In an unconventional and upbeat form, “Broken Vibes” takes us off to the heart of the Broken Beat universe, a musical mixture born at the end of the last century brewing and drawing influences from the wide spectrum of Black Music : Jazz, Hip-Hop, Soul, Drum&Bass..
Reaching further the mere documentary on a musical genre, “Broken Vibes” aims at exploring the social, cultural and economical aspects of a movement, once local and now international, that grew amid a collective of talented and dedicated young people stemming from “West London”, a neighbourhood which had previously witnessed the birth of Punk, Acid Jazz, Jungle music…and of the sound systems culture nowadays embodied by the infamous Notting Hill Carnival.
Following the steps of some of its founders, djs, producers, musicians, label managers, one is taken on an “embedded” ride within this underground musical society and its inner workings, where family and brotherhood spirit prevail, joyfully united in a strong belief in independent creative music making, far from any preconceived or easy-to-sell music.
From the Carnival to recording studios and nightclubs, record shops to label, London to Tokyo to Berlin…”Broken Vibes” takes you through the multiple dimensions of this cultural and musical cornucopia that is…Broken Beat.
