SCRATCH

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”55″][mpc_textblock preset=”default” content_width=”100″ font_color=”#020202″ font_size=”18″]While rappers may be the most visible musical exponents of hip-hop culture, it’s the DJs (or “turntablists,” as some prefer to be called) who generate the funky beats and cut-and-paste musical structures that have made hip-hop the dominant musical phenomena of the past 20 years. Scratch is a documentary that examines the role of the DJ in hip-hop music, from the pioneering work of old school hip-hop artists like Afrika Bambaata and Jazzy Jay to contemporary masters like noted trip-hop musician DJ Shadow and award-winning turntablist group Invisibl Skratch Piklz. The film also explores how DJs turned the turntable into a musical instrument, the increasingly elaborate techniques involved in “scratching” (manipulating vinyl discs, turntables, and tone arms to produce different sonic effects), and how different turntablists dig up the rare and elusive LPs from which they draw the samples that they craft into new songs. Scratch was directed by Doug Pray, who previously examined a different musical phenomenon — the Seattle rock scene that spawned the grunge explosion — in his film Hype!.[/mpc_textblock][vc_empty_space height=”87″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mpc_grid_posts cols=”1″ gap=”10″ taxonomies=”173″ items_number=”1″ thumb_height=”582″ title_font_preset=”mpc_preset_17″ title_font_color=”#ffffff” title_font_size=”16″ title_font_line_height=”1.5″ title_font_transform=”uppercase” title_font_align=”center” hover_title_color=”#b39a68″ meta_layout=”” meta_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ meta_font_color=”#ffffff” meta_font_size=”14″ meta_font_line_height=”1.5″ meta_font_transform=”none” meta_font_align=”center” meta_link_color=”#ffffff” hover_meta_link_color=”#b39a68″ description_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ background_color=”#333333″ border_divider=”true” border_css=”border-top:0px;border-radius:10px;” padding_divider=”true” padding_css=”padding-top:25px;padding-bottom:25px;” overlay_color=”rgba(179,154,104,0.4)” lightbox_disable=”true” lightbox_icon=”mi mi-add” lightbox_icon_color=”#ffffff” lightbox_icon_size=”60″ hover_lightbox_color=”#333333″ readmore_icon=”etl etl-video” readmore_icon_color=”#efcb5f” readmore_icon_size=”50″ mpc_button__disable=”true” mpc_pagination__preset=”mpc_preset_4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”100″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1494201792260{background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”.mpc-header” css=”.vc_custom_1494185480363{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]

STYLE WARS

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”100″][mpc_textblock preset=”default” content_width=”100″ font_color=”#020202″ font_size=”18″]Calisthenic breakdancing and big, bold graffiti art were in top form and popularity in the U.S. in the early and mid-’80s, and this documentary extols the spirit and the talents of a variety of New York youngsters who were expert in either one or both of these challenging pastimes. Public reactions are wildly varied. On the one hand, the youth brave a police crackdown on graffiti and face barbed-wire fences and guard dogs in the railroad yards where they spray paint subway cars with oversized lettering. On the other hand, their art is shown in a municipal gallery and analyzed with the same seriousness as a Rembrandt or a Renoir. Whether viewers judge the graffiti an “eyesore” or a bit of post-modern expressionism, it is true that both the art and the dancing are incisively presented in this hour-long exploration.[/mpc_textblock][vc_empty_space height=”188″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mpc_grid_posts cols=”1″ gap=”10″ taxonomies=”174″ items_number=”1″ thumb_height=”582″ title_font_preset=”mpc_preset_17″ title_font_color=”#ffffff” title_font_size=”16″ title_font_line_height=”1.5″ title_font_transform=”uppercase” title_font_align=”center” hover_title_color=”#b39a68″ meta_layout=”” meta_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ meta_font_color=”#ffffff” meta_font_size=”14″ meta_font_line_height=”1.5″ meta_font_transform=”none” meta_font_align=”center” meta_link_color=”#ffffff” hover_meta_link_color=”#b39a68″ description_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ background_color=”#333333″ border_divider=”true” border_css=”border-top:0px;border-radius:10px;” padding_divider=”true” padding_css=”padding-top:25px;padding-bottom:25px;” overlay_color=”rgba(179,154,104,0.4)” lightbox_disable=”true” lightbox_icon=”mi mi-add” lightbox_icon_color=”#ffffff” lightbox_icon_size=”60″ hover_lightbox_color=”#333333″ readmore_icon=”etl etl-video” readmore_icon_color=”#efcb5f” readmore_icon_size=”50″ mpc_button__disable=”true” mpc_pagination__preset=”mpc_preset_4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”100″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1494201912753{background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”.mpc-header” css=”.vc_custom_1494196607251{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]

PLANET B-BOY

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”100″][mpc_textblock preset=”default” content_width=”100″ font_color=”#020202″ font_size=”18″]Director Benson Lee explores the global resurgence of breakdancing in a documentary that proves the so-called “B-boying” trend didn’t die with the passing of the ’80s. An urban dance style that started on the streets of New York City in the 1970s, B-boying would become an important building block in the formation of hip-hop culture. Though the popularity of such films as Beat Street and Breakin’ would inspire teens all over the world to jump onto the cardboard to “pop and lock,” as with most trends the urban dance craze seemed to fade into oblivion as quickly as it had once proliferated. But some fads have an uncanny way of resurfacing just when they seem to have disappeared forever, and as limber youths from Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, and the United States all prepare to compete in the Battle of the Year, filmmakers follow the ambitious young dancers as they prepare to take part in one of the fiercest dance competitions on the planet. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi[/mpc_textblock][vc_empty_space height=”160″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mpc_grid_posts cols=”1″ gap=”10″ taxonomies=”171″ items_number=”1″ thumb_height=”582″ title_font_preset=”mpc_preset_17″ title_font_color=”#ffffff” title_font_size=”16″ title_font_line_height=”1.5″ title_font_transform=”uppercase” title_font_align=”center” hover_title_color=”#b39a68″ meta_layout=”” meta_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ meta_font_color=”#ffffff” meta_font_size=”14″ meta_font_line_height=”1.5″ meta_font_transform=”none” meta_font_align=”center” meta_link_color=”#ffffff” hover_meta_link_color=”#b39a68″ description_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ background_color=”#333333″ border_divider=”true” border_css=”border-top:0px;border-radius:10px;” padding_divider=”true” padding_css=”padding-top:25px;padding-bottom:25px;” overlay_color=”rgba(179,154,104,0.4)” lightbox_disable=”true” lightbox_icon=”mi mi-add” lightbox_icon_color=”#ffffff” lightbox_icon_size=”60″ hover_lightbox_color=”#333333″ readmore_icon=”etl etl-video” readmore_icon_color=”#efcb5f” readmore_icon_size=”50″ mpc_button__disable=”true” mpc_pagination__preset=”mpc_preset_4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”100″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1494201953874{background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”.mpc-header” css=”.vc_custom_1494198644350{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]

THE FRESHEST KIDS

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”73″][mpc_textblock preset=”default” content_width=”100″ font_color=”#020202″ font_size=”18″]In the early ’70s, the rough-and-tumble South Bronx gave birth to several distinct but related phenomena which would in time be heard around the world. A disc jockey named Kool Herc who spun records at block parties began digging up obscure records with great rhythm breaks, and he began cutting back and forth between two copies of the same record, allowing the breaks to go on as long as he pleased. Other Bronx DJ’s, such as Grandmaster Flash, began combining “cross-mixing” with “scratching,” in which the sound of the record being manually moved back and forth against the stylus was used for sonic and rhythmic effect. The new sounds prompted new styles of dancing, bringing in wild acrobatic moves including back spins and head balancing. And some DJ’s began working with MC’s who would add rhyming raps over the newly extended rhythm breaks. Add in the flashy and distinctive style of Bronx graffiti art and you have the birth of the hip-hop revolution, which over the next 30 years would impact practically every aspect of Western popular culture. The Freshest Kids: The History of the B-Boy is a documentary which looks at the pioneers of Bronx hip-hop, featuring interviews with a number of the major players in the original “B-Boy” movement (including Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, KRS-One, and Fab Five Freddy) as well as current rap and hip-hop artists who acknowledge the importance of these musical pioneers (among them Redman, Mos Def, and Jurassic Five).[/mpc_textblock][vc_empty_space height=”50″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mpc_grid_posts cols=”1″ gap=”10″ taxonomies=”165″ items_number=”1″ thumb_height=”582″ title_font_preset=”mpc_preset_17″ title_font_color=”#ffffff” title_font_size=”16″ title_font_line_height=”1.5″ title_font_transform=”uppercase” title_font_align=”center” hover_title_color=”#b39a68″ meta_layout=”” meta_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ meta_font_color=”#ffffff” meta_font_size=”14″ meta_font_line_height=”1.5″ meta_font_transform=”none” meta_font_align=”center” meta_link_color=”#ffffff” hover_meta_link_color=”#b39a68″ description_font_preset=”mpc_preset_1″ background_color=”#333333″ border_divider=”true” border_css=”border-top:0px;border-radius:10px;” padding_divider=”true” padding_css=”padding-top:25px;padding-bottom:25px;” overlay_color=”rgba(179,154,104,0.4)” lightbox_disable=”true” lightbox_icon=”mi mi-add” lightbox_icon_color=”#ffffff” lightbox_icon_size=”60″ hover_lightbox_color=”#333333″ readmore_icon=”etl etl-video” readmore_icon_color=”#efcb5f” readmore_icon_size=”50″ mpc_button__disable=”true” mpc_pagination__preset=”mpc_preset_4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
