Congratulations to the Sex Pixels!
This fan favorite mixtape impressed us all with its great mixing, fun vibe, but most especially for the deft way Brendan and Tyler incorporated the many musical styles and vibes present at LIB into one seamless experience. As the prize for their winning entry, they’ll be playing the festival’s opening slot on Friday afternoon on the Bamboo Stage. Go check em out!
LA Times actually announced the grand prize winners on their Pop & Hiss blog earlier this week. Read a preview of LIB and download the Sex Pixels mix on the LA Times Pop & Hiss blog. You can also check out their soundcloud page here.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER: Follow Me Now To A Place You've Only Dreamed Of: THE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE EXPERIENCE by SEX PIXELS
As good as the Sex Pixels mixtape was, picking a winner was no easy task. We were blown away by the number and variety of mixtapes we received. Ya’ll are incredible! So many hours of great musical journeys were put together and we are tremendously grateful for the passion and participation you all brought to the contest.
Our two runners up, Kalix Sky and b.stee both captured the relaxed and welcoming vibe we strive to create at LIB at all times, while still dropping those heavy dancefloor beats that are such a big part of the festival experience. They both will receive a ticket to the festival.
