It's not easy to start an introduction about Boys Noize. From his work with Skrillex, Snoop Dogg, Chilly Gonzales, and Daft Punk, among an endless list, to his own solo work, such as his recently released Go Hard EP, the Hamburg-born Alex Ridha is a veteran DJ with so impressive a CV, it's nearly impossible to know what to mention.
Going into a Boys Noize set is a trip through a once-in-a-lifetime journey. His execution, precision, and passion all pour out in every set, as the rhythm of the music seems to pour out from his very core. There are many producers that have disappointed come time for a live show, but BN's years of experience (playing his first gig at 16) have proven that he has become legendary within the DJ circle for a reason. Simply put, this man is a force that is not to be reckoned with.
FabricLive 72: Boys Noize will come to see the light of day come November 18th. For 70 minutes, Ridha mixes through jackin' house, techno, dub, and electro to create a timeless piece of art that highlights the rich history of the electronic scene. While moving forward and still giving an ode to the past, Boys Noize has done it again and created a mix that is "timeless, colourful, and happy."
The tracklisting is posted below, and pre-orders can be found here. There is also a release party at Fabric on Friday, November 15th with Strip Steve, SCNTST, Jimmy Edgar, I-F (DJ Set), Djedjotronic, Kowton, and Daniel Avery, among others. More info on that here.

Comments
Boys Noize is such a G. So happy i got to see him at such a small venue this past weekend. I do have one small opinionated comment about one of his recent tracks: "Starwin"; i feel like he ruined the track with his signature sound.. the track starts with such a nice classic daft punk flow and then boom, the track is ruined with his signature Acid sounds. regardless doe, amazing producer.
