Put the Needle on the Record is a musical documentary film by filmmaker Jason Rem, a music aficionado who travels to the annual Winter Music Conference in Miami, an international gathering of over 20,000 electronic music artists and DJs. Rem and the musicians he interviews explain the evolution of this new musical genre, from its synthesizer beginnings in the 1960s, to its current popularity at sold-out music halls and venues worldwide. For one week, the conference transforms the city of Miami into a hub for a huge variety of electronic music genres and subgenres, and in his film Jason Rem captures the excitement and adventure of the scene. In addition to interviews and a history of the art form, this documentary features extensive footage of performances by top electronic artists, including The Crystal Method and Paul Oakenfold. Described by one reviewer as "an event to savor in wonderment," this film will certainly please anybody who loves hot beats and state-of-the-art DJ sets.moreless
