The Crystal Method

Music RE:GENERATION Music Project (A Sneak Peak)

December 6, 2011 - 5:51 pm

The RE:GENERATION MUSIC PROJECT produced in association with The GRAMMYs® and presented by Hyundai Veloster examines the history of different music through the eyes of five of the most influential electronic producer/DJ’s in music today. For the project, Mark Ronson, DJ Premier, The Crystal Method, Pretty Lights and Skrillex each take a specific musical style and explore it by writing and recording a brand new track with a grouping of influential collaborators in that genre. The entire experience comes to life in the RE:GENERATION feature documentary directed by award-winning documentarian Amir Bar-Lev (“My Kid Could Paint That,” “The Tillman Story”) and due in theaters nationwide this February.

Tomorrow night, Wednesday December 7 at 8pm PT/11 pm ET, you can catch a 10 minute sneak peak of the film in addition to Q & A with DJ premier, Skrillex, The Crystal Method, Erykah Badu, and Director Amir Bar-Lev hosted by Jason Bentley.

Featured Music The Crystal Method: A Cinematic Explosion of Sound and Light

Most people wouldn’t throw a Crystal Method CD into their car stereo and describe the duo as “musical entrepreneurs ahead of their time.” But the oddball business description would be more than fitting. Before electronic music was granted the same avenues of exposure as your run-of-the-mill Top 40 pop hits, Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan of the Crystal Method were exploring alternative routes of rocking the masses to great success. “We can’t help it that we’re sexy!
