Hang the DJ

The most common sayings in the underground dance community for the close minded is "It all sounds the same." "They're playing other people's music." And my favorite, "they're not really musicians." This film takes a controversial subject such as electronica and proves that through music, people can make a difference. I feel the best part of the film was when they would interview normal people in the dance community and listen to them describe their favorite dj's with such knowledge and passion. All dj's are different and all dj's are musicians. Thanks you guys for letting the world know that.

I was at the "première" of this film in Montréal and was really deceived by what it turned out to be. As a documentary on turn-tablelists from around the world, it does not exploit the incredible potential of each interview with the masters of this new art-form. What could have been a blockbuster documentary turns out to be very plain, and the freshness of the subject is lost in an institutionalized structure.

this film is excellent. Not only does it give an insight into the superstar lifestyle that comes with being a world-class DJ, it also has a pretty impressive line up in the cast. The late 1990's was a good point in dance music and also, New York House Music is probably the best strain of the genre in my opinion. Some of the music used in the film is pretty good and maybe the kind that in a few years time will be come the 'new' old school.

On a personal level, I found this film was an inspiration to me (as a fan of the artists in this documentary), when deciding whether or not to become a deejay, at the age of 14.

It's about time they made a movie about DJ's. This profession is probably the oldest profession and it has never been glorified. We don't consider what goes into mixing music. This movie showed us the real world and not the fictional world we all see on other movies. It was great, a must see no matter what country you are from. This movie is for everyone from young to old.

What a change. What a refreshing change. Rocking Good Film! A Must see!
