American musicians and composers renowned for their synthesizer-driven scores and contributions to the electronic band S U R V I V E.Kyle Dixon (born 1984) and Michael Stein (born 1985) are Austin-based electronic musicians who gained global recognition for scoring Netflix's 'Stranger Things'. As members of the band S U R V I V E, they pioneered retro synth sounds before their Emmy-winning soundtrack work catapulted them to mainstream success.

• The duo initially declined involvement in 'Stranger Things' due to scheduling conflicts, but creators the Duffer Brothers personally persuaded them after hearing S U R V I V E's music.
• They composed the entire Season 1 score in just six weeks using vintage 1980s synthesizers, creating demos in their home studios before recording final versions.
• Their 'Stranger Things' soundtrack unexpectedly charted on Billboard 200, reaching #15 in 2016 - a rare achievement for instrumental television scores.
• Despite Emmy wins and nominations, Dixon and Stein maintain anonymity; they rarely appear at red-carpet events and focus exclusively on music production.
