I am still wondering whether LOL Boys are real, or intricately constructed androids with a penchant for head throbbing, game changing percussive dance music. A quick google search will give you an idea of how expansive their remix work has been over the past year, with an arsenal mainstream R&B re-edits to spine crumpling drum patterns overtop indefinable dance anthems of the future.
But who exactly are these two strange musicians? Real people, or a manifestation of the internet becoming aware of its own existence and using that consciousness to start making dance music?
These two mystical overseers of the web took a moment to shoot the breeze about influences, forthcoming work, (never) forgetting about Dr. Dre, and also provided us with a fantastic mix of exclusive club music – much of which I can absolutely guarantee that you have never heard in your life.
Interview by Brendan Arnott (my text in bold)
For those on the internet who don’t know – who are LOL Boys and how did they start making music together?
We met through a music message board. We were both into each other’s music and thought “Why not try something together for this remix competition?” We liked how it came out, so we continued to work together. So, basically, the whole concept behind LOL Boys was like, to exist on the internet… to make music over the internet sending parts back and forth, try something different. It’s an ongoing collaboration. We’ve made beats where we’re in the same room but normally we’re about two thousand miles apart.
We just received this missive from friend of the label and legendary disciple of the road, the one and only Juiceboxxx.
Juiceboxxx here. Just got back from a 2 1/2 month tour of North America supporting my mixtape THUNDER ZONE VOLUME ONE. Check out this insane video of me raging at Festival NRML in Monterrary, Mexcio! I think I totally lost my mind on this one, but I’m chillin’ in the heartland for a bit, so that feels really positive.
