German electro upstart Boys Noize brings the noise on his debut album. 'Oi Oi Oi' arrives in September.
Boys Noize is actually just one guy, Berlin producer Alexander Ridha, whose thrashy in-yer-face electro has netted a wide audience on labels such as Turbo, Institubes, Kitsune and Relish. Happy Boys Noize remix clients include Depeche Mode, Bloc Party, Feist, Tiga and the Kaiser Chiefs, while as a DJ, lately he's been the chosen understudy on the Soulwax and Justice tours. Ridha also runs his own label Boys Noize Records. A busy boy indeed then.
'Oi Oi Oi' (that title!) is a twelve-track noise fest of party electro with hip hop inspired song titles like 'Wu Tang' and 'Don't Believe The Hype' (Ridha is a Public Enemy fan). But don't expect trendy Modular-esque indie dance though. "Fuck off new rave... and bring back the party techno, " says Ridha in a message to fans on his MySpace. Spoken like a true oik.
