Los Angeles-based dance music maestros Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland are often linked with their British counterparts, the Chemical Brothers, as they share a certain 1990s "big beat" aesthetic, with intense breakbeats, deeply moving basslines, and dramatic dynamics. In addition to making some of the most popular club music for the late '90s and early '00s, the pair have created scores for film and television. Crystal Method was nominated for a Grammy in 2005 for their album LEGION OF BOOM.
