    Storyline

    Edit
    Aims to establish itself as the defining film of the electronic music genre. Through an artfully crafted narrative and stunning visual techniques, the film delves into the highly popular world of electronic dance music, providing backdoor access to a widely misunderstood, self-driven and well-insulated industry on its way to global domination. The narrative leads with the legacy of Carl Cox and following with newcomer, Martin Garrix, as the film explores the parallels between Cox's undeniable influence and hand in the evolution of dance music and Garrix's formation of mainstream genres and global fame.

      Pete Tong: WHAT WE STARTED will instantly capture an audience's attention. This is a film that gives an authentic voice to different generations of this movement in an unprecedented way and leads you on a globe-trotting journey that explores a dynamic and multi-layered industry. As someone who spent my whole career in electronic dance music, I'm very excited to be involved in this ambitious film that goes a long way to set the record straight on how we got here!
