808 The Movie

808TheMovie

This month sees the long awaited release of the much anticipated documentary ‘808 The Movie’.

Alexander Dunn’s documentary on the Roland TR-808 charts the rise and fall of the legendary drum machine whose boom-bastic low end helped give birth to hip-hop and modern EDM. Everyone from Phil Collins to Li’l Jon weighs in on the significance of this clunky “Rhythm Composer” black box, with plenty of party people attesting to how the presence of its electro-funky beats could get folks up out of their seats and make their bodies sway.
