docs we love :: club culture 1988, channel 4

“When you dance and there’s a good message, man, that’s like a very ancient energy because then you participate in what the ritual is.”

This is just one gem of many in this incredible Channel 4 documentary on club culture from back in 1988. There’s interviews with the Jungle Brothers, Afrika Baambataa, EPMD, Biz Marquee, Red Alert – all from the hip hop side, Paul Oakenfold, Norman Jay, Kym Mazelle, Daryl Pandy, Cold Cut on the house side Danny Dee & Adonis on the acid tip. Soul II Soul, Yazz,  Inner City, S-Express & Bomb the Bass make appearances. It’s just great. They show scenes in New York, London & Ibiza – clubs, fashion & plenty of dancing going on. Talk about hearing so many classic tracks in one doc! It brings such a warm, good feeling – hairs standing up and all. Get up and dance! We’re having big fun!  – Moni Pineda
