Somewhere in the world, at any given moment, thousands of bodies are moving together to a single melodic beat; at the helm, in each case, is a DJ. The most important figure in the dance-music culture, the DJ has developed from "a guy in a booth" to "the Superstar DJ". Even with rock star status, DJs and the music they transform have retained their sub-culture coolness while fueling an international phenomenon. Commentaries from the world's premier DJs are woven together to tell the history of house music from its humble beginnings in a New York nightclub to the current day festivals that draw thousands of participants. These experts muse-with varying levels of intelligence, wit, and style-on everything from the spirituality of the dance-music experience to the fears of internet downloading. Intermingling sleek shots with grainier club footage, LIQUID VINYL accurately captures the pure joy of the music, the spontaneity of the dance-music scene, and the powerful effect it has on its millions of devotees. - J.B.H.
