EDM tour doc meets avant-garde dance fever dream — your brain's about to sweat.
100% Silk is an independent record label and taste-maker in the expanding and evolving world of electronic dance music. In June of 2012, four core acts from the label, LA Vampires, Ital, Magic Touch and Maria Minerva, embarked a lengthy group tour through the UK, Europe, and beyond. SILK is an expressionistic documentary that chronicles the performances, cultural environments, and global scenes through which the trip traveled. The motivating philosophies and emotions of the artists involved are visually articulated with seven fully staged dance sequences conceived and choreographed by Mecca Vazie Andrews and the Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company. SILK is a music documentary, live concert experience, essayistic travelogue and above all, dance film.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
100% Silk was part of a 2010s wave of 'hypnagogic pop' labels blurring dance music, DIY aesthetics, and art-world credibility.
Mecca Vazie Andrews' choreography was shot guerrilla-style in actual tour locations, not studios — the dancers performed in real clubs, streets, and venues from the trip.
