Mohamed Amine Bouguenna, known professionally as Bou (), is an Algeria-born musician from Manchester. He featured on Bru-C's "Streetside" before releasing "Closer" with Slay and "Baddadan" with Chase & Status, which peaked at numbers 84, 24, and 5 on the UK Singles Chart. He also inspired the cowbell use on Piri & Tommy's " On & On".

The week we meet (The reporter and Bou), on top of debuting the previously mentioned Chase & Status collaboration, he’s (bou is) also neck deep in the release campaign of ‘Closer’, his first major label-signed single. Sampling Robert Miles’ iconic, piano-tickling mid-1990s hit ‘Children’, and fused with the hooky vocal charms of MC, friend and fellow Manny operative Slay, ‘Closer’ has all the makings of a crossover success.
Made in the thick of a social at his studio, it came to life in under an hour. “My mate Ollie plays me ‘Children’ and is like, ‘Why don’t you remix this?’” Bou recalls. “I was messing around on FL Studio while everyone was chatting and drinking in the background, and Slay just goes, ‘Oh wait, I got a hook for that!’ We wrote the tune in 40 minutes. That was the tune. We put a teaser on SoundCloud and had nine or 10 major labels emailing my manager wanting to sign it.”
