Last year, 100 gecs remixed Linkin Park‘s ‘One Step Closer’ as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the band’s debut album ‘Hybrid Theory’. Brady also featured on a 10th anniversary remix of Rebecca Black‘s ‘Friday’.
In late 2020, 100 gecs featured on ‘Lonely Machines’, 3OH!3‘s first single since 2016. They also released the standalone Christmas song, ‘sympathy 4 the grinch’.
Reviewing ‘1000 Gecs & the Tree of Clues’, NME described the album as a “brain-melting, genre-crushing vision of pop’s future”, adding that it was a “brilliantly bonkers remix album”.
