100 gecs — Boiler Room Los Angeles, 2023

Live set by 100 gecs for Boiler Room in Los Angeles, in 2023, in partnership with Apple Music and recorded in 3D spatial audio. An American duo formed by Dylan Brady and Laura Les, 100 gecs is the spearhead of hyperpop, an aesthetic that blows apart pop, punk, EDM and digital saturation. In the chaotic intimacy of the Boiler Room format, the duo turns the crowd into a frenzied pit, stringing together breakdowns, pitched vocals and distorted bass. This filmed live capture conveys the energy of an unclassifiable show, halfway between a punk concert and an electronic rave. An ideal document for understanding one of the most talked-about phenomena of the 2020s electro-pop scene, and for gauging the stage singularity of a duo that built its reputation on controlled excess. A live set to watch in full, carried by the instantly recognisable Boiler Room aesthetic. For anyone wanting to understand hyperpop and the 2020s electro-pop scene, this 100 gecs Boiler Room live is essential viewing, at once provocative, playful and surprisingly precise, and a prime example of how the format turns a club room into a cultural event.
