RadioDances. 30 years on air

30 years ago (in 1992), a radio sound a like that of the West began in Latvia with founding of “RadioDances” when Uģis Polis together with Jānis Krauklis and other like-minded people launched the first private dance radio station. During the first half of the 90s, “RadioDances” and its successor “Super FM” rapidly Europeanized the cultural sphere in Latvia through radio waves and became the pioneer of the Western music revolution in the independent state of Latvia. The nineties, adolescence, limitless opportunities, hopes, and striving toward democratic Europe encompasses this documentary about the birth of independent radio in Latvia.

Era Of Dance

The film tells a story about the latest musical revolution in recent history – the early days of the rave scene and the golden age of techno culture. International political changes in the mid-80s and early 90s, including the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, in a short period of time allowed this cultural phenomenon to become a mass movement which was almost completely independent from the global corporations and which did not fight with the system but created its own system.
