The Electro Wars Have Begun!
Director Stephen Vasquez brings you this blood, sweat and tears documentary, The Electro Wars which analyzes the current Electro scene as seen through the eyes of various key players.
Over the course of the film, Vasquez illustrates the extent of how Electro influence has recently infiltrated a variety of other musical genres from the underground to the mainstream. From Lil Jon, Pitbull, DJ Premier all the way to Major Lazer, Electro has left its stamp across the musical spectrum and each is eager and excited at the possibilities it poses for furthering their own genres of sound.
A perfect example of cross contamination of sounds is Pitbull’s “Hotel Room Service” (video above). Pitbull samples Nightcrawlers classic “Push The Feeling On” (video below), a move that would eventually bring Pitbull and Nightcrawlers to work on new material together.
The Electro Wars is currently screening a rough cut at this year’s Winter Music Conference on March 26 and the film features interviews with A-Trak, Steve Aoki, Major Lazer, Chromeo, Franki Chan, Pitbull, Lil Jon, Spank Rock, The Crookers, Ninjasonik, Matt and Kim, Laidback Luke, DJ Premier, Anthony Volodkin of the Hype Machine and many more…such as myself. Keep watch in the near future for a New York premiere of The Electro Wars.
