Essentials: Bixel Boys

LA-based electronic duo Bixel Boys is in for this week’s Essentials. Consisting of Rob May and Ian Macpherson, the boys describe their sound to be “underground for big rooms,” which is a humble statement considering their magnitude in the EDM scene. You can attempt to pinpoint their sound, but the array of styles and influences incorporated into each release will only leave you baffled. Blending aesthetics from punk, techno and hip-hop, Bixel Boys continues to marvel dancefloor aficionados across the nation. For their Essentials, you can find both lifestyle products and production tools that keep them on-point in and out of the studio. Ensuring that they have the most powerful production plugins and software, the Bixel Boys keep it up to date with their 2014 Macbook Pro. Athletic staples alongside #FREELIFE x YOUTHMACHINE long sleeve tee are pieces they incorporate into their fashion-forward style. A record from Defected house guru Kenny Dope provides riffs of inspiration, perhaps best listened to while sipping on their beverage of choice, a Seasonal Stone IPA.
