The film has played in six film festivals over the past few months. The Dubrovnik International Film Festival in Croatia was the world premiere and the documentary recently picked up the award for Best Documentary music in film category from the Wine Country Film Festival in Napa Valley. The film was tabbed “A rock solid documentary”, by MicroCinema Magazine. The review also claimed, “’Put the Needle on the Record’ is a perfect example of documentary filmmaking at its absolute best!”

First time director Jason Rem filmed the events of the annual Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida and used that setting as a backdrop to examine many aspects of electronic dance music, DJ's and club culture. The film includes global and historical perspectives as well as interviews and music from many of the top and rising players in the industry.

A review by the Hawaii International Film Festival claimed “Covering the event would be entertaining in itself, but director Jason Rem infuses his coverage with a hyper-kinetic history of electronic music that gets deeper into your head than a 12 inch pneumatic drill that you beg to keep spinning.” They continued. “Ken Burns' JAZZ this is not. An engaging piece of filmmaking from beginning to end, PUT THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD is more than just a document of a festival; it is an event to savor in wonderment.”
