Interview with BOY2K

We had the pleasure of interviewing BOY2K over Zoom video!

Just in time for Pride Month, celebrated electro pop duo BOY2K releases their revelatory debut EP. Combining the groove of modern dance music with the irresistible songcraft of acts like Sofi Tukker, PNAU, Empire of The Sun, Scissor Sisters and AR/CO, Y2K Is Dead is both a confetti-gun call-to-arms and a celebration of the radical and connective power of dance music.

BOY2K’s mission is to make “Music For The People,” that is, music that celebrates the power of community. A community built in mutual support, love, acceptance and music that begs the listener to get up and move!

The members of BOY2K has been noted as an “artist to watch” by such publications as Billboard, Earmilk, Gaytimes, NYLON, and OUT! Magazine have been featured on tracks with global dance acts including Adventure Club and BLEM. Together, the duo combines years of experience and diverse perspectives that make for an electrifying sound. In addition to their upcoming debut release, BOY2K is diving headfirst into the Web3 space and are currently collaborating with several outlets to develop next level projects in the NFT music space.

“‘Y2K Is Dead’ is something of a memoir of our new best friend-ship. A collection of sonic ideas that have inspired us during this first year together as a "boy band." We are queer guys who laugh at everything together, love warehouse parties, techno sunrises and who value being honest about our feelings and encouraging each other (and our community) to think critically about the world. We hope that people see the humor of our friendship, as well as the real inspiration that we get from working together. It's also amazing that at this stage, we've been able to share that inspiration and ethos with so many like-minded artists, both on the music (Tom Ferry, Conor James) and visuals (Lisa TV, Pedro Lollett). Building community is the purpose of our music and we're grateful that EP has already done that for us in spades!’ -BOY2K

BOY2K

Artist

Composed of Boy Untitled and Boy Apocalypse, BOY2K is a forward-thinking experiment in the connective power of dance music. Described by Wonderland as “addicting” and “sonically expansive,” the pair began making music together after meeting at a show in 2019 resulting in the birth of a collaborative project that celebrates radical queerness and challenges assumptions about what (and who) dance music is for. Fusing house, techo, trance and pop music, BOY2K is committed to making people move AND think about the world; their music addresses a wide range of topics including technology, social media, sexuality and more.

The members of BOY2K has been noted as an “artist to watch” by such publications as Billboard, Earmilk, Gaytimes, NYLON, and OUT! Magazine have been featured on tracks with global dance acts including Adventure Club and BLEM. Together, the duo combines years of experience and diverse perspectives that make for an electrifying sound.
