Working for such a cool media company such as I do comes with a lot of perks. One is having the opportunity to attend movie premieres! Last night, I went to the Re:Generation Music Project World Premiere at the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. It was super official! There was a big red carpet, flashing lights lights lights everywhere!
Before entering the building, I saw Simon Rex! He is a hottie! The music documentary is about how 5 world renown DJ's who recreate five different styles of music. In association with the Grammy's, DJ Premier, Mark Ronson, Skrillex, Pretty Lights, and The Crystal Method were each given 5 styles of music into which they had to remix and come with a sound all their own. DJ Premier had classical, Mark Ronson had Jazz, Skrillex had Rock, Pretty Lights had country, and The Crystal Method had R&B.
Not really knowing these artists beforehand, I came to respect so many of them as artists who can take a sound and make it their own. All of their creative processes were amazing, and their individual personalities definitely made me like them on a personal level. After the film was a Q&A session with the DJ's with KCRW's Jason Bentley. Hearing his voice and seeing him in person was a surreal experience. I was very star struck with Mark Ronson who was looking pretty dapper, and Pretty Lights (aka Derek) was very tall!
