Boy Next Door

Living a Lie

Boy Next Door — Living a Lie

Boy Next Door: quite contrary to the typical image advocated in American pop culture, a subliminally mysterious aesthetic dominates the music and visual style of the Berlin based producer and DJ of the same name. Instead of small town heartache in technicolor, BND stands for robust grooves, sharp hi-hats and infectious hooks – something he demonstrates on ‘Living a Lie’, his new track on Stil vor Talent. While the atmospheric original captivates with its emotional vocals and acidic licks, Oliver Koletzki focuses on a techno bass-line, spheric bleeps and a powerful drop. Our Swiss newcomer Benotmane also drags the original’s features into darker directions: here, cinematic synths mill through tight drum programming.
