Hyundai USA is in production of a project called Re:Generation, "a documentary that follows five of the world's biggest DJs... as they set out to put a different spin on the history of music." There's no exact description of what the film will entail, other than five major DJs alongside a huge group of music artists, fusing their styles together to create a documentary taglined to "turn the tables on the history of music."
Re:Generation features the young and the old, the past and the present; including music such as jazz and funk, orchestra and R&B, Motown and rap, rock and dubstep, country and electronic, and hip hop with instrumental. The five DJs turning the tables in this film are Pretty Lights, The Crystal Method, Mark Ronson, DJ Premier and the first ever Grammy-nominated electronic artist Skrillex.
This project is amazing. It will show the ways that all music of any kind can be fused together, and that artists from several eras can still create unimaginable art. This is probably one of the coolest ideas for a documentary I've ever seen. It may not be the most educational or historical one - but if you love music, Re:Generation will educate you on the historical aspect of just that. I'm betting this project will be an outstanding blend of full-blown musical talent, and it will be a real eye opener to the pure variety of music at its finest. Kudos to Hyundai USA and the artists involved for coming up with this idea.
Re:Generation will be playing in select theaters on Feb. 16 and Feb. 23, unfortunately it's not scheduled to play in Burlington (yet), but if you go to the website (linked right below) you can request a local showing by clicking the large blue button at the bottom of the home page.
