The film features an extensive roster of key players in SA's electronic music renaissance, including producers like Felix Laband, Black Coffee, DJ Spoko, Christian Tiger School, Jumping Back Slash, Okmalumkoolkat, and recent Warp Records signee Nozinja, who features in a clip that premiered this week on NOWNESS.
