Having started producing and DJing at a very early age Hamburg-born Alex Ridha has become one of electronic music's most prominent artists under the name of Boys Noize. Never afraid to break new grounds, his energetic sets and productions draw from a wide range of influences, such as his hip-hop and disco roots, and he has remixed and worked with basically everyone in the music business, from Black Eyed Peas to Kelis, from Jarvis Cocker to Spank Rock. His own labels Boysnoize Records and BNR TRAX are dedicated to promote a similarly wide range of artists, from piano master Chilly Gonzales to Manchester's 8bit ravers Shadow Dancer.
