Netflix hopes to do the dance community justice with 'XOXO' and 'I'll Sleep When I'm Dead'

So why hasn't there been a great American television show or movie set within the scene? EDM – and all the raptures, perils and outsize personalities that come with it – would seem a natural setting for film. Its exaggerated stage productions are science fiction in scope, and its egos are Shakespearean. There have been fun and savvy movies set within the world of club-music culture – "24 Hour Party People," "Go" and, more recently, the crime thriller "Victoria." But the first major attempt to make a large-scale feature film explicitly about today's EDM scene, 2015's "We Are Your Friends" starring Zac Efron as a rising DJ, was an unprecedented brick, one of the worst box office debuts in history for a widely released film.
