“XXXXX WRITE WORDS HERE AND STUFF”

First draft? haha. Good list of films, though!

 
lol I saw that too.

I vote that he leaves that line up, its cool

Great list! :)
I would just add “It’s all gone”, simply for the sake of reminding people their hearing is precious and fragile..

For Germans you should add “Berlin calling” a great movie about Paul Kalkbrenner.

Seem them all, excellent list though!

And what about “Modulations”??

The Departed isn’t a DJ movie, but it’s a great movie in general.

Dont’t forget “part of the weekend never dies” form soulwax/2manydj’s

‘A short film about chilling’
UK channel 4 documentary about Ibiza. Seems almost naive now.

I highly recommend the movie ‘Groove’ it’s from 2000. It’s a little cliche at times but it gives you that feeling of longing for the good old days of fun parties and an awesome musical experience.

DJTT thanks for adding these links…. Just the fact I got to watch Slices has blown my mind. Ritchie was born a few years before me but our background is similar. Influenced by our fathers who loved electronic music for Hawtin it was hearing Kraftwerk for me it was hearing Tomita. We both left our home country at an early age, he was 9 and I was 7 which could well have ended up being the same year. My heart jumped as I saw a picture of a young Hawtin sat there with a Korg on his lap. I still have my POLY800. Sadly though over the years I wandered and got lost. Watching this film brought all this to the surface. I feel like 20years has passed that I’ll never get back. What I’m doing today is wonderful I feel like I’m actually doing what I should have done back in the late ’80s early ’90s. I feel sad but I’d rather see the film as a wake-up call. No I’m not 20 anymore but the passion, the energy is more alive now then it has been in the last 10 years. I know the truth is, I just didn’t have the confidence and the people around back then let me wander around aimlessly without helping me focus.

If you’re young and feel that creating music is what you want to do in life, then start doing it now and stay on track. Yeah playing the Xbox is fun or going out with friends is important but if you replace your ambitions and goals with these on a regular basis, then you may well wake up years later thinking, Where the hell am I? What happened? Why am I in a job I hate with a mortgage round my neck surrounded by people I actually have nothing in common with? 

Hi-Tech Soul is a must see documentary for Techno aficionados. Ditto for The Exhibitionist for the cult of Jeff Mills.

As for movies in no particular order : Go, Human Traffic, 24hr Party People, Kevin & Perry goes large & It’s all gone Pete Tong should cover most bases.

And I can’t believe no one has mentioned Scratch as well. Arguably the best of the lot …

You should also check out the “Everything is a remix” series over at http://www.everythingisaremix.info really interesting stuff

Kinda cheesy, but I also admit to liking this one. :-)  Brings back warm fuzzies…

@ lupzdut –  It’s cliched because it nails all the strerotypes of that scene so well. The creators said they wanted to create a document of the house music scene at that time – they succeeded – a classic!
Don’t forget the grandaddy of all party movies – Saturday Night Fever

It’s cliched because it nails all the strerotypes of that scene so well. The creators said they wanted to create a document of the house music scene at that time – they succeeded – a classic!
When is “An Untitled Documentary About House Music” coming out?
http://untitledhousemusicdocumentary.com/

another movie is: “Can U Feel It” about the Ultra Music Festival, but i don`t if its released!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXdq6aq82Ss

What…no Beat Street?

It’s all gone pete tong.

“secondhand sureshots” is a cool short film that takes 4 socal beatmakers(j rocc included), has them pluck 3 or 4 records from a thrift store and make beats with only those records.  it chronicles the entire process from digging to sampling to sequencing.  can’t remember where i got it, it’s online somewhere though.

a dumb movie is “put the needle on the record” early to mid 2000 fist pumpin blowouts.

a good movie is “scratch” the history of the DJ.

 that is prob the dumbest movie I have ever seen…..would not recommend.

 oh yea and dont forget about “Party Monster” more of a movie, but portrays the NY life started by the “clubkids”

Also add liquid vinyl!

RIP: A Remix Manifesto was brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

“If you can’t watch it on Hulu in your country” then ask yourself the question, who the copyright criminals really are…

This unrelated to the article but important for the site. I am sick of that little pop up stopping my flow of reading with a buggy pop-up, dimmed screen and semi-hard to locate close tab. I’ve already signed up, quit hassling me. Its annoying 

A rare insight into the DJTT editorial process. good eyes : D 

Thanks for the feedback – we’ll make it less annoying soon! Especially if you’ve already signed up, it shouldn’t keep pestering you. Rude!

What about “Electro Wars” ? http://oneandonlyproductions.com/the-electro-wars/

We Call it Techno is a great one about the German scene: http://documentaryheaven.com/we-call-it-techno/

There’s also a great “live doc” about Paul Kalkbrenner’s success in Germany after Berlin Calling: http://documentaryheaven.com/paul-kalkbrenner-a-live-documentary-2010/

Great movie indeed, but the article was titled “…movies you havent seen” ;p

What?!! Where is “Scratch the movie”??????

What about kevin and perry go large , ahahaha

Can’t wait for this to come out! 
 http://www.theamericanjungle.net/#!main

YES!!! Got my Saturday night plans!!!

Or Canadians that speak German lol haven’t seen it so THX!!!!

Nice one brotha!!

Wild Style … a MUST!
It’s Hip-hop, but what an amazing record of a very influential time.

honestly this could be some of the most inspiring word’s i have herd in awhile. All i can say is Thank You!

its on vimeo i think

“one more time”  is a great A+++++ documentary about the rise of/history of the UK clubbing scene. since around 88 till now.  I also liked “weekender” which was a film about the acid house scene in manchester in the 90′s

Great little list though and thanks for the links.  

To be honest it’d make a great section for the site if we could have an archive (even if just links) to DJ/music scene materials like film’s, music, Funnies, iconic photo’s, iconic advertisement material etc.  just have a separate area for user uploads so to keep the archive fresh but integral.  OM2C mind 

You forgot Modulations, a brilliant documentary that spans from Kraftwerk and earlier, all the way to 2002.

 how dare you not to add Scratch – The Movie ???????

here it comes:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7085594575841814301

I loved those movies, especially the documentary on Diplo, his story is fascinating. I myself instead of watching documentaries love to watch DJs in action so here are a few you could see:
Inside Ibiza with Roger Sanchez series
In the Booth with Tiesto series
Check the pioneerdjsounds on youtube. Their videos are GREAT.
Especially their pioneer dj shows, great videos, and you get to see the full thing.

I don’t know if this should be call a DJ movie but well I’d love to see it. The new ultra movie. Can U Feel It. seems really cool.

thank you djtt for the the revitalization of my love of electronic music, recently though it was getting all to generic thanks to likes of David Guetta, but with the original 80′s stylings of Jamie Jones my love is back…   

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw-tRL9PUNgpump up the volume the full documentery series 

Awesome! Thanks for this list. 

Modulations is a fantastic movie about electronic music.

Interesting Post, but you forgot Swedish House Mafias own movie. It’s not a documentary, in the movie you follow the guys between between 2007 and 2009.

Modulations???? How old are you people????? Seriously…..

Modulations – best electronic music documentary ever!!!! Look it up people!!!!

has anyone here mentioned ‘Hey DJ!’? The movie’s ‘gimmick’, so to say, was that the entire movie was set to a 90 minute DJ mix. the scenes transitioned with the music, sometimes not to full effect, but it was awesome. it was similar in tone with ‘It’s All Gone Pete Tong’ but this was about a DJ trying to make it in Miami, starting from nothing. It was pretty interesting, and the movie started off with ‘Scissor Sisters – Filthy / Gorgeous (Paper Faces Remix)’.

not only for the germans, i think its in the same catagory as its all gone pete thong. Hope you could find the subtitles for this one

Put The Needle on the Record was a really good doc too.

Really great to see BBC documentary: “Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany”
Documentary which looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nf10k

You’re very welcome.

RIP is pretty good its about girl talk mostly but its still a good look at music and remix theory 

How about Rise the story of rave outlaw Disco Donnie, or Modulations cinema for the ear. or Better living through circuitry.

Before I forget, there’s one more lol …

It’s called “One More :- The Definitive History of UK Clubbing 1988 – 2008″. I’m not sure if it’s the same as “One more time” which was mentioned earlier in 1 of the comments.
