Boys Noize

Boys Noize, real name Alex Ridha, is exactly the kind of producer I gravitate toward: restless, abrasive, and impossible to pin down. His German-Iraqi roots and Hamburg base give him an outsider's edge, and that grimy, distorted electro sound has aged remarkably well. What impresses me is the company he keeps, remixing Daft Punk and Depeche Mode while collaborating with A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, and Nine Inch Nails. That range, from underground club tracks to genuine pop and rock crossovers, is rare. He's a DJ and producer who never seems content to repeat himself, and I respect artists who keep their sound dangerous.
