This film really attracted me when I found out that it was about music and the clubs in Ibiza. It is about one of the biggest DJ's that played in the biggest clubs such as: Cream, Amnesia, Manumission, Space and so on and his name was Frankie Wilde. Everybody loved him he was very well known. Yet he abused alcohol and drugs and slowly after a bit of time he slowly started going deaf until he was completely deaf. He went off the rails and locked himself away for ages in a padded room. He finally faced his drug habits/ fears, met a lovely woman learnt sign language and started feeling the bass in his speakers so he could make more music.
People used to taunt him. It made me realise how much people want to know you when you have everything but as soon as you lose it all the fame etc you become a no-one again and nobody helped him. He did it on his own which I respect him for. He only did one DJ set after everybody knew he was deaf. I think he did it just to prove to the world that if you do have a disability don't ever stop you from doing what you want to do. If you've got the will you'll find a way. Fantastic film played by Paul Kaye.
