Here’s a little bit of history to kick back and watch over the weekend. Back in 2002 a filmmaker named Valida Carroll released Concentric Beats, a documentary about the American Drum & Bass scene. The film does a very good job of dissecting the history of jungle / D&B both in its native UK and here in the US. eecue, who rescued this documentary from the digital dustbin and posted it on his Vimeo account, had this to say about the movie:

Concentric Beats is a documentary film about the US drum’n'bass experience, concentrating mainly on three cities: Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. Besides featuring club and rave footage, the narrative of the film is carried through by over 70 interviews with some of the main protagonists of the drum’n'bass scene in the US as well as abroad. We listen as DJs, producers, club promoters, record label executives, dub-plate manufacturers, music journalists, and fans all drop knowledge on the history of the US drum’n'bass movement.
