‘PUT THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD‘ is an award-winning documentary which explores the evolution of electronic music and the rise of the DJ in pop culture. Filmed in Miami during the hot and sexy Winter Music Conference, a yearly week-long event attended by over 20,000 electronic music professionals and fans, the film takes an inside look at a growing global phenomenon in the world of music. Interviews with top artists, footage from events around the globe and a brilliant soundtrack are combined to create a highly energetic piece of filmmaking. First-time director Jason Rem brings an unexplored genre of music to the masses for a glimpse at a movement that is driven by passion, creativity and business. The film has been called ‘A rock solid documentary’, and ‘An event to savor in wonderment’ and is not to be missed.

I’m thinking Noël, Mateo and other DJ friends might like this one, though I’m betting they’ve already seen it.

Beastie Boys: Shadrach (1989). Still wondering how long it took to hand paint all these frames. The Wikipedia entry is mute on the subject and searching hasn’t yielded anything useful.
