4 Music DJ

Producer/Director: Dom Phillips
Channel 4 Music. 2002

7 x 11 mins
4Music: 4DJ
4DJ is a television DJ series with a difference.  There are no screeching presenters, no chart run-downs, no ‘in-lists’.  Instead it’s a series of fast-cut, character-based mini-documentaries on innovative DJs whose lives are built around music.  Each eleven-minute film is shot in a location that says something about the DJ concerned – either their hometown, or a place they connect to.  Each film uses a stylish blend of formats including monochrome and high-contrast super 8 to let each DJ tell their own story. DJs featured so far: Dave Seaman in Melbourne, Timo Maas in New York, James Lavelle in Barcelona, Steve Lawler in Slovenia, Amon Tobin in Montreal, Nick Warren in Iceland and Derrick Carter in Chicago.
