Perhaps one of the more identifiable trends in modern dance music from the last decade is the rise of electro, and its dubiously termed mutant offshoot ‘blog-house’ characterised by artists and remixers that’ve blown up through the proliferation of their material on music blogs. Despite this particularly loose sub-style, blog-house has nonetheless gown beyond a musical movement and become a social one, to the point that One And Only Productions have turned their cameras towards the scene for a documentary, The Electro Wars.

Seemingly geared at exploring the world behind electro and blog-house, and the artists involved in that scene, The Electro Wars groups together a (predominantly American) host of figures to discuss the course of electro as well as its foundations.

Appearing in the film are such tastemakers as A-Trak and Steve Aoki, who along with the likes of The Bloody Beetroots, Chromeo, Spank Rock and the insufferable LMFAO all rattle off their thoughts on the scene.

There’s some obvious perils to shooting a documentary like this, as collecting live footage from clubs around the globe on some handheld cameras means heavily distorted (or in the case of Warp even more distorted) audio, and the post-show interviews with exhausted or drunk DJs being kind of nonsensical, like when Chromeo bro Dave1 declares that all electro was born from hip hop producers. Maybe he’s just never heard of Kraftwerk?
