BOYS NOIZE (Alex Ridha) builds worlds, then builds bridges between them. Propelled by an infatuation with sonic invention and a prescience for subculture, the German-Iraqi artist, DJ and producer has developed a peerless practice that is both deeply informed by electronic music history and determinedly transcending conventions. Some fans find BOYS NOIZE through his productions for A$AP ROCKY, TOMMY CASH and FRANK OCEAN, or his film scores for OLIVER STONE's "Snowden"; through his house hit "Mvinline" on DEFECTED RECORDS, or his collaborative project OCTAVE MINDS with CHILLY GONZALES and DOG BLOOD with SKRILLEX, as well as an EP and OFF-WHITE capsule collection with the late designer VIRGIL ABLOH; through his remixes for DAFT PUNK, YEAH YEAH YEAHs and DEPECHE MODE, his features with RICO NASTY, PUSSY RIOT and KELSEY LU, or reworks of SHYGIRL, SEGA BODEGA and SOPHIE; through this year’s blazing run of 140+ bpm techno tracks and remixes, or the massive "Fine Day Anthem" with SKRILLEX.
