Musician, graphic designer, and DJ from Saint Petersburg. Guitarist in goodnight kissess, member of the creative collective Sholotch and its sub-project Sound, as well as the Music Camp project. In his work he combines influences from the British dance scene, broken rhythms, IDM, and noisy, dreamy guitar genres — from shoegaze to experimental electronics. His music balances club energy, atmospheric noise, and melancholic aesthetics. Alongside his musical work, he operates as a designer, creating visual systems and graphics — forming a cohesive audiovisual language across everything he makes.

BGDN is the updated alter ego of Aleksey Krjuk, who previously released electronic music under the name Bogdan (with releases on the labels Not An Animals and IDA). The shortened name also marks a shift in sonic focus: a more radical departure from house roots toward broken rhythms and laboratory-like experimentation. The project functions as a platform for testing “what if?” ideas, where the search for new compositional techniques takes priority over fitting into a specific genre. At its core, BGDN draws influence from early IDM, electro, and the Saint Petersburg scene—particularly the Cheburec label and the group “Yolochnye Igrushki.” It is music as research, where the artist collides methods of classical electronic production with the deconstruction of rhythm.
