NEED THIS my email is yianno@inbox.com sell me a copy the second its done!!! thx

even if it doesnt plzzzz send me a copy

This looks really interesting, i'd definitely like a copy of this when it comes out

screw kanye! you dont need him in the film!! its off the hook anyways!!

Stephen, this is such a genius idea!

I was gripped to my computer screen seeing all the artists I love, talk about the emergence of the electro scene, something that, to me, seems like many artists have turned towards (Kanye, Black Eyed Peas, etc. etc.). This work is something more culturally relevant than anything else I've seen in the recent. If Hip-Hop is the greatest musical movement in the last 30 years, than Electro indeed is its predecessor. And, I especially like what MC Spankrock said about Electro blurring the lines of musical genre, which is very much true.

For what it's worth, I think it'd even be valuable to talk about events like HARD and how it, too, is blurring the lines between raves and the quintessential music festival. I know the people who throw BLOW UP SF too, and if you want to take a club scene approach, that could also add to this already amazing documentary you have going.

I'd love to help out in any way I can.

this looks immense

Looks very cool. I won´t miss it.

keep doing what your doing, this is amazing

i wanne know the track LMFAO is playing there.....
im totally looking forward to this film
even a handcam-style movie would have enough style because its all about the music.....

whats the song atrak plays @ 1:18?

Good work! Check out the Cudi vid I edited to an electro remix.

Nice.
Check out my vid youtube.com/watch?v=pGhPcoHWcmQ

Good stuff man. I dont know if its considered more house, but the One Love cd is also bringing the house/electro scene more mainstream. Guetta does a lot with those guys (Cudi, Akon) like producing music videos and such. Good luck with the movie.

Whats the song at 2:55? Know the song, just cant think of it

Though, I might disagree with a lot of the choice of artists, and certain historical arguments with this video, it really isn't a bad idea.

You could realistically do a whole other documentary on electronic music in the post-indie rock sphere, ie: YACHT, Telepathe, High Places, Lucky Dragons, Dat Politics, etc.

this is amazing looking. forward to the finished product

what is the name of the song @ 00:24

I gotta be honest with you, after seeing you spam on kanye's blog about getting him involved, i thought "This guy is just trying to get a big name in his shitty little youtube video".

Well... i stand corrected.

To say that Kanye wouldnt be the biggest "electro" name in this is an understatement, with all the artists already involved, Kanye would infact be doing himself a disservice.

I for one cant wait til this is finished and ready.
This trailer has just blown me away.

Wow! Really looking forward to the doc. I stumbled on to this through KW's blog. I hope u can get him on board and wish you the best success. If u need any graphic/web work for the project hit us up electricpixel.ca

wow I saw your post on Kanye's blog. He should totally contribute.

Fucking looks sick! I've been to most of the shows. Chromeo's set tomorrow should be great. I'll post this on my blog.

hard!!! good luck with your project.

p.s: fuhgeddabout Kanye

Looking forward to seeing the finished article. Would love to see Diplo thrown in there too.

Did dude from Chromeo really just say that electronic music came from hip-hop??? Really? Where do they get this shit from????

Jonathan - dude from Chromeo was an ill Hip-Hop producer for a Hip-Hop group called Obscure Disorder, not to mention the tracks he produced for Non-Phixion. I would say that constitutes a strong background in Hip-Hop.

You also have to remember that the insert is taken out of context for the trailer.

Strong hip-hop background obviously doesn't constitute strong electronic music background.. Electronic music came from disco and led to things such as Chicago House and Detroit techno.. It did not come from 'Planet Rock'..

If you made the trailer and it is 'taken out of context', you should really consider editing that part because you are really making him look ignorant to people who actually know dance music history.. Funny part is, out of everyone in that video, he is the last one I'd think would say something like that as he, his brother, and QBert are the only ones who have actual talent in this video.. Making loud, obnoxious music that sounds like 3 chainsaws competing to see who is louder is NOT talent..

this looks crazy as fuck!

electro is about to be as big as dubstep if not there already.

This looks insane! It's got all my favorite DJ's in it (and then some)...I NEED to get a copy of this when it is released! If you could add me to the email list, that'd be much appreciated... ryangprevost@gmail.com.

yoo i want a copy as well bro.

Send me your emails so I can place you on the mailing list. When the film gets distribution I will notify all of you.

I am LOVING what I hear from this trailer.
I have gotten into electronic music in general since I listened to BPM and Area on XM Radio. Now that I can't afford it anymore I've turned to blogs and podcasts to get my fix.

I especially love the part where LMFAO describes the track they're listening too and the hand movements he does along with it. The way they look is exactly how I listen to tracks I love!

I feel like a lot of people are going to be able to relate to this film on so many levels. I can't wait to see it and tell my friends so they won't think I'm weird anymore lol.

i want it now! its great!

hey man i need this aswell!!! hit me up a copy when u r done :). toddyt_92@hotmail.com

the thing about electro is that we don't want it to be just another trend. we want it to last. we want people like aoki, mstrkrft, erol alkan, boys noize, justice, and what not, we want all of them to last. we want them to spin the electro scene over and over again. we ain't want this going away. we want electro to be here, ten years, twenty years down the road. electro ain't the newest biggest thing. it's just here. and be damn goddamn glad for that. now keep the bassline trippin' and let's get this documentary out.

peace.

cant wait to see this great job!

heres my info
alfonsomak@gmail.com

this looks absolutely incredible

Seriously looks great. Hope to hear that this gets picked up - can you let us know when it does?

this looks dope!! Have you considered interviewing N.A.S.A.? they are definitely hot in the hip hop/electro scene rite now. Im sure you've heard "gifted" feat kanye santigold and lykke li, "whacha doin?" feat MIA spankrock and santigold, there whole cd "The Spirit of Apollo" is oustanding. Also i just want to drop in 3oh!3 they have crazy electronic beats like in their songs "punk bitch" and "tapp" It would be amazing if you add them and kanye to your movie!

But keep up the good work the trailer looks dope!
heres my email so you can let me know wen its out

Stephen you filming sunday @ aoki ?

What up Stephen.....In case you didn't know im Louie...the Type Specialist. I think this film will be classic!!! Its very exciting to be a part of it.

Hey Louie! Your mouth God's ears! I'm glad to have you on board as well. You're an amazing talent.

i want to know whats the song LA riots is playing at the enddd. it soundss hardddd!!!!!!

Ramiro,
That track is actually (Auto Erotique - Gladiator)

thanks alot grettins from chi town where house exploded and influenced every damn artist out there. hahaha. taken out of context.

Stephen, you may already be planning to, but I would love for you to mention (if possible, lets do this for the kids) the difference between classic electro (Kraftwerk, Mantronix, Cybotron, Arabian Prince, Egyptian Lover, Aux 88, Dynamix II, Maggotron, Newcleus etc etc) and nu-electro (mstrkrft, erol alkan, boys noize, justice, etc etc). I know there are many many kinds of electro but I think enough time has passed that the youth should be informed of the differences. Just so everyone can be a bit clearer on what they are talking about from this point on out... I think all of us have experienced what Q-bert touches on in the trailer. -Some of the terms I use to describe the 80s-90s stuff: "Classic Electro" "Electro Funk" "Electro Bass" or simply "Old School Electro". Some of the terms I use to describe the 00's stuff "Nu-Electro" "French Electro" "Sawtooth Electro" "Indie Electro" or simply "Car Alarm Electro" Yes, I understand you are not making a documentary about the 80s or 90s, but I just think they need to be mentioned at some point for clarity and reference. Another great way to do it is maybe touch on some of the cities that gave birth to the term "electro" (Miami, Detroit, The Bronx, Los Angeles etc etc) and then touch on the cities that have carried the torch and created an entirely new beast (Paris, London, Berlin and pretty much worldwide at this point). Just my 2 cents... Thanks man and I look forward to your film. If anything, these wikipedia links are a great read for anyone interested:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_music

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_%28French_band%29

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erol_Alkan

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_Noize

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiga_%28musician%29

Hey Michna,
Thank you for sharing. To be perfectly honest my original intentions were to solely document the "Nu, French, Sawtooth, Indie, and my favorite "Car Alarm Electro" movements. I screened a Rough Cut to a couple of friends in the scene and one of them was enamored by the film but he made the same suggestion. His name is Demonbabies and he is now creating a "Genesis" sequence that will hopefully inform the current generation about the origins of EDM. I agree, the film needs it, even though it's not centered around the history of EDM, it needs to be included.

oh shoot! i like this =)
i love electro haha
it has defitnly taken over
great vid

very engaging!

THIS SHIT IS NOT ELECTRO....remind me to unfriend the idiot that sent me this garbage link...

Chromeo is a fucktard idiot...electronic music predates hip hop by two decades....goes to show the smarts of the idiots making and listening to this crap...

whats the track that aoki plays at 00:24 ?

maybe try and get a Kid Cudi interview, he's done huge things for electro

Is the soundtrack also available?
