Skrillex + Doors Members, DJ Premier + Nas Debut 'Re:Generation' Tracks

EDM fans and curious onlookers have been clamoring for their first listen of songs from the upcoming 'Re:Generation' documentary. And on Thursday morning, they were treated to not one but two tracks in which renowned DJs take on a new style of music.

First up was Skrillex and members of the Doors uniting for what we've been told is an unfinished version of 'Breakin' A Sweat (It's Alright).' The song has some elements of the traditional Doors sound, including Robby Krieger's Spanish-blues guitar runs and Ray Manzarek's haunting keyboard riffs. But the biggest presence was Skrillex's braying synths and glitchy beats, while the biggest absence was, naturally, Jim Morrison.

On the heels of that came DJ Premier's first foray into the classical, with a guest spot by Nas. Backed by the 58-member Berklee Symphony Orchestra, Premier adds some top-notch scratching after Nas just kills his verse. Then, the song takes a huge turn with a harpischord interlude and a full symphony, drum and turntable climax.

'Re:Generation' is due out next year and also features Mark Ronson, Pretty Lights and Crystal Method. Check out both below and let us know who did a better job!

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, age ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via~~--Ａgeｌｅｓｓ'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.

SOUL REBELS BRASS BAND is def THE band to look out for. True original instrumental hip hop at its finest. If you like The Roots, I can say you will freak over the SOUL REBELS BRASS BAND.
