If you haven’t heard by now, Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize is putting together a 2 disc compilation of his best remixes. As an avid fan of this German techno god, this has greatly excited me as it’s an opportunity to pick up some quality remixes that I may have missed along the way. Now we all know the classics like Swoon, My Moon My Man, and many more (and if not, come on doood…) but there are some seriously top notch tracks that I was hearing for the first time. The full compilation will be released this Monday December 5, but Alex has been so kind to provide us with a full tracklist so we can all get a head start. Here are some of my favorite new (to me) tracks that I have picked up, and I suggest you all do the same.
Justice- Phantom Pt. II (Boys Noize ‘Unreleased’ Turbine Remix)
You’ve probably heard the version of this remix that was released by Justice. This version is fairly similar except for some minor changes in the beginning. But once the song hits the 4 minute mark Alex throws in a little acid surprise that compliments the already fantastic remix oh so well.
Gonzales- Working Together (Boys Noize Remix)
I have actually been a big fan of this song for quite some time, but I don’t think it’s that widely known so I figured I would share. It’s a fun track that’s groovy and glitchy all at the same time. It’s tracks like this that show off how versatile and talented of a producer he really is.

Para One- Dudun Dun (Boys Noize Remix)
This one is weird and acidic and everything I love most about Boys Noize. Once the beat drops around the 2 and a half minute mark, you can’t help but grind your teeth in anger (which is of course how any good acid song is measured).

Apparat- Arcadia (Boys Noize Remix)
The first half is light and melodic, and just when he lulls you to sleep, Alex turns this into a tech-house tune so bouncy yet chilled out, you cant help but tap your foot to it.
Make sure you check out the rest of the compilation, because there are plenty of other gems in there. And if you ever get the chance to check out Boys Noize live don’t pass it up, he never disappoints.
Keep it weird, and keep it fraiche.
