Skrillex and The Doors team up, cover Miles Davis


Skrillex, dubstep’s first genuine superstar and perhaps the most divisive man in dance music right now, has collaborated with the remaining members of The Doors.

No, that’s not a joke. In what’s being billed as the first Doors track of the 21st century, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore have got in the studio with Skrillex to record a “variation” on Miles Davis’s ‘Milestones’, as part of a forthcoming music documentary titled RE:GENERATION, directed by Amir Bar-Lev.

In Manzarek’s words, the collaboration “sounds fucking great, hot as hell. [Skrillex] plays his beat, all he had to do was play the one thing … I listened to it and I said, ‘Holy shit, that’s strong.’” We bet it does.

RE:GENERATION will also feature collaborations between Mark Ronson and Erykah Badu, Nas, DJ Premier and the Berklee Collage of Orchestra [via The Guardian].
