The DJ Heir: Living in the Shadow of a Tragedy
The Not So Ordinary Legacy of Luben Bojanov
- The heir of the murdered Martin Bojanov turned out to be a famous DJ
- I am one of the icons of electronic music, says Luben
“I am one of the icons of electronic music, I am God!” Oh, the divine ego of Luben Bojanov, son of the tragically murdered Martin Bojanov-Notary and hailed as quite the techno maestro. Now, when the son of a notary goes on record as declaring he’s not only successful but a deity in the DJ realm, you can’t help but cringe and chuckle simultaneously. It’s a bit like being told by your uncle that he’s the “Duke of Pecunia” because he found a 10-cent piece on the ground.
Luben says he’s been grooving on the decks since 2008, which makes his claim about the mastery of the techno scene feel a touch ambitious, doesn’t it? Since 2010, he’s been releasing tracks with various bigshots, claiming that each piece is a carefully orchestrated symphony of sound. And honestly, it takes true skill to get people dancing to what is, let’s be real, often just a glorified blender noise set to the ‘Eternal Loop’ setting.
“Most people know me as MORGAN MEXX, and now HODLER,” he continues, unveiling his accolades as if he’s just won the DJ Olympics. The HODLER project, he says, is all about demonstrating the art of the 60-minute DJ set. And bless him, he’s out to showcase the nuances of deep house versus melodic house. This is where he gets serious. “The goal is to show gradation,” he insists, as if we need a masterclass in mixing genres while nodding along in approval as the club shakes to the reverberating thumps of the bass.
But here’s the cheeky comment: when was the last time a 60-minute set didn’t feel like a three-hour car ride through the woods with no radio signal? I suppose that’s part of the beauty of DJing in Luben’s world—the painstaking selection process and all the ‘fine technique’. And let’s not forget the French software. Because when all else fails, you can always blame it on the tools, right?
To wrap up this exploration of ambition and eccentricity, our hero concludes with another strong claim: “I am God!” Now, it’s clear he’s not just spinning records; he’s spinning entire narratives where he plays both the DJ and the deity. Who knew that in the world of techno, personal branding could take on such grandiose proportions?
