The film’s synopsis describes a night at Que Club to have “2000 clubbers raving to techno in the main hall whilst 100 people might be listening to drum ‘n’ bass in a side room, 50 listening to Jungle and others listening to garage, basement or breakbeat.”
Music historian Jez Collis said on the film: "This project will celebrate the pioneers of rave and dance culture in Birmingham and shine a light on a hidden history of Birmingham's music heritage and culture."
