GOOD electronic music documentaries?
Posted on: 26.04.2011 by Anastacia Gorte
So after just watching "The Electro Wars" which was linked in a thread here earlier, and I thought was pretty terrible overall. I am wondering where all the good documentaries about EDM are at?

I have seen "making contakt" which I thought was very well done, and probably my favorite doc I have seen about dance music. I have also seen "speaking in code" which I thought was good in some parts (artist interviews) and a let down in others (the film maker and wife's personal life).

So let's discuss what are some great films to check out! (note I am mainly a techno/tech house fan, not that it really matters)

gonna throw this one in the mix as well... not edm but its quite educational, covering a wide range of music genres, and explores the fundamental ways in which these different music are similar. theres four parts to it: melody, rhythm, harmony and bass... worth a watch :3

Look up "Maestro".

Primarily about New York's Loft and Paradise Garage, but I found it very informative..especially if you dig Larry Levan.

High Tec Soul is great!

I'm always looking for the tresor Berlin dvd, but cant find it anywhere, if anyone has any info on it it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

While this isn't about electronic music, it does represent the birth of the off-beat hi-hat disco rhythm so is directly related to house, techno etc:

Synth Britannia on the BBC is also worth a watch.

And Pump Up The Volume (UK Channel 4, I believe) isn't a bad guide to the birth of electronic dance music.

"Feiern - Don't forget to go home" is an incredible German documentary about the Berlin Techno scene, probably the best I've seen so far. But I don't know if there is an international version.

And "High Tech Soul" is a good one about the creation of Detroit Techno.
