Listen: Skrillex and The Doors – “Breakin’ A Sweat (It’s Alright)”

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Yup. Here it is. Skrillex and The Doors got together and birthed the song called "Breakin' A Sweat (It's Alright)" and you can check it out down below (via CoS).
The song was made for the forthcoming documentary, RE:GENERATION, which pairs five DJs/producers with five different genres. The other DJs included The… Read More

A first taste of the documentary, RE:GENERATION

Friday, October 21st, 2011
On Thursday night I made my way into the Re:Mix lab in NYC, which was happily sponsored by Hyundai Veloster, to check out a Q&A with the director of the forthcoming documentary, RE:GENERATION, Amir Bar Lev along with one of the stars of the film, DJ Premier.
After showing the trailer of the film, which you can check out down below, the question and answer session began. Sadly, due to the free booze and Hyundais that featured glowing DJ consoles, Xbox 360s and 3D televisions in their trunks, it was hard to hear Bar Lev and Premier over the skinny jean wearing gents and the scantily clad ladies that were indulging in the free spirits… Read More

A first look at RE:GENERATION this week

This week, I'll be heading to the RE:GENERATION press conference, presented by Hyundai Veloster and the Re:Mix lab event in New York City, to… Read More

The Doors collaborate with Skrillex for upcoming documentary

"I like to say this is the first new Doors track of the 21st century." - Ray Manzarek. I beg your pardon?
Listen, I know that artists these days are trying to do whatever it takes to keep their music fresh for younger listeners even if that means completely changing their sound. Also, Ray Manzarek is a bit of a crazy bastard. But the statement made by the former Doors keyboardist to Rolling… Read More

Jim Morrison to receive posthumous pardon

Thursday, December 9th, 2010
During a Doors concert in Miami, Florida in 1969, Jim Morrison was arrested and convicted of indecent exposure. He was fined $500 and sentenced to six months in jail. Now, over 40 years later, the state of Florida will bestow a posthumous pardon on the frontman for the act. Governor Charlie Crist got enough members of the state's Board of Executive Clemency to approve it.
