Synopsis

This energetic, insightful film, which was a big hit at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, traces the birth of “turntablism.” Doug Pray documents the ongoing history of today’s turntablist movement and features many of the DJs who gave birth to the hip-hop movement and continue to reinvent it. This exhilarating film features such charismatic figures as DJ Q-Bert, DJ Shadow and Mix Master Mike in full-blown exhibition of their powers.
