Musical style

Production techniques

100 gecs' production process emphasizes a DIY ethos, particularly in their early work, where and recorded remotely by emailing audio files between their respective homes in and , often using basic setups in bedroom environments. This approach allowed for spontaneous collaboration without the need for in-person sessions, fostering an experimental workflow that prioritized creativity over polished infrastructure. For instance, on tracks like "money machine" from their 2019 album , they layered disparate samples, including 8-bit-inspired sounds over punchy basslines, combined with synth plucks and processed noises such as a SpongeBob clip and feedback loops, to create a yet cohesive . Their signature techniques involve extensive vocal manipulation, including pitch-shifting to extreme registers using set to tight correction for a "staircase" effect and pitching up melodies for a high, cartoonish quality, as heard in the distorted, flexing vocals of "money machine." effects are achieved through pitch-bending on elements like snare patterns and adding to vocals and instruments, contributing to the rapid, disorienting energy of their tracks. While early productions relied on self-taught engineering in digital audio workstations like for discovering and layering sounds—such as the Dobro slide guitar sample in "money machine"—later works incorporated for arrangement and experimentation, avoiding repetitive four-bar structures to maintain unpredictability. Tempo shifts, such as the abrupt BPM drop in the bridge of "757" from (2023), further enhance this dynamic chaos, often reaching high speeds to cram dense ideas into short songs. Post-2019, their process evolved to include professional mixing, as seen in sessions at EastWest Studios for 10,000 gecs, where they integrated live elements like drumming by Josh Freese on tracks such as "Me Me Me" while retaining core layering and glitch techniques. In live performances, they replicate this studio chaos using laptops running Ableton Live, with Brady queuing tracks and adjusting effects via taps on the device, paired with MIDI controllers and a Behringer X32 mixer for routing instrumentals and vocals through two microphones; Les handles crowd interaction, singing, and occasional guitar, ensuring the shows mirror the unpredictable production style. This setup underscores their commitment to a stripped-back yet versatile live production that echoes the bedroom origins. As of 2025, they have continued touring with this setup, performing at festivals without new studio releases.

Genre influences

100 gecs' sound draws heavily from the movement, particularly the glitch-pop aesthetics pioneered by and artists like , whose remixes of tracks such as "Money Machine" highlight the duo's affinity for exaggerated, fragmented electronic pop structures. Their early work also reflects the chaotic energy of 2010s rap, incorporating emo- elements reminiscent of Lil Peep's fusion of beats with emotional, autotuned vocals and themes of vulnerability. This foundation is evident in the duo's use of nightcore-pitched vocals and lo-fi production on their self-titled 2016 EP, blending raw digital experimentation with hip-hop's rhythmic drive. The duo further integrates punk and emo sensibilities, pulling from Warped Tour-era acts like Paramore, Chiodos, and The Devil Wears Prada for their high-energy, melodic aggression and confessional lyrics, as Dylan Brady and Laura Les have cited these as key childhood influences. Emo elements extend to nods at Blink-182's pop-punk hooks, reimagined through distorted guitars and chaotic arrangements in tracks like "Me Me Me" from 1000 gecs. Video game music and chiptune aesthetics, inspired by the pixelated synths and upbeat rhythms of early Nintendo soundtracks, add a playful, nostalgic layer, with nightcore effects evoking the sped-up, game-like intensity of the genre. Cultural influences from internet memes and online permeate their work, as the duo has described memes as a primary creative spark alongside traditional music sources, informing the absurd, collage-like and soundbites on albums like . Echoes of 2000s pop's excess, akin to ' glossy, pitch-corrected anthems, appear in their hyper-processed vocals, amplifying pop's artificial sheen into something deliberately warped. Electronic subgenres such as footwork—rooted in Chicago's juke scene, near Dylan Brady's hometown—and gabber's frenetic beats contribute to the propulsive, breakneck rhythms, with influences like Skrillex's evident in their heavier drops. Over time, these influences have evolved: the lo-fi of their 2015–2018 EP gave way to the genre-mashing of (2019), while (2023) leaned into thrash and riffs, drawing from bands like for abrasive textures. The 2022 EP intensified this shift with collaborations, including on "Torture Me," incorporating wobbly basslines and aggressive electronics that build on earlier nods like those from .
