After the Raves

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!

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 no. Seriously, no.

It is like saying Berlin was the birthplace of Rap. As much as I appreciate disco and the Chicago and Detroit acid music beginnings; it is the UK, Ibiza and Berlin that birthed, nurtured and grew underground rave culture during the 90s. To ignore this is either lazy or willfully arrogant. If you are seriously into music this documentary is obsolete.

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!

Tommie does a great job of walking the line of mainstream and giving you a peak into what's up and coming, and what came from the city he's visiting. All of these negative reviews seem like Whiney people not getting what they were expecting, instead of enjoying the parts that shine, like discovering local talent, giving a glimpse of history. Don't remember reading the info for the title and it saying "an all encompassing and exhaustive view of rave culture and it's history."

If you want to watch a down to earth dude who knows a lot about he culture explore both the mainstream and underground of rave culture, tune in. Don't be a turd and dump all over something cuz it's not what you wanted. Snobs are what male rave culture unbeatable for people looking to understand more.
