about
BOGUE is a new alter-ego of Ilya Arkhipov, previously known as the guy behind Vagina Vangi & Haárps. A debut single “Gelsemium Elegans” takes off the experience of his earlier witchhouse works merging the true Russian darkness with otherworldly drones, amorphous vocal cuts & synth chops.
Ilya describes BOGUE as a spin-off to Vagina Vangi as if it never broke up & kept on adsorbing the zeitgeist. Along with witchhouse signature sounds there’s also a huge influence of bass music, cyber grime & dungeon synth.
“BOGUE” is a cheeky interpretation of Russian word “bog” (god) that looks a lot like VOGUE Magazine. At the same time the spirit of these vibes neither satanic nor blasphemous. More likely, BOGUE is about futuristic anti-utopian vibes from barely existing universes. Still dark, edgy & experimental.

Reminded me a lot of Oddisee's "Traveling Man" LP resembling s a coming of age album where the focus is truly on tasteful production that is very approachable but whose essence lye in specific/technical sub genres ie 2-Step/Garage or Juke). Pixelord really showed the range of his skill set with this album. Brandon Kahill
rook (from Black Dresses) and nomie make shadowy synth-pop that touches some of the most personal, intimate aspects of human relationships. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 17, 2019
The new single from ako takes a decidedly woozy take on club music, with dreamy vaporware aesthetics and a deliciously laconic beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 29, 2022
