​Bixel Boys' Remix of Elliphant is a Bass Music Molotov Cocktail

"Never Been in Love" is the perfect soundtrack to your next riot.

Angeleno upstarts and #FREELIFE proponents Bixel Boys capped off their stellar 2014 by holing themselves up in a studio for January and emerging with a whole new twist on their aesthetic. Whereas before, their enrapturing blackness was primarily concerned with sporting references, now they're swathed in the imagery of social unrest, riots, and uprisings.

Case in point: Swedish swagstress Elliphant's original for "Never Been in Love" is a soaring alt-pop epic of a tune that brings the feels. Bixel Boys' remix of the track takes it to some dark backalley, sets it ablaze, and sends it into the teeming masses like some bass music molotov. It's par for the course for Bixel Boys, pretty much everything they put out now is fire (pun both intended and not intended).
