We were lucky to purchase this prior to going on the shelves from our local DJ shop DJ Culture.

Editorial Review

Intellect: Techno House Progressive is an entertaining and educational look at the hard-working DJ?s and producers who have brought electronic dance music into the forefront of nightlife around the world. This 2 DVD disc set features over 5 1/2 hours of music and knowledge.

Disc One includes a 30-minute inspirational documentary about the ?art of the DJ? and ?what it takes to make it? featuring interviews with over 40 of the world?s greatest DJ talent including Paul Van Dyk, Deep Dish, Timo Maas, Orbital, Steve Lawler, Derrick May, Sandra Collins, Hybrid, Doc Martin, Ming & FS, and many, many more! This disc also allows the viewer to pick and choose from 34 of the full individual artist interviews to view and experience.

Disc Two features the very first tutorial to ever focus on techno, house, and progressive DJ?s. Nigel Richards of 611 Records takes the viewer step-by-step through every level of DJ?ing ? from the most basic equipment setup all the way to advanced mixing on three turntables. Also included are 8 bonus topics focusing on specific aspects of DJ?ing and producing dance music featuring tips of the trade by artists featured on Intellect.

My Honest Opinion

This is the best damn DJ documentary DVD I have ever seen! Having seen this, made me want to quit my job and give DJ'ing my all. This is incredibly inspirational! Even if you aren't a DJ at all, you will want to go buy some tables and start practicing. All the interviews given by the DJs are very informative as they give very excellent advice for such a competitive industry. They are very open about the crappy things about the music industry. The common theme of advice was basically BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BE UNIQUE, DO YOUR OWN THING!

The DJ Knowledge Disc (2nd disc) contains a very informative how-to video by Nigel Richards. He explains what equipment to buy, how to set it up, how to operate a basic mixer, how to beat match, how to mix, etc.

I recommend this DVD to everyone!
