BILLY KENNY B2B MAXIMONO in The Lab #SmirnoffHouse
at EDC Las Vegas
A Billy Kenny B2B Maximono session at the Smirnoff House during EDC Las Vegas is the sonic equivalent of a sugar rush—immediately gratifying, slightly chaotic, and designed for maximum, bass-faced enjoyment. This is tech house with the volume knob cranked into the red, a celebration of big drops, bigger basslines, and the kind of edits that make you grab the person next to you. The EDC crowd is a neon-drenched mass, ready to be pummelled by the next wobbly low-end mutation. Technically, it's a bass-heavy romp with an average BPM of 127.9, primarily navigating the 12A key for maximum dancefloor compatibility.
The energy is overwhelmingly focused on a thick, sub-aquatic low-end that dominates the spectrum, with minimal mid-range clutter and sharp, punctuating highs. Their b2b style is playful and punchy, favoring quick cuts and dramatic builds that serve the festival's demand for instant payoff. The harmonic journey is secondary to the physical impact of each bassline drop. The tracklist is a who's who of peak-time weapons.
They open with Malaa's sinister 'Diamonds,' setting a G-house tone. From there, it's a parade of anthems: the timeless piano of Marshall Jefferson & Solardo's 'Move Your Body,' the extended, wobbling madness of Billy Kenny's own 'I Eat Beats' remix, and the classic minimalism of Basic Channel's 'Phylyps Trak II/II' thrown in for underground cred. They even find time for the Franky Rizardo remix of 'Cola,' ensuring no one feels left out. The set starts with the sleazy strut of 'Diamonds,' builds to a frenzied peak during the marathon 'I Eat Beats,' and cools down (slightly) with the sleek, driving finish of Dosem's 'All Locations.'.
