- The film documents Bang The Party (BTP), an underground house music dance party which took place in New York City on a weekly basis from 1997 to 2003 as organized by Eric "Eman" Clark and Lorie Caval. A unique group of nightlife characters - DJs, dancers, artists and house music legends - are interviewed while BTP events are documented. A lively house music soundtrack, dance floor footage, interviews, and documentation of some unexpected events bring to life an esoteric underground scene and encapsulates a moment in time. Being that the film takes place in New York, the city also becomes a character in the film, while events such as the September 11th tragedy, and political issues such as then mayor Giuliani's so called "Quality of Life" laws are addressed. Some of the people interviewed the film include: Archie Burnett (dancer, House of Ninja), Tortured Soul (musical group), John "Jellybean" Benitez (DJ, record label owner), Kai Fikentscher (DJ, ethnomusicologist, author), Farzaneh Hemmasi (ethnomusicologist, author), Tom Terrell (DJ, music journalist), Sweet Sable Jefferies (musical artist), Doug Merrifiled (dancer), Jackson Brown (visual artist), Phil Hooton (DJ, producer), Keith Thompson (musical artist), Laze (visual artist), Muema Lombe (culture documentarian).
