From Stept Studios, with support from Smirnoff, comes The Sound of Bed-Stuy, a short documentary shedding light on sound system culture in New York City through the lens of Dub-Stuy, a Brooklyn-based music collective.
The documentary features interviews with collective founder Quoc Pham and affiliated artists JonnyGo Figure, Hilla Bundem and Blakkamoore.
The Sound of Bed-Stuy and an extended director's cut will be available via Youtube on Tuesday, January 17th, with a special screening and after party at 8:00pm on Saturday, January 21st, at Tip Top (432 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn). Additional screenings will take place in Austin and Los Angeles throughout February with more dates to be announced.
"The film does a great job conveying the inherent power of sound systems and the community ethos that is fundamental to sound system culture and to a larger extent DIY club culture. We're proud to help continue the legacy and tradition of sound systems in New York City, and I hope that our story inspires other people to do the same in their own communities." Quoc Pham, Founder of Dub-Stuy
