Why we will never see Oldschool Renegades documentary

“In 2009 I got the idea to create a documentary about the early days of house and rave. I wanted to describe how electronic music evolved from the house sound of Chicago via the raw techno sound of Detroit to the hardcore techno we were creating in Rotterdam. I decided that the best way to do this was to have the original artists talk about their experiences. I drafted a list of artists that influenced me most as a music producer and asked them to tell their stories,” recalled Maurice Steenbergen. In 1991, he noticed that people in clubs were jumping more than dancing. A friend suggested that this was something he could take advantage of. After months of casual music-making, 19-year-old Maurice sampled a cartoon sound of a bouncing ball and layered a fast beat underneath. It was enough for a timeless hit in 1992; and thus the future director made connections not only with local musicians, but also with musicians abroad.
