Two cities’ defiant club scenes, through the eyes of Mexico-based DJ Man Power (FACTmagazine)

Geoff Kirkwood never planned to start a new life in Mexico. “I first came here about 3 years ago. I was immediately struck by the frontier-ist vibe to the music scene: the massive levels of enthusiasm from the people involved, and the general warmth of the Mexican people,” the UK-born musician tells FACT. “In the first year alone I must have came back something like six times.”

In Crossing Point, a new FACT documentary, Kirkwood and others try to unravel exactly what it is about this burgeoning club culture that is so magnetic. With a unique sound bridging both North American and South American influence, the film delves into Mexico’s current political climate, and the ways in which Mexican dance culture is rebelling against “police state” power structures there.

Featuring Daniel Malaso, Thomass Jackson and other names from the Mexican scene, and spotlighting two clubs in two cities – MN Roy in Mexico City and TOPAZdeluxe in Monterray, it’s a gripping watch.
