Straight from 3GZ Productions studios & Mi Chica Chica Force studios, Iris B. Cegarra's third film! Exploring the prolific scene of Florida on "Bass Frequency" in 2001 & making us famiar with all forms of electro music on the highly acclaimed "Electro Dziska" DVD two years later, "Darkbeat" now follows the steps of the Top current underground producers in a worldwide tour. Fascinating interviews, rare archive clips, astonishing high definition visuals & animations enhanced by a killer soundtrack ranging from elderly to new school, the film invites us to take a sit in to a futuristic spaceship travelling through time & space. Featuring widely known wizards Aux 88, Scape One, Si Begg, Egyptian Lover, Bass Junkie, Octagon Man, Billy Disagreeable, The Advent, Satamile, Dexorcist as well as a plethora of other newcomer activists such as Smb or Rag & Bone, artists, djs, party promoters & label owners retrace the genesis of this essential movement through the prism of classics as "Planet Rock", "Hip Hop Bee Bop", "Clear", "Numbers"... some selected releases that keep on having an immense impact on creativity today! In the coursework of two years, from USA to England passing through Spain, Holland, Spain & Japan, Iris & her long time partner Robert Guertin aka Uprokk (Monotone USA / Satamile) have carried their camera & microphone in to studios, clubs & records shops to bring you a substantial testimony about the current state of electro at the beeginning of this new century.
So this basically guys is a movie about the REAL electro sound, not that crap that they massively feed us now on various so called music tv stations. If you wan't to know how real electro (including dark electro) sounds like just grab this one and you definitely won't be disappointed.
