Berlin's Boys Noize, a.k.a. Alex Ridha, is 26 but already has a decade's worth of music-making and DJing behind him. At 16, he started DJing for the likes of DJ Hell and Felix Da Housecat. In 2003, Boys Noize was born, with a mutant techno sound and early releases on International Deejay Gigolos, Kitsune and Turbo. In 2005 his remixes of Bloc Party and Kaiser Chiefs became ubiquitous and he found himself on bills with Soulwax and Erol Alkan. His official remixes have also included Depeche Mode, Snoop Dogg, Marilyn Manson, Sebastian Tellier and Late of the Pier. His 2007 debut album "Oi Oi Oi" was followed up in 2009 with the keenly anticipated, experimental "Power." This year, Ridha has become a sought after producer of note, having worked with Kelis, Black Eyed Peas and Gonzales--proving that he has one of the brightest futures in electronic music, not the least of which includes playing the Main Stage at this year's Electric Zoo!
