Synopsis
"Better Living Through Circuitry" rocked the house... audience members gushed that "Circuitry" was the best documentary they had ever seen" -IndieWIRE
"hip, hypnotic...engaging pic. "Better Living Through Circuitry" demystifies raves and sets the bar for others to explore this culture and music." -Charles Lyons, Variety
“Better Living Through Circuitry” is a documentary look at the electronic dance community and the culture it has produced. A cross-section of the techno subculture is represented as ravers, DJs and musicians speak for themselves about their music and ideals. Insightful and entertaining, the film presents such dynamic aspects of rave culture as empowerment through technology, the DIY (do-it-yourself) ethic, and the flowering of a new spirituality embracing transcendence through sound and rhythm.
In-depth interviews document such diverse personalities as NY deconstructionist philosopher-cum-electronic mixmaster DJ Spooky, hedonistic streetsmart “Superstar” DJ Keoki, the Vegas-reared Big Beat sonic wizards The Crystal Method, Bristol, England’s prophet of drum-and-bass Roni Size, and the ethereal desert tribalism of the Electric Skychurch. “Better Living Through Circuitry” equally emphasizes graphic designers, promoters, fans and other essential components of the scene, such as Mike Szabo whose NASA flyers are part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum and the Pure Children collective who work and live communally in a New York City loft space from which they create graphics, promote raves and run their own record label.
