STREAMING AUDIO INTERVIEW

Coming through on that big, distorted electro wave that brought us fellow buzzed-out contemporaries like Justice and Teenage Bad Girl, Germany’s one man maestro Boys Noize has been packing out clubs and destroying dancefloors on a nightly basis. But rather than ride that wave, the man behind Boys Noize’s iconic disco ball skull Alex Ridha has been on a constantly evolving course, flittering about from the straight up bangers of yesteryear to something a bit more complex and inventive on his latest album Power.

It’s been an interesting twist from the German heavyweight, but one that’s won him even more fans, as evidenced by the hordes of followers that were excitedly awaiting his arrival at this year’s Future Music Festival. Before he hopped on the plane, Ridha took some time out to talk to ITM’s Dave Ruby Howe about his month-long Australian tour around FMF as well as the changing dance music landscape and throwing open his doors to a myriad of collaborators.
