about

Contact Kid Mixel Pixel use obscure video game samples and sublime lyricism making a unique electro-folk style that pushes the envelope of popular music. The Mixel Pixel sound is, at its core, electronic, punky, paranoid, and half-Japanese; an overall by-product of growing up in the 1980’s. It is irreverently experimental, with its hot pink ghetto blasting beats, quirky guitar changes, folk interludes and imagist lyrics. Live they incorporate video projection for an overall visual and aural experience that completely envelops the audience. For fans of: The Unicorns, The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, Atari Video Games

Mixel Pixel is: Rob Corradetti, Kaia Wong, Matt Kaukeinen, Matt Snee.
Their influences include psych-folk music such as The Byrds, Pink Floyd, and Love, Lo-fi music such as Daniel Johnston, and Beck, and experimental electronic artists Bruce Haack and Laurie Anderson.

Mixel Pixel began loosely as a home recording project in 1997 when songwriter Rob Corradetti began making tapes on a 4 track he purchased while working on a farm in rural Minnesota. In 1999, Corradetti relocated to Brooklyn and began playing with long time collaborator, Matt Kaukeinen. A combination of casio pop, video game samples, tape loops, and folk music, the band was a stark contrast to the electroclash and post-punk revival scenes happening in New York City.

Mixel Pixel played their first official show in New York City on June 24th, 2001 at Brownies.
