A 40-year-old debut album? These disco legends said 'hold my vinyl.'
A comeback story with grit and groove. New York's 1980's Dance pioneers Rockers Revenge reunite decades later to finally record their debut album, transforming nostalgia into a powerful journey of friendship, resilience, and unfinished dreams. From the frontlines of New York’s COVID crisis to the pulse of Black Lives Matter, their music channels loss, hope, and defiance. Directed by legendary DJ and music producer Arthur Baker – whose collaborations with New Order, Afrika Bambaataa, Bruce Springsteen and Al Green defined an era – this film spans 30 years yet feels urgently of the moment - a testament to survival, second chances, and the unstoppable spirit of Rockers Revenge.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rockers Revenge's original 1982 hit 'Walking on Sunshine' was actually a cover—Katrina and the Waves' famous version came three years later. The Baker-produced original is funkier and far less caffeinated.
Questlove's appearance isn't just celebrity garnish—he literally learned to DJ from Rockers Revenge records, making his testimony a full-circle moment of Black dance music genealogy.
