Thank god, there’s a lot of talented kids who play really rough techno, compared to the cheesiness of a lot of other producers.’ Boys Noize: ‘I was never impressed by the whole EDM-thing’Īlexander Ridha is not the latest scene expert who confirms that the shiny EDM hype in America is about to decline. and that’s about to change though a new generation. ‘I find the evolution of dance music in the USA pretty exciting as it really marks something new, especially for the young people. ‘It’s definitely increasing, especially in the USA. ‘I did quite a few of those events in the past year,’ explains Ridha regarding the illegal Kreuzberg rave. Playing live in front of an excited crowd still thrills him, the less commercial it is, the better.
#BOYS NOIZE MAYDAY ALBUM MP3 FULL#
Releasing a full album just marks one small element in the big BOYS NOIZE microcosm. Ridha is a restless traveller between shows and studio productions. VIELEN DANK AN ALLE DIE DA WAREN & s/o for the Support ✌🏼Įin von Boys Noize gepostetes Video am 3. It was a great day in celebration of peace, anarchy and my upcoming record which I played a few times through for the crowd. The police asked us politely to shut it down and I did. We did this very DIY!! As you have seen from the videos the vibe was incredible and very peaceful. On May 1st my crew and I had the idea to throw a street party in Berlin strictly for my fans and the city. It’s also where Mayday, his upcoming fourth studio album was created over the course of the past years. Hidden in the basement, in-between countless synthesizers, drum machines and mixers this is where the BOYS NOIZE magic happens, at least partly because Ridha also owns a second studio in the city. ‘I’m excited to try out new things,’ he tells me when we meet in his really tiny studio in Berlin two days later. Still, the 33-year old producer remains restless. He performed on every continent, from the smallest clubs to the mightiest EDM festival stages. He worked with everyone from SNOOP DOGG to SKRILLEX and remixed big players like DAFT PUNK, DEPECHE MODE, PET SHOP BOYS and even RAMMSTEIN. Over the course of the past ten years the Hamburg-born and Berlin-based gentleman became an institution in the global dance music scene. Yes, the partly illegal aspect of dance culture is still something that heavily appeals to Ridha. Ridha and his crew agreed, nobody was harmed and the crowd moved along to the next potential illegal rave. The police let it pass and politely informed him during the encore that it might be better to turn off the noise.
However, you can’t generalize this and on this Labour Day, Alexander Ridha showed up without official permission to perform a BOYS NOIZE DJ set close to the Spree in Kreuzberg. Friendly families and hip tourists instead of hooded protestors – a somehow symptomatic change of themes in the German capital. Labour Day changed its face over the past years and today it seems to be less about throwing stones at cops than finding an excuse to drink on the streets during daytime. When you look at the streets of Berlin on May the 1st you almost tend to forget that this day was once known for its political uproar and riots.
