Told through the personal experiences of 40 different DJs, musicians, promoters and ravers, it traces the birth of this new scene and how it quickly became a major influence in the lives of many who discovered it. From DJ Harvey's Tonka UK influence, to Doc Martin dropping SF's first house tracks, this film follows the growth of the scene from 1989 to 1999. Through the pre-rave club parties, to the early renegade break-in warehouse parties, to "massives" to the legendary Sunset parties. This amazing film is a healthy reminder of the impact that musical subculture can have in all of us.

Between the Beats: The music beats never stop in this informative documentary about the intersection of technology, art and psychedelics that shaped San Francisco's legendary rave scene during the early 1990s. The city's new technocrats are bound to admire the ethos of their ancestors, who approached their all-night parties with a DIY spirit and a joy of expressing themselves in a way that fostered a sense of community. ~ SF Chronicle
