Co-founded by Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan in 1993\, the GRAMMY®-nominated duo pioneered the big beat genre and defined the sound of a generation\, beginning with their platinum-selling debut\, Vegas (19 97). \n\nTo date\, The Crystal Method has played more than 1300 shows—h eadlining EDC\, Lollapalooza\, and Ultra Miami—while their music has app eared in more than 100 film\, TV\, and video game soundtracks. Along the w ay\, TCM has released such best-selling titles as Tweekend (2001)\, Legion of Boom (2004)\, and Divided by Night (2009)—the latter two of which ea rned GRAMMY® nods for Best Dance/Electronic Album. While Jordan retired i n 2017\, Kirkland reimagined The Crystal Method as a solo act. Now\, the i nnovative artist continues the evolution with TCM’s seventh studio album \, and his second solo outing\, The Trip Out.\n\n \;\n\nPaul Oakenfold Perfecto 30 Bio (short version) \n\n“Pete Tong said it perfectly: gett ing a release on Perfecto is like a badge of honor\,” Paul Oakenfold rec alls. “A dance music badge of honor! Those words really meant a lot to m e as we began to consider how to properly pay tribute to Perfecto’s firs t three decades as a record label.” \n\nPete Tong\, of course\, is danc e music’s longtime tastemaker supreme – but don’t just take Tongy’ s word for it: in 2003\, none other than the late Queen Elizabeth bestowed an award on Oakenfold on behalf of the British Empire as a “Pioneer of the Nation” for his contributions to dance music. All aspects of that le gacy are coming together with “Perfecto 30”: a expansive series debuti ng in 2023-2024 spanning unique global events\, musical releases\, and exc lusive artist/DJ performances that reflect not just 30-plus years of the P erfecto imprint’s success\, but the goalpost-moving achievements of Oake nfold\, Perfecto’s co-founder and figurehead\, as well. Indeed\, it’s hard to separate Perfecto’s landmarks from Oakenfold’s storied history as arguably the first global superstar DJ\, paving the way from Ibiza and the Glastonbury main stage to smash Las Vegas residencies\; as a hitmakin g producer for everyone from Happy Mondays to Madonna and U2\; a pioneer o f contemporary electronic music soundtracks for games and hit Hollywood mo vies like Swordfish and Bourne Identity\; and an innovator of DJ culture a cross genres\, crucial in bringing underground club sounds from trance to EDM to a worldwide mainstream audience (and that’s just a partial list). “Paul’s attitude in starting Perfecto was quite visionary\, quite ref reshing – I think he started a brand\, really\, that also happened to be a label\,” Tong notes in the upcoming documentary Welcome to Perfecto.  \n\n“Perfecto 30 is really the umbrella for it all\,” Oakenfold expl ains. In addition to the release of Welcome to Perfecto (which features ad ditional commentary from the legendary likes of Fatboy Slim\, Carl Cox\, T odd Terry and David Guetta\, along with cultural perspective Mixmag’s Ni ck Stevenson and DJ Times editor Carl Loben)\, Perfecto 30 will include a series of remixes and DJ mix recordings featuring everyone Oakey OGs like Carl Cox to new jacks like Franky Wah. Meanwhile\, Oakenfold himself will make a series of special DJ appearances crisscrossing America and the UK t o Ibiza and Australia – many involving the parties\, festivals\, and sup erclubs like Cream where he made his name\; in them\, he plans to revisit Perfecto classics and deep cuts like PPK’s “ResuRection\,” Planet Pe rfecto’s “Bullet in a Gun\,” and his own smashes like “Starry Eyed Surprise” (the hit collaboration with Crazy Town’s Shifty Shellshock from Oakenfold’s platinum debut solo album\, 2002’s Bunkka). Oakenfold also promises a special event at an epic\, unexpected venue where dance m usic has never been played before\, which is no small promise. After all\, he was the first DJ to play Stonehenge\, Area 51\, the Great Wall of Chin a\, and base camp at Mount Everest – and when he played at the Special O lympics in Abu Dhabi\, his set was broadcast to over 760 million worldwide households. “All I can say is\n\nwe’re looking at one of the oldest c athedrals in England\,” Oakenfold notes with a mischievous smile. \n\nM ost of all\, “Perfecto 30” will celebrate the full heritage and influe nce of the dance-music empire Oakenfold has built – from helping create DJ superstars out of the likes of Hernán Cattáneo\, Mark Ronson\, and Da vid Guetta to bringing underground dance sounds to fresh ears. “I can ho nestly say\, Perfecto tipped me on to house music\,” Fatboy Slim claims\ , pointing to hearing early Perfecto classic “I’ll Be Your Friend” b y house-music legend Robert Owens at a Brighton club as a career-changing epiphany. “I learned trance from Paul Oakenfold\,” Todd Terry admits i n Welcome to Perfecto\, citing his groundbreaking mix CD’s like Another World and the Tranceport series. Indeed\, with trance revivalists like Evi an Christ currently redefining the big room sounds Oakenfold popularized a nd neo-electronic groups like Sextile exploring the Manchester grooves he helped produce in the studio for Happy Mondays\, Perfecto’s diverse soun d remains more relevant than ever. Across the main Perfecto imprint and it s four sub-labels – Perfecto Records\, Perfecto Fluoro\, Perfecto Black\ , and Perfecto House – the label has touched nearly every significant da nce movement of modern times\, from progressive\, trance\, and EDM but als o drum and bass\, Balearic\, electro\, and beyond\; as such\, on his last artist album\, 2022’s Shine On\, Oakenfold found himself collaborating w ith a diverse creative crew including Cee Lo\, Luis Fonsi\, Aloe Blacc\, A zealia Banks\, and Zhu. Oakenfold points out Perfecto 30 will also launch a number of releases of today’s most cutting edge dance-music artists an d producers including Velvet Cash\, Danny Stubbs\, Blink\, Adam White\, an d Nat Monday. Oakenfold’s syndicated Perfecto Radio show\, meanwhile\, s till draws 25 million listeners internationally on a weekly basis to hear him spin his latest tunes and dancefloor discoveries. For the next chapter of Perfecto\, meanwhile\, Oakenfold claims he’s returning to the roots of the label’s original mission. \n\n“I’m going back to doing strai ght club records – underground tracks that I love\,” Oakenfold says. “You have to understand\, Perfecto is now a thirty-year-old brand: there are generations that have grown up with the sound. They got into dance mu sic and have grown up with the label\, collecting our vinyl from day one. It’s turned into much more than a label. So to celebrate that spirit\, I ’m just going to do what I’m good at and really love – and go out in a blaze of glory for my last dance!\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.jointherevolution.net/wp-content/upl oads/2026/04/Static_Social-Instagram_1080x1350_PaulOakenfoldTheCrystalMeth od_RevolutionLive_0604.jpg CATEGORIES:18+,Concerts LOCATION:Revolution Live\, 100 SW 3rd Ave.\, Fort Lauderdale\, FL\, 33312\, United States GEO:26.121358;-80.1461974 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=100 SW 3rd Ave.\, Fort Laud erdale\, FL\, 33312\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Revolution Live:geo:26.121358,-80.1461974 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
