Boys Noize on Boobs and Blunts

Once we'd established that his new album Out Of The Black isn't about clinical depression, I managed to get some lulz out Berlin based Alex Ridha, of Boys Noize notoriety. Though he argued that he had no sense of humor, we got to discuss the finer points of life as a superstar DJ and producer, like meeting Snoop's personal blunt roller, having his shit stolen mid DJ set and signing boobs .

Noisey: Your new album’s out soon, fancy breaking it down for me?

Boyz Noize: Sure. It’s called Out Of The Black, it’s my third album, I’m releasing it worldwide on my own label, BoysNoize Records, and I’d say it’s a good mix of my first and second.

Right on. Will it help to cure depression, hence the name? Or is it about getting out of credit card debt?

Erm, music is always really good for depression, even if you hear some really dark music. Honestly, it was more coming out of a twist on the saying “out of the blue”. I dunno, it just sounds cool.

Yes, yes it does. How was working with Skrillex?

It was fun. He came to my studio and crashed at my place for a couple of days, which was good. He’s a really talented producer, I have to say. Some of his stuff is sometimes I bit too poppy for me, but as a producer I think he's very talented and very quick.
