Well worth watching, for those who need to learn how things developed - and for those, like me, who grew up with the pirates and are still hungry for new music!

Lots of nostalgic material and so on, This is something for the history lessons! But... Hmmm... You guys mixed up left and right channel, now how is that possible? =) No need to answer, just try switch cables for the next upcoming productions. I'm looking forward to see more historical moments, such as the story of DMC and the remixers. Maybe you've done it already, haven't yet checked deep in your channel. Keep it coming!

As someone who’s mystified why the bloke who puts the needle on the record and waffles between them is held in such regard can I just say…I’m still mystified.

Hmmm... Maybe it's just that we're all getting older, especially me, but this sounds to me like a couple of old guys getting all self-congratulatory and knocking the music that my dad liked. You keep saying wall to wall records was what people wanted, but it wasn't, it was what the new generation wanted. My dad wanted symphony orchestras and big bands. He's long gone now, but even in his lifetime it was obvious that the number of outlets for 'his' music were dying, and right now 'my' music is suffering the same fate. I hate the idea that in a decade or two some other smartarse is going to be trashing my tastes in a documentary like this.

Going around in circles i 5 LONG episodes. Way too much mambo jambo about old big bands and stone age radio performance. Make a documentary about british radio, and called it that. Let's get to the point, for God sakes. How club DJing in the late 80 started to develop it self into the rockstar status it is today, different styles of DJing, more essential interviews with people like Sven Väth, Carl Cox, Tong etc. who all was a part of the big change up doing the 90's And what about when cheesy disco went to banging house in the early 80's by legendary DJs like Larry Levan from Paradis Garage, New York, and how europe and the UK overtook the hole club scene? What about all the facts about Ibiza, Miami etc.? Former trombone players and jitterbug dancers are really not that interesting in the context of DJ culture, sorry to say.

It's a series Pettington. We decided not to do Facebook 6 minute sound bites but rather give people something in depth that will stand the test of time and provide future generations with DJ history. Anyone else doing that? This episode establishes what caused pirate radio in the UK (the MU) so that people don't just think a bunch of ships with transmitters happened to arrive around the UK. It's about how UK dancehalls and the BBC weren't allowed to play records and who put up the fight. Do you never read www.dmcworld.net our weekly magazine? THAT'S about today. Lastly, if this was too much mumbo jumbo about big bands, how do you think the kids who had to live with it went on? Count your blessings Pettington.
