Listen to Mark Ronson and the Crystal Method's 'Re:Generation' Tracks

Mark RonsonBrian Nevins

By now you should have heard the intricate, genre-bending first tracks from the 'Re:Generation' documentary featuring mash-up works from Skrillex and Members of the Doors, Pretty Lights and DJ Premier. Now, you can get an earful of the remaining two 'Re:Generaton' mixes from the likes of Mark Ronson and the Crystal Method, which originally premiered at Rolling Stone and Consequence of Sound.

'A La Modeliste' was produced and written by Ronson, and features legendary Meters drummer Zigaboo Modeliste, the soulful croons of Erykah Badu and the unique hip-hop stylings of Mos Def. "She was cookin that gumbo/We could tell cause we smelled the smoke," Badu sings while Trombone Shorty and members of the Dap Kings get brassy in the pit. Ronson's ability to combine these fine talents at the edges of New Orleans jazz and neo-soul have certainly stewed into a delicious dish.

On the dancier side of 'Re:Generation,' L.A. electronica duo the Crystal Method have teamed up with Motown mama Martha Reeves and Detroit-based session greats the Funk Brothers for a slammin' new R&B banger 'I'm Not Leaving.' Bringing Reeves' talents into the new millennium was easy for the Crystal Method as they wove and morphed her voice through beefy bass lines and an infectious beat.

'Re:Generation' the movie is due out next year. Check out the tracks below and let us know which one is your favorite!

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?
