About This Movie

Sound Business is a fascinating peek into the underground world of British sound systems from the early 80s.

The film captures the energy of the sound clashes, showcasing not just the music but the community and culture behind it. The pacing does a great job of building anticipation, letting you soak in the atmosphere between battles. While the director remains unknown, there’s an authenticity to the interviews and performances that feels genuine, a slice of life that’s often overlooked in the more polished docs.
