| Abstract/Synopsis: | DJ's reshape today's sounds; house, techno, hip-hop, and rock. They direct our feet on the floor, and influence the way music is represented in our culture. "Don't look at the turntable as just this mechanism that you play records on. Travel to underground parties and world-famous clubs, DJs have altered the course of music and video, moved into new media, and turned our generation on its ear, literally. Meet these creative artists, many of them celebrities in their own right, who line up the most infectious beats, mix and program them, and make us dance talk and think about music and the world in entirely different ways. |
