Re:Generation: The mighty Skrillex makes a cameo

If the Grammys showed us anything this year -- aside from the apparently difficult pronunciation of Bon f'ing Iver -- it was that electronic music is here in a big way.

Now, in association with the awards show, documentarian Amir Bar-Lev introduces a one-night engagement of his film Re:Generation, which explores the musical skills and style of five DJs he sees as most influential today: Skrillex (who won big at the Grammys last weekend), DJ Premier, The Crystal Method, Mark Ronson, and Pretty Lights.

In the film, the five artists choose collaborators and the movie follows their experience in writing and recording the track.

We've got tickets to the show and a link for you to download the soundtrack featuring music by all five artists.

To enter our Re:Generation movie ticket giveaway contest, simply complete these two steps:

1. "Like" us on Facebook, which you can do right here:

2. Leave a comment below telling us which DJ in the film interests you most and why. (Be sure to either sign in using FB or Twitter through our commenting system or use a working email address when you comment, as this is how we will contact our winners. Your contact information will not be used for any other purpose.)

Only those who complete both steps are eligible to win the pair of tickets. We will draw TWO winners at 3 p.m. Thursday (day of show). Your name will be on the list plus 1 at one of the following theaters: AMC 16 Southdale, AMC 14 Rosedale, or Kerasotes West End.

In the meantime:

It's hard to pick just one. I enjoy Skrillex and Pretty Lights. I've heard one or two Crystal Method songs and don't know much about DJ Premier. Mark Ronson is probably the most interesting to me. I like how he branches out and uses different types of music on his albums rather than limit his sound to something specific. Plus, He's funky!

Skrillex for sure! Anyone who loves jack and cokes and parties with Tommy Lee is amazing!

Jonathan Penland

Skrillex, because he is cute

Sarah Jane Peck

Pretty lights. I really like all the music that he's put out (for free) and he's got a great lineup on his label.

Scotty Johnson

I've seen Skrillex three times in minneapolis and Pretty Lights in maplewood. It would be cool to see some behind the scenes of how they put everything together. Also a fan of The Crystal Method, Nas, and Mos Def.

I want to see Skrillex and rock and see what glorious child they can produce.

Crystal Method consistently brings it with broken beats and unbeatable bass bass lines..

Jonathan J Potts

Mark Ronson really brings back the magic of an era gone by while still keeping music alive and current.

Christopher Spah

Skrillex. Sonny doesn't have a studio or home and was on the road 300+ days last year so he does everything from his laptop or other peoples studio! That's crazy talk.
