DJ profile on Crystal Method like you\'ve never heard them before, first broadcast on A3 Network on South Beach. For too long, electronic dance music has been the domain of studio-oriented British artists schooled in Detroit techno and Chicago house. American originals The Crystal Method are helping change that with their bristling brand of electronica - played live as well as on record - which stems from a love of rock, hip-hop, electronic and soul. The Crystal Method\'s Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland helped re-establish America\'s place on the dance music map with the acclaimed 1994 City of Angels single \"Now Is the Time,\" which married samples and sound bites with pulsing breakbeats and electronically generated hooks. Several singles, compilation tracks and remixes later, The Crystal Method started recording songs for Vegas (Outpost Recordings), their debut album, released Aug. 26, 1997. The two first worked together as DJs in their hometown of Las Vegas, but it was a move to Los Angeles that precipitated the band\'s surge to the forefront of America\'s burgeoning electronic dance movement.
