About The Crystal Method
Heralded by the Village Voice as “one of the best live dance acts on Earth,” The Crystal Method — Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland — have been known for almost two decades for their enduring dance floor anthems (“Now Is The Time,” “Keep Hope Alive”), airwave smashes (“Trip Like I Do”) and a willingness to collaborate with an array of talent –- including rock’s elite like Scott Weiland, Matisyahu, New Order’s Peter Hook, Emily Haines of Metric and Filter’s Richard Patrick.
The duo has dominated the remix, film soundtrack, television, gaming and advertising worlds, including helping Victoria’s Secret drop jaws with music for a TV commercial campaign and collaborating with soundtrack heavyweight Danny Elfman for several contributions to Hollywood blockbuster Real Steel.
Their platinum-status debut album Vegas (released in 1997) is one of the biggest-selling electronic albums of all time, landing them in the top five of best-selling electronic acts in America. They scored the film London, as well as the themes for TV shows Bones and Third Watch, and were the first act to work with Nike for their running soundtrack series.
The Crystal Method were also featured in RE:GENERATION, a documentary film that looks at the history, songwriting and studio process of different musical genres through the eyes of five of the most influential electronic producers/DJs in music today including Mark Ronson, DJ Premier, The Crystal Method, Pretty Lights and Skrillex. In the film, The Crystal Method team with Motown legends Martha Reeves of the Vandellas and The Funk Brothers to create the R&B horn sassy and down-bass “I’m Not Leaving.”
For all of the chemistry with other artists, the band’s new self-titled album is a very personal affair. Emerging from Scott Kirkland’s brain surgery last this year, The Crystal Method signals the dawn of a new chapter for the group.
“It’s been two decades since this started, and electronic music has enjoyed a huge resurgence,” says Ken Jordan.
“We wanted to reintroduce ourselves to the world here. The name itself signifies twenty years of doing this. It represents a great deal of hard work, fun, and rewards. It’s simply who we are,” says Scott Kirkland, adding, “actually, we hate coming up with album titles, and it was just easier to call it The Crystal Method. It’s a Walter White-approved name!”
