While the rest of the web seems obsessed with the as-yet-unheard and surely unholy collaboration between Skrillex and the remaining members of The Doors from the new film Regeneration, another star of the film, DJ Premier, let’s us hear what happens when a beloved producer works with an uncommon musical partner.

Premier got to go into the studio with the esteemed Berklee Symphony Orchestra, and he brought along Nas for the session. The resulting tune, “Regeneration,” features the two hip-hop icon’s legendary styles, backed up by the force of a full orchestra, creating something more powerful than your average sample jockey can squeeze out of his MPC.

The film also features Pretty Lights, The Crystal Method and Mark Ronson having a go at new sounds and styles. Keep an eye on the Re:Generation website for info as to upcoming screenings, and check out the official trailer as well as behind the scenes footage of Premo working with classical music professor Bruce Adolphe below.
