Great documentary

Good, informative documentary films are rare when it comes to electronic Dance music. "Put the Needle on the Record" truly puts the viewer into the EDM scene with a great shooting location (Winter Music Conference in Miami, FL). Not to mention, a nice variety of interviews from DJs and producers, some mainstream and some very underground. This film also gives a nice history lesson about Dance music (more specifically, House music), and the history of the club scene as well. Backed with an awesome soundtrack, this film is sure to please even the smallest Dance music fan. As a DJ myself, this film was very impressive because of the fact that it showed what the scene is truly about, and not the stereotypical hard-drug use that is always associated with the EDM scene.
