Comments

The participation of famous DJs like Pete Tong (DJ on Radio operator BBC 1), Paul Van Dyk, or DJ Tiesto brings an almost comic realism to the film (which can be interpreted like a satire on the world of the clubbing).

The film denounces the drug and the abusive marketing which polluted the world of the Clubbing and of the djing .
