Interview: Miles Gallan Talks THE LOST BOYZ

With his upcoming album THE LOST BOYZ, faceless artist Miles Gallan is preparing to release what might be his boldest project yet. Narrated by DJ KLEAN and featuring contributions from “& co.,” the album has already sparked curiosity. We sat down with Gallan (digitally, of course) to discuss the project, the concept behind it, and why he’s giving it away for free.

Q: The title alone — THE LOST BOYZ — feels like it carries a lot of weight. What does it mean to you?

Miles Gallan: THE LOST BOYZ is about the people who feel invisible. It’s for the kids who grew up online, in-between spaces, making their own worlds. It’s about being faceless, nameless, but still unforgettable. We’re all “lost” in some way, but when you find others like you, that’s when you start building something real.

Q: You’ve credited DJ KLEAN as the narrator. What role does narration play in this album?

Miles Gallan: DJ KLEAN is like the voice of the story. Think of him as the guide through the maze — he pops in, he gives you context, sometimes he talks directly to you. The narration makes the album less of a playlist and more like a movie you listen to.

Q: Why release it as a free album with a “fair price” option instead of going through streaming or traditional sales?

Miles Gallan: I didn’t want THE LOST BOYZ to be locked behind platforms or algorithms. Music should spread like a rumor, not like a subscription. Free means anyone can step into this world. But if people feel something and want to give back, that’s love too.

Q: What can listeners expect sonically?

Miles Gallan: Chaos and calm at the same time. There are moments that feel raw, almost like a basement freestyle, and then others that are cinematic and layered. It’s hip-hop, but it’s also digital soul, punk energy, internet static — everything I grew up with in one universe.

Q: You mentioned “& co.” on the credits. Can you tell us who’s involved?

Miles Gallan: “& co.” is everyone who helped make the world bigger. Some friends, some artists I admire, some voices you might not recognize until later. It’s not about big names — it’s about a collective energy. The faceless squad.

Q: Do you see THE LOST BOYZ as part of a larger story in your work?

Miles Gallan: Definitely. Every project is a piece of the map. Afterglow was about light after darkness, this one is about being adrift but not alone. They’re all connected in ways people will figure out if they look close enough.

Q: Last question — what do you want people to feel when they finish the album?

Miles Gallan: Like they’ve been on a journey with strangers who somehow feel like family. Like they weren’t just listening, they were part of it. I want people to walk away thinking, “Maybe being lost isn’t so bad if you’re lost together.”
