Fast Boy—brothers Lucas and Felix Hain—have become one of the most exciting forces in modern dance music, blending live instrumentation, emotional songwriting, and high-energy electronic production into a sound all their own. In a recent sit-down with Josh from Nexus Radio, the duo opened up about their whirlwind journey, from small-town beginnings to global stages, and the creative fire that keeps their momentum alive.
Born in Karlstadt and active originally as Oh Brother in Würzburg, Lucas and Felix truly found their artistic identity after moving to Berlin in early 2021. The city’s famous nightlife and eclectic music culture pushed them deeper into electronic music, transforming their craft from traditional songwriting into high-impact DJing and live performance. Fast Boy officially formed in February 2021, and their rise was immediate.
Their breakout moment arrived with “Bad Memories” — a massive collaboration with Meduza and James Carter — which soared to No. 13 on the German charts. From there, the doors kept opening. Work with Tiësto, Afrojack, Alok, Armin van Buuren, and Topic solidified their status as chart-topping creators with global appeal. Their signature blend of organic sounds and electronic energy struck a chord with both festival crowds and radio listeners.
In the interview, the brothers discussed how their live act separates them from the pack: Felix on guitar and synths, Lucas on electronic drums, and both delivering raw, captivating vocals. This hybrid setup allows Fast Boy to bring their studio magic into a fully immersive stage experience—more expressive than a DJ set, more electrifying than a traditional band.
They also teased what’s next: a major tour in the works, spontaneous pop-up shows, and an expanded live setup designed to elevate their performances even further. Through it all, they remain grounded. “We just highlight what feels most authentic to us and make it the heart of our show,” they shared, emphasizing their commitment to evolving without losing who they are.
Their international travels have produced unforgettable memories—from massive football stadiums in South America to surprise sets at Australian country festivals—experiences that showcase their universal appeal and the power of their storytelling.
Looking forward, Fast Boy aims to headline their own tour across Europe and the U.S., continuing to build their world through music. Managed by Friends with Benefits, the brothers show no signs of slowing down.
