OUT OF THE BLACK

Alex Ridhažbetter known to the world as BOYS NOIZEžhas been making electronic music and working as a DJ for over half of his life, which is no small feat considering that Ridha is currently only 29 years old. As a DJ, Ridha has established himself as one of the world™s preeminent wizards behind the DJ decks, having played some of the world™s biggest stages alongside some of the biggest names in dance music. As a recording artist and a producer, Ridha has created his own sound, and pioneered his own brand, amassing a formidable body of work in the process. He has released two albums (2007™s Oi Oi Oi and 2009™s Power) and countless singles as Boys Noize, as well as doing profoundly influential work as a remixer and a producer for everyone from Depeche Mode, Feist, Daft Punk to David Lynch and Jarvis Cocker. He has also collaborated extensively with Erol Alkan and Mr. Oizo (on a project called Handbraekes). As for the title of his new record, Ridha explains that this music isn™t coming from out of the blue. In fact, it™s the opposite. šI tend to make and produce music only at night,› he says. šI also generally only perform at night, so this is music that™s coming totally out of the black. Also, they say the color black can absorb all other colors, which is a cool way to think about making music. You absorb every other kind of musicževery possible soundžand what comes out of you is something new, something out of the black.› Tracklist CD 01 What You Want 02 XTC 03 Missile 04 Ich R U 05 Rocky 2 06 Circus Full Of Clowns feat.
