Alexander Ridha started producing and DJing at a young age. He supported Felix Da Housecat and DJ Hell under his previous pseudonym, Kid Alex. He was awarded the Independent Music Award in 2010 as well as the Best Electronic Artist award on Beatport for three consecutive years. His sound is unique and different, crossing over hip-hop with disco, as well as house.
It was in 2004 that Ridha released his first EP entitled “The Bomb/Boy New” under International Deejay Gigolo Records but shortly after, decided in later releases to maintain his freedom and establish his own label in 2005. He released his first full-length studio album, “Oi Oi Oi” in September 2007, and his sophomore album entitled “Power” between October 1st and October 17th 2009 in various countries from Japan to the UK, Belgium to the USA and Canada.
He was always gaining the attention of artists and new fans, building up his following over time, especially from remixes of works by David Lynch, N.E.R.D, Depeche Mode, Snoop Dogg, Daft Punk and more. He also had the opportunity to work with Kelis, Kano, The Black Eyed Peas and BIGBANG. It was his third studio album; “Out of the Black” released on October 16th 2012 that featured international superstar Snoop Dogg on the track “Got It”.
He broadened his horizons further embarking on a collaborative project with New York band, Scissor Sisters. He also formed a side project with Skrillex called Dog Blood. They performed at the 2013 Miami Ultra Music Festival.
In 2014, he did a composition for a German movie called Who Am I – No System Is Safe. He also released a remix album of “Out of the Black”.
Alexander Ridha better known by his stage name Boys Noize is another example of the fantastic dance music currently coming out of Germany. The nation has always been an important player in the trance/electro scene and it is great to see this tradition continuing through the likes of Boys Noize. Since releasing his debut album in 2007 Alexander's reputation has simply exploded on the dance scene and he is now a frequent attendee of some of the best electro festivals and events around the world.
It is clear that his name is now well recommended by the large crowd who have gathered for his late night set. The man appears completely on his own to huge cheers from the crowds. There is no need for hype men or dancers this evening, Ridha's music and mixing abilities is more than enough to keep the crowd jumping and dancing along to the achingly cool beats. The techno keeps their arms raised for 'Push Em Up' before he throws in some of his remixes for The Chemical Brothers and Snoop Dogg for good measure. There is no doubt the future of German electro is safe in the hands of Boys Noize.
