After the Raves

The EDM is so interesting! The stories of these amazing artists are so inspiring! I I love how differently their stories influenced their styles! Really shows that when you really love something and you put all your effort, blood and passion to your dreams... they become reality.

I love that Tommy Sunshine tries to document EDM as he knows it. I know a lot about drum and bass and he was way off in this documentary, There wasn't a big mention of NYC club kids (yes, there were some bad things that happened) however, they started the rave scene in NYC and zero mention of Frankie Bones that is credited with the acronym PLUR. You can't mention Magic Wednesdays in LA and leave out Keoki (who is from NYC/Hawaii). How can you mention drum and bass and not AK1200 in Miami or Dieselboy? Anyway, I guess this is the history as he knows it, but it would have been nice to be more accurate. I found myself yelling at the TV and had to turn it off.

This show just seems biased to America even tho they aren't the biggest in rave culture anymore. Maybe in the sense that they got rave music and commercialised it so more everyday people listen to it but rave culture isn't about trying to get everyday people to like it. Yes we definitely welcome anyone who wants to become apart of the culture but we like being are own separate thing. There should of definitely been more on the UK as there is one of if not the biggest rave culture, UK definitely dominate rave culture (not saying it's all about UK and no one else) when you go rave festivals around the world more people are from the UK then anyway else. There are so many DJ/Producers from UK playing at these festivals; Outlook festival is good example of this, that's Europe's biggest celebration of sound system culture. Where was Bristol the capital of Drum 'n' Bass, highly popular subgenre of EDM or Nottingham with Bassline. You need to have at least part of an episode on London because so much has come from there it may not all still be in London but that's where a lot of it originated. Where was Belgium they have a huge rave scene as well, they absolutely love the rave culture over there. I've never heard of Tommy sunshine before when I looked him up it just says he is more of a record producer and that he's known for remixing popular rock and alternative songs so just don't feel he is 100% appropriate as the host but unless he actually has had more of an impact or difference in the culture, that I'm not aware of then I do apologize.

Just absolutely gobsmack from the beginning of this documentary. It's claim that LA was the birth of Rave culture in the 90s, right through to worshiping Steve Aioki, amongst other relitivly unknown 'pioneers' in the world of dance music. Left me completely open mouthed at it's dumbness, and self congratulatory trumpet blowing that LA invented 'EDM', absolute tosh!

Guys, this is a very interesting documentary from the backstage and club perspective, this interesting work is really worth watching. The film also shows how artists work, play and create, and even how they look after their own family. Of course, Tommie could visit other cities, delve deeper, but it's just one season! Too bad only one. While watching the film we also can see what festivals are and how people have fun at them nowadays. For me, it is also a mine of knowledge about the creators, djs that I have not known yet and who I can discover. It was a very interesting journey through clubs, places and interesting people. Congratulations to the originators!
