This documentary takes you on a journey to the origins of the dance music scene in South Africa in the early '90s.
The story of South Africa is a story of polarity, opposites, and contradictions. The same can be said about our music. The early ’90s marked a period of rapid change and social upheaval - apartheid was dying but the New South Africa had yet to be born. On both sides of the color line, artists and outsiders began looking for a way to articulate this new identity. Within the township young black kids were finding a way to voice their experience in a way that had never been done before, while white people struggling with their privilege were looking at ways to connect with a world they had been separated from. These two worlds would collide in abandoned buildings in the inner city and mega bashes in the townships. Their combined efforts would produce a sound that would help this country forge its identity and become significant across the world.

What a time to be alive! We had the only honest politician who's ever lived as our president, we'd just dodged a civil war and the music was out of this world! So many beautiful and fond memories. If you weren't there you will never understand....
I was there brother and it was so so special. Wouldn’t change it for anything.
This needs to reach a wider audience. Incredible work Zandi Tisani!
Man if someone could make a playlist of the songs used in this, it would be so good.
This is the second Red Bull Music & Culture documentary I've watched in a just a couple of weeks. So far I've been informed, as well as impressed and entertained. One of the things I've loved about both is how social and political issues are interwoven with the musical stories. In that sense, they have really, truly been about music AND CULTURE!
I’ve noticed that to as well !
And this Folks is the whole reason why a Dance Music scene can be so powerful and incredibly life changing!! It brings us all together no matter your skin colour/religion/gender, We can be all as one with the beat...
Great documentary!!!....
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Nicolas Jaziel instablaster =)
Waiting for Part 2, especially the influence of YFM era. various Clubs as well.
Thank you for sharing this great documentary. Brings back great memories of the times we spent in South Africa back in 1999-2000 Long Live Electronic Music!!!
Great work! I remember listening and selling records to (and buying tapes from) so many of these guys in the 90s in Hillbrow at Look & Listen.
Loved every single second of this! Thank you so much for documenting it so well guys!
What an important film, got goosebumps in some parts - serious memories of growing up in Soweto/Jozi in the 90s!
I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. You get to see the evolution of South African popular culture. What is consistently reverberated not only through this documentary but from other sources as well like the After Robot: Kwaito music in Johannesburg documentary, is the amazing relationship between house music and kwaito, the two are really inseparable as far as popular culture is concerned in this country. Music is truly the answer. As Monique Bingham has said: "You can't go deeper/Than the bottom (of Africa)"
I just came across this comment. Your reference to Deep in the bottom of Africa resonated with me.
I'm involved in a discussion about our music and the effect it has in people.
I'm a big Les Twins fan as I live their Hip Hop New Style dancing.
So I was so excited to see that during one of the rounds of the World I'd Dance competition they chose to dance to this song and they ended up winning the $1 mill.
We are speaking about one of the twins, Laurents love of experimenting with dance styles and fusing it into hip-hop and his love for house dancing and music.
And I know Black Coffee is always touring globally so the channel LES TWINS TV uploaded a clip of Laurent just going crazy during a Black Coffee appearance at a club in Paris this week..
Truly that comes from Deep in the bottom
Fascinating - thanks Ivan for sharing this, really glad I watched this. Brings such a different layer of understanding to our club/music scene here in SA
Amazing documentary! Such a meaningful history and incredible storytelling! Very powerful
Damn 😥🔥I literally cried watching this, we've come so far indeed, shout out to Vinny, Tim, Christos, Oskido for laying the foundation of House Music.
Laying the foundation for house? YEah, maybe in South Africa... House started in America.
This Documentary Brings back good memories that warms me up from the inside....Thanks for bringing back those special moments that tells our story....
Great doci, so good to get a history lesson on your amazing electronic music culture
An amazing documentary. Perfectly told and nostalgic through and throuh
Thanks to the brilliance of Zandi Tisani.. very good work.. brings good memories.. good job!!
Very informative work please bring more
this is quite an informative documentary, thank you for sharing these stories, inspired. #RespectTheProcess
This is on point, I’d really like you to document part two.... where you could cover the inception of YFM and various clubs that were established during its time
In townships street bashes, kitchen parties and freshers ball played a major roles in the kwaito and house music growth.
Great Job, nice one for featuring ✊ ✌
Amazing. Thank you for this.
Thank you for paving the way.
good documentary guys!
I know there's a scene in south africa, but this documentary is so full of non- descript perspectives', and somewhat randomly placed non- timelines, a disjointed non- narrative, that dont interface with the concept of a ' movement' at all. This really only captures' little of the excitement it must have been... if you can peice together the elements.... but despite all that is lacking, we need to truly see what is the organic nature of true house music: it has a life of its own, a true artform and musical expression! .... and remember, house music came from, out of the great era of the real underground and above ground awesomeness of DISCO music, despite the rampant commercialism at the end of that era... gay clubs just continued and redefined the vibe, the presentation of the vibe. What was possible due to the organic nature of true 4 - (by 4) , to- the - floor house being embraced by south african music aficionado's, is not expressed very well by this documentary. It is sensed in the backdrop, but not developed. Though this is a rare look at the power of true house music in a non western country, and flies in the face of today"s pseudo- house music: minimalistic tech house, techno, euro- sleaze, hard house, and what is left of the trance music genre....because true house has been embraced by south africans, even making there own, (I have heard and enjoyed recent s. afr, house) and , unfortunately initially, because of the western collectivism of the record pools and companies, denying access to much of the music, having to change the pitch, bpm, and such in order to utilize the music, the organic, roots power of true house music, will always be that seed that WILL root and grow and bloom!!!
When the story off Dance/House and Dj is told. The true foundation is never mentioned. Which were the Original Djs in Brooklyn, Queens, etc, that started playing "Dance" music in as early as 1968(Pete "dj" Jones), then in the early 70s, it was Flowers, Plummer, Maboya, Infinity sounds, Disco Twons and guys Uptown. Playing Mainly in the parks, in the projects, community centers and so on.
Great doccie! Music will always be the great equaliser, peacemaker, storyteller, giver of solace, euphoric, healing experience it has always been...and pioneering it has always been from a point of emotion or revolution. Poetry. I love it.
S/O to the legends that really opened the culture respect to these people bro
When I was a kid, I had a huge crush on Lebo Mathosa. While I do like amapiano music, it doesn't have the raw energy and power of old skool kwaito and house music.
Couldn't have said it any better.
The aura that iKwaito has decades later has still been unmatched because the records weren't pumped out "everyday". It took actual musical know-how to craft such tjoons. Best part about it, no one was biting each others style, EVERYONE came to the table with their own sound/message.
Ipiano to be honest didn't have to "fight" for its place where as KWAITO and HOUSE always have/had to prove to each other that they could outdo their predecessors and the climate of the situation at the time made those GENRES so well beloved years later.
To be honest, iPiano is a cash-grab movement despite having some form of talent of a genre but to actually compose something that will outlive generations is something that KWAITO and HOUSE have been able to do, EVERYTIME.

Where is dj Fresh?
Thank you so much & big respect to the makers of this awesome documentary. Our stories need to be told (not just the bad that dominates the media).
The music of that time was such a welcome & unifying ingredient to the new SA.
This is such a wonderful trip down memory lane for anyone who grew up in those times & who’re part of that music scene.
Fortunate to have been part of it! 😃
Anxiously hoping for a Part II 🙏😄

31:27 , myself and my mate Patrick at the Beyond Techno Rave at the Jhb Fort in 95, the first rave I ever went to, the first of many!
Interesting documentary - I was a DJ, club owner and promoter in the early 90’s and 00’s and went on to become a civil activist and now a politician. What a journey.
Anyone who thinks Club Culture started in the 90's is smoking their socks.
Great - haven't watched it all yet - but I was there! 4th World in the early 90's. BEST CLUB AND TIMES EVER!!!! Static P / G-Force slamming the floor!
Rocky Street, Jeppe Street, The Guild of Illusion... sweet memories...
keep teaching
Incredible
Brilliant

The Cape Town story is missing!
The Cape Town story is so rich that it needs its own documentary.

loading..
Kalawa is our Dr Dre's with Bo spikiri as our snoop dogs
Merle Jacobs aka- the techno Tannie
i was hoping to hear from the likes of Glen Lewis, Iggy Smalls... how and did they came into the house culture💭🙉
personally i think there is still more yet to be told
Iggy Smalls is deceased, more than ten years ago.
Later joiners, but to be fair on Graeme (Gforce) is represented here. It was 88/89 when it started in SA, and a lot of the early pioneers are not even mentioned ...
70s disco new york where it started
Our religion
Club Culture existed in the early 70s in Johannesburg, so to say "how it started in the 90's...". What are you, new?
LOL.
Techno was also from the USA an was also made by black people, Juan Atkins is a black guy from Detroit who created techno. The best techno dj ever is Jeff Mills whose a black guy. What a misleading documentary.
4th World walked so TOYTOY could run
Hope for Palestine
what a time it was
