a po-faced and BORING documentary

Both, the EDM DJs and the punters have always been freaks and nerds (not meant as an insult), just like me. Most successful djs have been gay, eg. Larry Levan, Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Knuckles etc. So to say that gays and gals were under-represented is just not so.True, not too many women, but the ones that were, were either good and or forgettable, just like their male counterparts.But this po-faced and BORING documentary wants us to believe that women in EDM have been under valued. Well i was in the seen during late 80's and through the 90's and i never saw any of this happen. On the contrary, in the smaller clubs women have been favored, for i don't know what reason. Certainly not because they were better djs.Plus when i was spinning records, i can hardly remember any women coming up to the booth to check out how things are done. It was mainly guys.I've wasted to much time on this review already, but this doc rubbed me in all the wrong ways.Thank you.

Shot on the wrong continent

The main flaw of this film is the fact it's made from a North-American perspective.One moment we get to see 1960s images of pioneers of electronic music like Delia Derbyshire, and suddenly we're in post-2010 EDM-festival land. This 88-minute feature is missing two whole decades of dance music, including the women active in Europe at the time.Director Stacey Lee is not knowledgable about all this and it shows.This is a film about gender inequality, without any respect for historic or cultural context. It rambles on about a very real problem, without even remotely exploring how it became a problem in the first place.
