The Man from Mo’ Wax
Matthew Jones / 2016 / UK / 109min / English / Chinese subtitles / Taiwan premier
James Lavelle played his first DJ set at 14, launched pioneering record label Mo’Wax at 18 and released the genre defining UNKLE album Psyence Fiction at 22. His phenomenally rapid rise seemed limitless, but it’s only when you’re going so fast that the wheels fall off. The Man from Mo’Wax tells the remarkable story of one of the most enigmatic yet influential figures in contemporary British culture in his quest to marry electronic music with rock. Unearthed from over 700 hours of footage including exclusive personal archive spanning three decades, the film traces the rise of sampling, superstar producer-DJs, the crash of music sales, and an honest portrait of Lavelle himself, flawed decisions and all. Along the way, there’s an extensive look at Lavelle’s groundbreaking collaboration with DJ Shadow, while commentary comes from a pantheon of collaborators: Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Robbie Williams, Ian Brown, 3D (Massive Attack) and Grandmaster Flash, just to name a few.
“A hyperactive snapshot of a colorful era” — Variety

“A pulsating classic rock ‘n roll story about the rise and fall and rise again of underground DJ and music industry icon James Lavelle” — director Matthew Jones
