Real Lies is a North London-based music group known for their unique synthesis of electronic music, reflective storytelling, and a deep infusion of contemporary nightlife culture. Formed in the early 2010s, the band has consistently been associated with a sound that combines elements of house, ambient, and British pop, along with lyrics that capture the bliss and melancholy of youth. Their music often reflects on themes of existential musings, urban living, and the ephemeral nature of relationships, all set against the backdrop of late-night cityscapes.

Over the years, Real Lies has garnered attention for their evocative soundscapes and poignant lyricism, as illustrated by their discography which includes tracks like "Sinking Suburb," "Shirley Road," and "End Credits." They've also engaged in creative reinterpretations of their work, as seen with their remix "Build A Fire (Real Lies Remix)" and have inspired other artists to reimagine their tracks, leading to remixes such as "Late Arcades (Gramrcy & John Loveless Remix)" and "Boss Trick (1-800 GIRLS Remix)." The group's artistry extends to collaborations with a diverse range of producers and remixers, helping to solidify their position in the electronic music scene. Songs like "Ultraviolet," "Lad Ash," and "Dream On" continue to expand their musical landscape, blending hypnotic beats with vivid narratives that resonate with a generation caught between the virtual and the real.
