Today, Boys Noize releases the explosive, singular new track “Shut It Down” featuring TAICHU, a raw energy, high-voltage single already battle-tested during the unforgettable live sets at Coachella and Ultra Music Festival, and now finally available everywhere here. In a non-stop manner, he’s also remixed Star Wars “The Mandalorian and Grogu”, and Tame Impala x JENNIE’s “Dracula” (Boys Noize Disko Version). More new music is always right around the corner from prolific artist-producer - you can find out first here.
The 2026 Coachella debut of Nine Inch Noize proves Boys Noize (Alex Ridha) to be a singular figure in 21st-century electronic music. Transcending contradictions, the Iraqi-German DJ and producer is a legend perennially in the vanguard, a cross-genre bridge-builder respected by techno’s purists, and a global headliner who never left the underground. Ridha is masterful on the decks and inimitable in the studio, crafting songs for strikingly diverse talents including A$AP Rocky, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, Arca, Virgil Abloh and Lady Gaga. He’s been featured alongside Keinemusik, Shygirl, Kelsey Lu, Rico Nasty, and VTSS, remixed Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, A.G. Cook and Solomun, and collaborated extensively with Chilly Gonzales (Octave Minds) and Skrillex (Dog Blood).
For Ridha, this long, accomplished career was merely the foundation for something bigger. In 2025, Boys Noize performed alongside Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross throughout Nine Inch Nails’ Peel It Back tour, and co-produced the near-entirety of the TRON:Ares soundtrack, including the GRAMMMY-winning single “As Alive As You Need Me To Be.” The trio’s collaboration was formalized with the announcement of Nine Inch Noize, debuting with a top-billed, viral Coachella set that SF Gate called “one of the festival’s greatest performances of all time.” The Nine Inch Noize LP was released the same week to critical acclaim.
As a solo artist, Boys Noize continues to be an active presence in the culture, with his eighth solo album arriving in the fall of 2026. Rising from clubs to festivals to stadiums, Ridha has ceaselessly supported the underground through his labels Boysnoize Records and the newly launched ONES and ZEROS, focusing on the next generation of global talent. His punk ethos has kept him fully independent, raw talent keeps him in-demand, and obsession keeps him future-proof. No other artist has traversed musical worlds like Boys Noize, and while his sound cannot be replicated, his formula is simple: embrace everything, compromise nothing.
