As you may recall, last week UPROXX attended the premiere of the RE:GENERATION Music Project documentary in Los Angeles. Raj from the Smoking Section, our correspondent for the premiere, described the film thusly:
The concept of the venture goes something like this: the artists, DJ Premier, Skrillex, Mark Ronson, Pretty Lights and The Crystal Method, come from all walks of music, representing different times and different genres. The five are then assigned a genre other than their own, and they must create a song in that specific style, to the best of their ability. But of course they can throw in their own flavor to help bridge the gap.The process would also be captured on camera and compiled into a documentary, so the world can witness the end result
By all accounts, a grand time was had by all, and an interesting film — the trailer for which can be viewed here — was screened. If you, by chance, had designs on seeing the film yourself, you have two chances to see it theaters. Today, and again next week on the 23rd. To check theater locations and showtimes near you, go here.
And, luckily for you, MOG has teamed up with Hyundai Veloster and the RE:GENERATION Music Project to offer you a chance to win two tickets to see the film on the 23rd. Here’s all you have to do: send an email, the subject line of which should read something like “RE:GENERATION Music Project tickets,” with your contact info in the body to winbig@mog.com. That’s it. Easy peasy, right?
Btw, if you happened to catch Letterman on Tuesday night, you might have caught a performance by Mark Ronson and Erykah Badu to promote the film. As Raj noted in his recap of the premiere, Ronson, “who was assigned to create a Jazz record, did the smart thing and jetted straight for New Orleans to meet up with Erykah Badu and Mos Def to assist him in making a stellar Jazz-fusion track.” The performance is below for your viewing pleasure…
Good luck, and enjoy the film!
