Boys Noize and Brutalismus 3000 released “Nächstenliebe” on October 29, 2026, the second single from 7LLVSION, his first solo album in five years, out November 6 on ONES and ZEROS. The title is German for “love of one’s neighbour,” the old Christian ideal of charity, and the song sounds about as far from a church pew as music gets. The single cover is in on the joke, with red hearts scattered across the lettering.
The track opens on a step-sequenced bassline straight out of the DAF playbook, the German EBM pioneers both acts name as a key influence. Brutalismus 3000 singer Victoria Vassiliki Daldas pays tribute to the late DAF frontman Gabi Delgado-López with shouted German vocals over a sparse half-time beat. It feels like a Berlin basement with the lights stuck on red.
Then it starts shapeshifting. A breakdown of whispers and pads gives way to half-sung, half-spoken Sprechgesang, a snare roll builds the pressure, and the whole thing crashes into four-on-the-floor with squelching synths. The last bars flip to dembow drums, a hard left turn that somehow lands perfectly. Two minutes and fifty seconds, at least four different moods, and every one of them hits.
The pairing has history. Boys Noize co-produced Brutalismus 3000’s album Harmony with Theo Zeitner and Dylan Brady, and he features on its lead single “I Bring My Gun To The Function.” Following “1+1+1” with ZEP, “Nächstenliebe” is the second look at a 12-track album that also pulls in Adame DJ, Locked Club and TAICHU. Boys Noize celebrates release night at Obsidian in Phoenix on November 6, then shares the EDC Orlando bill with Brutalismus 3000 on November 8. This chapter feels loud, sweaty, and a little unhinged, which is exactly where he sounds best.
