The Crystal Method is an American electronic music act formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland in the early 1990s. They were pioneers of the big beat genre and their music has appeared in numerous TV shows, films, video games, and advertisements. Their 1997 debut studio album Vegas was certified platinum in 2007, and saw follow-ups Tweekend, Legion of Boom, Divided by Night, and The Crystal Method. In 2017, Ken Jordan retired from music and left the group, with Scott Kirkland adopting The Crystal Method as a solo moniker.
The Crystal Method originally had two members, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland. Before The Crystal Method was formed, Jordan and Kirkland started working on music while working at a grocery store. Jordan was also a local DJ in Las Vegas as well as the college radio program director at UNLV. Jordan taught Kirkland how to DJ, and when Jordan moved to Los Angeles to work for a producer, Kirkland took over his job DJing at the local club. Kirkland also moved out to Los Angeles, and they formed The Crystal Method in 1993.

RISING’s handed Liquid Architecture some subterranean territory, bringing sounds from West Papua, Iran and Europe for a striking night of experimental sound world building.
Naarm-based art organisation Liquid Architecture supports radical interdisciplinary experimentations offering a platform for artists working with sound -- from our everyday data driven world to the dissonant, to the beat driven with sounds that defy definition.
For an all-night takeover of Max Watt’s, LA have invited Iran-based sound artist Sote in collaboration with audio-visual composer Tarik Barri on an immersive Live AV work. They’ll be joined by the king of experimental dembow from The Dominican Republic/New York heavy hitter Kelman Duran, and West Papuan music producer Asep Nayak, who has been redefining the Wisisi music of his home region, creating rapid, relentless, and euphoric ceremonial sounds.
Liquid Architecture invites you to a big night of absorption into beat driven experimentations, echoes, melodies, sounds and searing visuals.
