What We Started Trailers

Bert Marcus and Cyrus Saidi present an informed and absorbing exploration of the history of EDM, boosted by an energetic soundtrack and anchored by the personal stories of legendary DJ Carl Cox and superstar newcomer Martin Garrix. Insights from numerous other DJs and musical talents like Moby, David Guetta, Paul Oakenfold and Usher help tell the often oppositional tales of old school vs. new school and mainstream vs. underground.

I would recommend this movie to anyone. It is beautifully shot and executed. Immediately draws you in and tells you the story of how EDM music eveolved and where it is going. This movie makes you crave dancing on the beach in Ibiza, because it makes you feel the energy that this world encapsulates. I don't want to ruin anything, but the end gave me chills, because you become deeply invested in a few of the main DJs the film follows. I loved the ride this film took me on.

I attended the premiere of this movie last nigh and it was very cool. As someone who used to go to underground parties in the 90s, the movie really took me back (and seeing some of the guys in person that used to play at the parties that I went to as also awesome). I haven't kept up with dance music as much recently, so I learned a lot and was genuinely entertained throughout. I am really impressed by Martin Garrix. What a talent.

I saw a sneak peak of this film a few weeks ago, and it was great. I think it's a groundbreaking film -- nothing else that's been made about EDM does what this movie does. Goes behind the scenes into the careers of two of the most prolific artists in the field and also dives into the evolution of the genre in an super interesting a beautifully shot and edited way. I hear it's coming out in March 2018 in theaters and highly recommend this film.
