Q&A with Klaudia and Bassboy: Behind the Scenes of “Luv Letters”

UK bassline heavyweight Bassboy has teamed up with rising vocal powerhouse Klaudia Keziah for “Luv Letters”—a heartbreak anthem that hits as hard on the dancefloor as it does in the feels. Fusing early 2000s garage flavour with slick, modern-day production and emotionally charged vocals, the track marks a fresh yet familiar return to the roots of UK club music.

With over 21 million streams and a reputation for tearing up festival stages, Bassboy brings the bounce. Klaudia brings the soul. Together, they’ve delivered a bassline revival that’s as raw as it is rave-ready. We caught up with the duo to talk inspiration, creative chemistry, and why the Y2K sound refuses to fade.

1. “Luv Letters” taps into that Y2K bassline and garage nostalgia—why do you think that era still resonates so strongly with listeners today, and how did you channel that sound into something fresh?

Bassboy:I started making bassline back in 2008, so it’s second nature for me to tap into that sound—it’s always been part of what I do. I think it still resonates because of the rave culture behind it. It’s fun, exciting music. When I started making bassline, I was deep in that scene—going to raves, hearing DJs play that sound—it literally changed my life and inspired me to become Bassboy. Even though I’d been making music since I was 12, bassline gave me a direction.

Klaudia:That era had this raw, carefree energy—music that made you move, but also told real stories and carried emotion. There’s a deep nostalgia tied to it, and people still connect with that. We took those core elements and gave them a modern twist, staying true to the genre but pushing it forward through fresh storytelling.

I think music moves in cycles, like fashion, but bassline and garage never truly left. They’re a timeless part of UK music—it’s amazing to see them back in the spotlight, reaching new audiences and sounding fresh all over again.

2. Klaudia, your vocals carry so much emotional weight on this track—how did you approach writing from a place of heartbreak while still giving the song an empowering, anthemic feel?

Klaudia:Thank you! For me, it’s all about finding the balance—telling a story people can relate to, but keeping it catchy and fun enough to dance to without overthinking. When I write about heartbreak, I focus on moving forward and choosing yourself instead of sitting in the sadness. That shift in perspective makes the track feel more uplifting and empowering, even if it’s rooted in something painful.

3. Bassboy, you’ve had a massive influence on the UK bassline scene—what made this beat feel different, and what was your reaction when Klaudia sent her take back?

Bassboy:Honestly, I was amazed. I made the beat in about 10 minutes—it was right after I’d come back from a DJ set, and the idea was fresh in my head. It just captured the vibe I was feeling at the time. When Klaudia sent her vocals back, I was blown away. The way she turned the beat into a full story with emotion and melody was incredible. She brought the whole thing to life.

4. The video blends stylised Y2K aesthetics with raw storytelling—how important was the visual side in bringing “Luv Letters” to life, and what were you hoping to communicate through the visuals?

Bassboy:We wanted it to feel authentic—something real, natural, and colourful. The idea was simple but effective: follow the day as it happened. We actually shot the video on the same day I DJed and Klaudia performed the track live for the first time. It made sense to just capture that vibe and chemistry. We make a good creative team, and I think that comes through on screen.

Klaudia:I’ve always felt that visuals and music go hand in hand—they bring a song to life and make it more memorable. A lot of the time, when I hear a track, I instantly visualise the aesthetic. The Y2K vibe came naturally with this one—it matched the sound and the story, so it just felt right.

5. This collaboration feels really special—what did you both learn from working together, and are there more joint tracks on the horizon?

Bassboy:I learned that Klaudia is hands down the best engineer in the game. I’m not even exaggerating—she mixed the vocals on Luv Letters and they sound incredible. She even taught me how to export stems in Logic Pro X in one click—I’d been doing it manually for over 10 years! That’s time I’ll never get back, haha.

Klaudia:We realised pretty quickly that we’re just as crazy as each other—and that’s why it works. We’re both focused on capturing a feeling, creating a vibe, and working fast and efficiently when we’re in the zone. Everything just clicked naturally. And yes—there’s definitely more music on the way. Keep an eye out!
