film review
" As a Chicago native and DJ since 1985, I was fortunate to come up through some of the best times as a DJ and producer. It was in the early 2000’s that I found myself fighting to keep the integrity of the underground scene relevant. Much like the film, rather than conforming to the demands of the emerging commercial scene, I chose to look deeper into myself. "
- Jimmie Gonzalez - Director/Writer
