Dave Parle: Dave has been running clubs in Dublin non-stop since founding his first weekly night Antics at Crawdaddy in 2005. Since those beginnings he has worked on many festivals including Electric Picnic, Metropolis, Body & Soul and Forbidden Fruit as well as many venues in Dublin. He founded Hidden Agenda in 2011 as a side project but now works on this full time, programming events in District 8 and many other venues across town.

Romuald Karmakar’s new documentary is an appreciation of the work of five German pioneers of electronic music: Ricardo Villalobos, Roman Flügel, Sonja Moonear, Ata and Move D.

Each DJ is given space to discuss and free associate about their musical processes, delving into the history of electronic music and how it has evolved over the decades from an underground movement to achieving mainstream acceptance.

Karmakar intercuts these fascinating digressions with extended shots of each subject at work in club sequences framed to reveal both the DJs in action and the crowds’ euphoric responses.
