A new documentary, co-produced by the Grammys and directed by Amir Bar Lev (My Child Could Paint That), sees artists from different generations, and in some cases, different worlds collaborating to cross musical boundaries.
DJ Premier was brought in to produce a classical track with Nas and the Berklee School of Music Orchestra; Pretty Lights did a country song with Leann Rimes and Ralph Stanley; the Crystal Methods spent two days in Detroit recording with Martha Reeves; and Mark Ronson teamed up with Erykah Badu and members of the Dap Kings and Trombone Shorty. Also, Skrillex worked with Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore,
“I like to say this is the first new Doors track of the 21st century,” Manzarek said to Rolling Stone. “I listened to [Skrillex’s beat] and I said, ‘Holy shit, that’s strong,’” Manzarek says. “Basically, it’s a variation on ‘Milestones,’ by Miles Davis, and if I do say so myself, sounds fucking great, hot as hell.”

Gonna try to create some awesome hybrid of Doors and Skrillex,”
