Real Scenes: London | Resident Advisor

[@ingefara4755]

the videography in this documentary is incredibly beautiful

[@jrochanetto]

I love the Real Scenes series. All episodes have discussed the links between music, identity/community and politics, but this one in particular approaches all these things a little more deeply. The timing is also very right. Congratulations to RA and its producers. Regards from Brazil. Keep up the good work!

[@harryfox105]

Fantastic film that hits the nail on the head surrounding current issues. Thank you RA for making something that represents our city so well.

[@FourOnTheFloor]

So much truth at the end of video, much respect RA and something needs to change! But then again with inequality comes diverse and great music because of the passion put into it

[@kuhlydoscope]

I'd love to see a Real Scenes: Toronto. Our club scene has sky rocketed in the last few years, right alongside the independent after party scene. Do seriously consider Toronto for the next film.

[@yashahassan2605]

I'm from London and lived in Toronto for three years. There is no scene in Toronto apart from shit rap and drake. You don't have any super clubs and people in Toronto take them selves way too seriously so knowone even dances in the club. The warehouse parties on keele Street were the only.good thing. But if you go London you will.see we have thousands of them parties. Look on resident advisor of both cities and you.can see for your selves...

[@user-hx1nr9ru1p]

The B-Roll for this documentary is amazing

[@Unfiltered_TV]

What a beautiful piece of art. The cinematography is excellent as well as the narrative. Would've loved to see what the new emerging dance music scene is like nowadays in London but perhaps that's what the next instalment will offer?! Great work Patrick Nation and team! #bravo

[@DannySeventySeven]

I feel proud. And I even more can't wait for Fabric tomorrow night, for the Afro Deep sound....

[@JingleJangle356]

To give a bit of feedback for this documentary, it would have been interesting to see what new types of parties and events that are really burgeoning inside London. While Printworks is great and its important to talk about Fabric, it doesn't feel like such a rich exploration of what else is happening in London. That being said, loved the whole thing, and it was beautifully shot.

[@jamsteracton]

Unknown World, takes place every few months in south bermondsey. Best party in london

[@ollac3758]

Many clubs were closed. Cable, crucifix Lane, puzzle..

[@fractale4322]

Fold and Corsica Studios do great nights

Fold and Corsica Studios do great nights

[@BlueCheese747]

I mean I think this is roughly what you'd expect from RA

[@pointofreference4588]

Great doc, perfectly highlighting the current tone & mood in London, a feeling of being under siege but with real hope and drive to push forward the scene

[@aidanjohnkelly]

Very interesting film, emphasising how London has changed and club culture as a whole has adapted. Capitalism presents an unusual contradiction, in the sense that it fuels club culture yet its excesses can completely constrain and smother it. I've lived in this city for 8 years and the amount of quality shows is perhaps second to none, but I do recognise some of the descriptions below of certain nights. I was never the greatest fan of Fabric, but I did go to the venue the day after the ruling to meet with other people and talk to them about the club, it's absolutely true that the venue meant a lot to people and it's great that it's open again. I believe that London club culture will survive, but the city itself and the country's change of political direction is, in my view, definitely going to change the entire landscape and I cannot see this being entirely positive, much as the film alludes to at the end. While conservatives certainly enjoy club culture too, it's a scene that thrives mostly on a form of liberal multiculturalism that feels somehow under threat in the current environment. While many people see Jeremy Corbyn as the antidote to this situation, I think people need to be clear that he has no intention of reversing Brexit and the direction of travel will remain the same, sadly. But Londoners are resilient and resourceful, this video proves it, we may not have the world's best club scene but the passion and dedication of the people is something to be truly admired and revered, I can see us coming through this turbulence even stronger than before.

[@conorogara5661]

100% the best made one you've done so far RA, props!

[@TheItalianTechno]

I'm moving back home to South East London, this made me excited to come back!

[@thaddymuller4047]

incredible filming and very timely message, thanks RA

[@patricksylvester2793]

Ollie Ashley: "It's an office, but especially after 6 it feels more like a youth center than anything else" quite an ominous statement in light of recent news

[@adamlowe7618]

Great film. Incredibly important. I hope in the very least, that the current political situation gives a new zeal to UK club culture.

[@WarrenBerchie]

So much Love in London. RIP those at Grenfell Tower.

[@petemanning1975]

Ironic that the message of the film is that the the people and the underground need to thrive in the face of capitalism and the example of this given is a radio station owned by a billionaire (Mike Ashley) who pushes zero hours contracts and which is run by his son.

[@SoulfulDotNL]

Maybe capitalism is the best option so far that will actually work

[@chriszanf]

And it closed down last year after allegations of sexual harassment and cultural exploitation! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/apr/19/off-radar-how-the-influential-radio-station-was-silenced-by-scandal

[@gee_emm]

Pete Manning damn!

[@Sebastien9004]

lol, amazing. Thanks, I thought something was up with that tubbles, very shifty

[@jasonlowe4677]

That is true but it's also (sadly) also true that capitalism is what drives that underground scene. Most of the people on the scene in London are working in well-paid jobs, able to afford to go out, buy drinks and have a good night out. In poorer places, people simply can't afford to go out as frequently as in London.

[@Sheaiskl]

The entire video in the perspective of artists, owners, politicians, producers but nowhere near enough focus on the most important person... the clubber. Missing a huge viewpoint of what clubbing is actually like in London.

[@AlexAlex-tj8hy]

what would you say about clubbing in London? positive or negative experience? I've never been in London yet

[@bobbyredding7308]

Couldn't agree more. The clubber is 100% the most important person! With that in mind, have you seen the Reviews from MyClubConnect? kzbin.info/aero/PL2RubYSV9QLUpB1-0ih4sVEjyaw357OWL

[@MarcoSchiavottiello]

also they are all british and this is not representative of the multicultural background of the london collectives, artists, producers organizers...

[@FourOnTheFloor]

Great doc! Thank you for making it.

[@Maker355]

I have to say that woman from the council is so full of hot air!!!!! Why not sack her and use her wages to plié into reopening venues

[@houseofcamdenuk6149]

Really nice guys!! very good watch

[@Gunt78]

Why no mention of Passing Clouds? The loss of Passing Clouds was far more damaging to the scene than the loss of another super club like Fabric.

[@badmanelite]

Outstanding, cheers RA!

[@SamBass]

Great episode! Keep em coming!

Nice and awesome ❤️😎😍🔥🔥🔥

Great video guys, really enjoyed it.

[@peter-tarka]

I'm really glad that i watched this

[@Dunamis_010]

What a great video!

[@gilbertopruingmascarenhas265]

17:46 very effective scratching

[@RandomCrapOfTheLane]

I think it'll be ran through a laptop so I don't think it matters if the needle is on or not haha

[@gilbertopruingmascarenhas265]

if you lift the needle off the timecode record, your software will lock into "normal" play. thus, any manipulations to the timecode have no effect on the track being played. any touching of the timecode vinyl is purely for making a show like some EDM acts do during their sets.

[@TheseOpenRoads]

Im pretty sure Loco Dice isnt fucking around up there. stop trying to act like you know everything

[@JordanMatyka]

yup, he's got them new contactless needles. no wear. it's brilliant!

[@RandomCrapOfTheLane]

ahhh right, maybe it was 'very effective scratching' then haha

[@deepapo]

It's almost impossible to find a normal, small place to listen and dance techno. That huge clubs like ministry of sound, makes you tired and in the end you don't enjoy the music. There only big crowded clubs with full of dunked and drugged people . That's sad

[@CosticaKristianDiVogli]

Top work! Bravo!

[@unknown9274]

RA documentaries are underrated.

[@timjackmantechno]

really nice vid, thnx RA

[@Jerimboplaysgames]

With the current system, legal venues can never achieve the feeling of a squat party.

Great movie! You should do a real scenes Amsterdam

[@yoda101]

Shout out to Bradley Zero and the Aquarian Foundation shirt from China Cloud. Canadian Riviera vibes!

[@hectorplimmer]

shout out to Bruno Munari, the original designer of the artwork on that t-shirt!

[@theonlysamdon]

Big up Rob and Zen records - funny to see that as the first scene in the film.

[@JLektro]

Much love to London btw

[@chriszanf]

Didnt really touch much on how redevelopment has destroyed a lot of buildings that long established clubs were at, a lot of the time with full complicity of councils. Nor anything about the wholesale destruction of the scene in Soho. Would be good to have an update seeing as Radar closed down after allegations of sexual harassment and cultural appropriation and where some of these other clubs are at now.

[@L117music]

Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town? We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown. ghost town, The Specials.

[@ChrisCosmo808]

Look I love you guys and everything you do, but I'm a bit disappointed to see a DJ pretending to scratch at scene 17:48. I'm actually really shocked by this. Just saying....

[@Cslicksmusic91]

I love the bussey building

best part of this was the aquarian foundation/mood hut shirt

[@SoulfulDotNL]

Great documentary, but why is everything so politicized these days in the scene? I cannot remember it like that some years ago. Why the aversion against capitalism, and the "right", even to the point of wanting to not talk to them at all (someone mentioned that in this doc). For me it's always been about the music, and experiencing that together with good and friendly people, despite how they look are what they believe. Diversity and inclusiveness should be the result of people coming together in love of music and each other, not the goal. And this comes back to the London club problem, I think we should keep talking to governments, police, stakeholders, as much as we can. Show them, teach them, what this love is all about. Group together, form new partnerships, educate them, as you have educated yourself. In a positive and constructive manner.

[@paddyscott2328]

Pretending that the music and musicians exist totally divorced from the society that makes them is willful ignorance. Capitalism is just not conducive to fostering creativity and arts communities. Even if you think it's a good thing otherwise (mental, but you do you) to not recognise the extent that it shapes and inhibits what we can do artistically is intellectually dishonest.

[@dysplasiagiraffe4845]

Right wing politics are typically anti-diversity and overtly individualistic - so against unity. Why would any community want to harbour or endorse anyone who promotes ideas against the crux of their unity?

[@bierenbrootspot]

music at 16:28 is? thx and great documentary btw

[@BruchinKr8t]

did anyone get the name of the record label at 29:04 , the guy commented "south african housey stuff"

[@supergangsterish1234]

the whole fabric situation is sadly now commonplace up and down the country nowadays (even though that particular case came to a happy conclusion), in fact it's happening in birmingham with the rainbow warehouse complex right now, exactly the same, and until the police and local governments acknowledge and understand drug culture amongst young people and actually try and treat the source of the issue, the environment for independent clubs in this country will continue to stagnate and push out the small-time promoters across cities nationwide

[@indyo7]
