After the Raves

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.

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.

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!

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've met Tommy Sunshine, picked him up from the airport when he came to Minneapolis to play for Woody McBrides party. I was excited to find out that he was in this electronic music series. In this series, they act like the world of electronic music revolves around this mainstream version of cheesy and poor quality music attended not by people who love the music but by folks concerned with purchasing and consuming, as opposed to the authentic and well established underground rave culture. It would be like offering a Jell-O shot to a wine connoisseur, it's offensive. Tommy was a part of the authentic underground techno scene all through the 90s, he knows better than to be a part of this terribly produced series. Tommy knows that you can't talk about electronic music without talking about techno and you can't talk about techno without talking about Detroit, and they don't! There's so much wrong with this series it would take too long to discuss here. Tommy Sunshine should feel embarrassed and humiliated by this series.
