
| Nan Pechart 24.12.2010 | Well, of course the realism was a little bit tweaked for dramaturgical happy end reasons. But all in all I stand by my statement. Whoever wrote this movie clearly had small town newcomer DJ experience. |
| Janyce Jardon 24.12.2010 | yeah, still, they seemed to have it pretty easy but... i mean, one minute bedroom DJ's, next minute, there playing in amnesia? Cmon, i mean, id love to kiss a superstar DJ's ass for a few days or weeks if he let me play in amnesia. AND put my track on white label record... Oh how ive allways wanted my own white label record with one of my songs to put up on my wall... Ive been hustling my shit for a while, and although ive played at some pretty big venues, never anything like amnesia. And i didnt get booked in any of the big venues until i started putting on my own club evening s and investing my own money into it. (then i just booked myself obviously :P) They had it pretty easy i reckon Superstar DJ depiction was quite accurate, so was "its all gone pete tong" Ive met a fair few relitavely well known DJ's whove made a name for themselves, and even though they werent superstars like tiesto, most of them were douchebags. Afrojack was the biggest douche ive ever met, with an ego the size of the sun. He loves himself so much he called up after wed booked him and asked to have his photo on the flyer. His name already took up half the flyer, i mean FFS, seriously? o yeah, and he "had" to have his own private VIP booth at the club... |

| Maisie Marras 23.12.2010 | im on part 5 of 'History Of House Music' who has a good old school house music mix that i can get my hands on? |

I've seen so many random things be taken down just because the particular creator hasn't wanted it on youtube, stuff that didn't even make sense to take down sometimes. So I don't personally see an issue with watching anything on youtube, because it's controlled brutally. |

This is getting seriously off-topic, but you're quoting me on stuff I didn't say, and that's really not fair. |
| Jacquiline Dua 23.12.2010 | Ok I apologize... most of you were not even yogurt yet when this came out. So please do not watch it.. and if you do.. then your just as guilty as me... quick quick turn it off... and stay away from youtube. |

| Antonetta Wikel 23.12.2010 | [QUOTE=Djtom420;199406]where u in the movie? No Sir, I work in post production audio for film. We did the audio post for it. |

| Antonetta Wikel 23.12.2010 | Also check out "Go" and 24 hour Party People. The later isn't so much a DJ film but the precursor to the scene and is about The Happy Mondays & the formation of New Order. |

| Janyce Jardon 23.12.2010 | thanks guys, ill check some of those doco's out. especially the house ones. and ill check out scratch and groove aswel. been keen for some descent viewing. |

| Jacquiline Dua 23.12.2010 | this is a great docu.. more about electronic music in general with focus on djs at points http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH-isHOxV8E |
| Belen Wermes 23.12.2010 | movies: Berlin Calling and Human Traffic. documentaries: Part of the Weekend Never Dies, Modulations and Scratch. saw "Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution" last weekend and it was excellent... it's a long one running at just under 3 hours, but is definitely essential viewing if you want to learn about the roots of edm & dj culture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMP-k_j8QWU |
