The Boysnoize Records catalogue contains more than a decade of milestones in the life of Angeleno DJ and producer Pilo. His signatures -- a focus on sound design, and a digital crunch evocative of hardware rather than software -- are present from the very beginning, but the evolution of Pilo's skill and sophistication is clear as he stretches from electro to experimental to techno and back again in a slowly oscillating gradient. Yet despite his dozen or so releases in just as many years, G.L.A.M. is Pilo's first proper album. That the record embraces the cyclical nature of time is apropos; the artist's journey towards self-actualized mastery always ends with a new beginning. Over the eight tracks of G.L.A.M., Pilo reaches deep into the dream that first ignited the passion that has driven him since. For a chosen few internet-connected American teens in the aughts, the sounds of European electro (and electroclash) trickled down their ethernet cables and instilled a fantasy of exotic, sartorial, sexually-fluid hedonism that felt a world away from the hard-edged masculinity of the hip-hop and skate cultures dominant at home. Pilo opens G.L.A.M. expressing this idealized fantasy with the track "Superstar DJ," channeling the tongue-in-cheek self-celebritizing of Miss Kitten and The Hacker
's seminal work. On the track "A Slow Thinning Halo," Pilo might be conjuring the haunting vocal chops and chiptune simplicity of early Crystal Castles, but the whiplash snap of his drums and sizzling production are all his own. "Spend the Night" is G.L.A.M.'s least nostalgic -- and most unashamedly pop -- offering, with the mic being passed between Sana and DEEVIOUS. DEEVIOUS' sultry singing rides atop the bassline as it hypnotically struts across the floor, while Pilo's skillful arrangement, deft rhythm programming, and atmospheric control elevate the songcraft into full-spectrum worldbuilding. The closing track still references aughts sounds, but it borrows so widely and prolifically that Pilo's reassemblage can only be described as singular. Here, Pilo pushes his engineering into psychoacoustic territory, as the eerie, beautiful melancholy of "One Last Embrace" explodes into a thrashing bassline that warbles like a drowning memory, struggling against the sinking weight of time. Pilo allows it to survive for 16 electrifying, gut-wrenching bars before letting go. In G.L.A.M., as in Pilo's career, as in life, every ending can only be a new beginning.

Unklevon announces debut UN1C LP on Boysnoize Records. The album consists of 11 tracks and features collaborations with Boys Noize, Alina Pash, Maral, Vel, and DJ MELL G. The title track starts with a steady snare-heavy beat, foreboding atmospherics and a futuristic vocal. It introduces the France-based producer's Detroit-inspired electro LP and also marks his debut full-length, landing on Boysnoize Records, a label Unklevon's been affiliated with since 2022. For the second track the International Chrome and Nechto artist is joined by Maral for "Bag Secured," adding her sensual vocals to a raw cut featuring rough synthlines and racing rhythm. "Science Club" then continues with infectious and hypnotic energy driven by a deep, earworm vocal before "Speed Chains" picks up pace with speedy basslines and rhythms shot through with bleeps. Ukrainian singer Alina Pash infuses Unklevon's "High Key" with fantastic modern hip-hop flair, with "All 4 Homies" returning to the club with cut-up sampling and tripped-out electro sonics. Boysnoize Records' Boys Noize also teams up with Unklevon for "Spa8cid," a menacing dancefloor heavy-hitter which eases into the acid madness of "Miami South Express" which follows. Next up, Unklevon and Vel drop the aptly named "Transed About U," a true peak-time roller boasting hypnotic trance-like gated vocals, with German electro superstar DJ MELL G joining him for "Wizard Snakes," taking a more classical approach with rich synth lines and crisp drum work. Closing out this fantastic first album from a promising name in the global electro spheres is "Call Me Von," another amped-up, bass-laden track ready to rock the warehouse.

In 2021, BOYS NOIZE's fascination with traversing dualities hits a new apex on his fifth studio album +/- (pronounced "Polarity"). Berlin's BOYS NOIZE turned principled dedication into an outsize presence among 21st century DJs and electronic musicians. A career punctuated by audacious cross-genre exploration has earned him an enviable fluidity of practice across borders and scenes, yet his definitive fingerprints are present on every creation. The German-Iraqi producer and DJ (born Alex Ridha) never thought much of rules or restraints. BOYS NOIZE's +/- encapsulates a distillation of his career-to-date in waveform shape, where valleys of subterranean techno, industrial and jacking house transition into peaks of star-driven collaborations. Backed by the club adept's battering beats and cloaked in deep, immersive textures, the songs, while rich, possess a mean bite -- even +/-'s most melodic moments bare the sharpened teeth of Ridha's modular synthesis and processing; a new breakthrough for the gear lover. The +/- album exhibits BOYS NOIZE's evolutionary blueprint for bridging diametrical musical positions, while testing the limits through self-discovered modular workflows. A sense of otherworldliness and a suspension of time is shared on "Affection", an ethereal, trance-gated Atlanta bass singalong featuring alt-R&B singer ABRA. One also finds this feeling in the monumental, metallic atmosphere of "Act 9," a brooding ballad featuring Vinson. "Ride or Die" with Kelsey Lu and Chilly Gonzales has BOYS NOIZE juxtaposing the beautiful with the delirious. A tapestry of blissfully affective moods is woven through a pummeling tribal backbone, as if Lu's lush melancholy arrives to heal all the synapses seared by 140bpm excess. The essence of +/- is found in such paradoxical worldbuilding and the undeniable attraction it elicits through the unfamiliar, a rare accomplishment in an era of algorithmic refinement. Collaboration does not necessarily come at the cost of having to compromise. BOYS NOIZE's lifelong commitment to the throbbing, dark energy of the underground makes its presence known throughout +/-. Each single, whether "Girl Crush" with Rico Nasty or "Nude" with Tommy Cash, comes paired with a b-side that would challenge any of the aforementioned performers' fans but revs the engines of the die-hard ravers awaiting their next hit of BOYS NOIZE at his hardest. Through both image and sound, +/- surveys the anything-is-possible output of a distinguished techno producer exploring a newly opened world of distinct collaborations, freed from all confines, in a state of evolution of both genre and self. Also features Ghost Culture, Jake Shears, and Corbin. Gatefold sleeve with CMYK, silver, gold print; jacket interior print and obi.

Russian duo Locked Club joins Boysnoize Records for the release of IRAK, an EP of dark and utterly kinetic electro and techno with a punk edge. The legacy of Detroit and The Hague get roughed up on the streets of Moscow with overdriven percussion, booming bass and aggressive acid elements keeping one foot firmly planted in the past while the other kicks the future in the face. This is absolutely banging stuff for dangerous dancefloors, and it crackles with visceral energy. The title track "Irak" is the most restrained, with slowed vocal loops and a delirious mijwiz sample that make the 130bpm tempo of the straight 4/4 feel much faster. "Doschitai" puts frantic chops and distorted bass over a start-stop rhythm with some very hot claps. When the "Nautilus" sample creeps in, so do the chills -- this is truly a massive tune. "Two Girls" brings back the 4/4 but with maximum jack. Ominous voices continue the dark mood of the EP, but the syncopated cowbells and stuttering bassline make this the stand out track for your body. Locked Club end with "999999999", where a melancholy ambient introduction is quickly betrayed by metallic breakbeats, neuro-funk sonics, and haunting Eastern vocal samples. It's a track you'd play towards the end of the night (morning?) to give everyone a moment of calm before plunging them back into hysteria. Locked Club's IRAK EP never hesitates and it does not care if you can keep up. But for those looking for the adrenaline of a fight on the dancefloor, the IRAK EP provides it -- no violence necessary.

The famously unconventional Djedjotronic is back with more of his unpolished brilliance on Boysnoize Records. Frenchman Djedjotronic always cooks up dystopian drama with a tangible physical aesthetic that rips dancefloors apart. He does so on CPU, Zone, and this label and is in his element in a sweaty low-ceilinged basement as much as he is the iconic techno hub that is Berghain. A master of dark and uncompromising grooves, he has more than ten years in the game behind him but still serves up the unexpected. This most thrilling of EPs opens with "Boish", a twisted electro tune with dark drums and coarse synth textures crashing down all around you. It's haunting and haunted and brilliantly unrelenting. Next up is "Global Surveillance", a more quick and slick electro track with big, busted kick drums powering along the crisp boom bap of the analog percussion. Paranoid synths add a wonderful sense of tension to this standout production. Slowing down the tempo is closer "Rusted" with its corrugated bass and jittery metallic hits. It's the sound of a ruined warehouse late at night at some point in the future, long after humans have left. These are high powered, high impact tunes once more from one of the best in the game.

Boys Noize (Alex Ridha) starts the new decade with unprecedented momentum. Fresh off a 2020 Grammy nomination, the Berlin artist, DJ, and producer releases a double A-side reflecting a contrasting spectrum of modern techno. The grinding, hi-tech and low tempo industrial production of "Girl Crush" featuring Rico Nasty propels the ascendant rap icon into new territories of club disruption. "Buchla 100" reaches ecstasy with a recording of the rare, original, 1960's built Buchla 100 modular synth system as it breathes, morphs, and comes alive over tribal percussion. Achieving perpetual motion, Ridha's propulsion is fueled by recent collaborations with Lady Gaga and Virgil Abloh, two anonymous side projects plus a new moniker Elax, creating the Grammy nominated "Midnight Hour" with Skrillex and Ty Dolla $ign, producing both Frank Ocean's "DHL" and A$AP Rocky's "Babushka Boi" return singles and releasing the disco-drenched song "Why Not?" with Francis & The Lights. Behind the scenes, he teamed up with rap producer Kenny Beats for a grip of buzzing tracks, and joined Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and The National's Aaron Dressner for studio sessions and a performance at their eclectic 37d03d (People) Festival in Brooklyn. Boys Noize is leading the way as techno, house, and pure rave continues to electrify the music world.

Villager, aka Alex Young, is a dynamic new producer who has been signed to the iconic Boysnoize Records for two fresh new EPs, kicking off with the superb Aura. This promising artist has an arresting and energetic sound that perfectly fits in with this label and comes after years touring with DJs such as Skrillex, Diplo, and Cashmere Cat. As well as the focus on refining his ability as a producer in the studio, the Villager project is also about taking the live electronic experience to a new level, using visuals created and curated by Alex himself, and featuring a balance of DJ sets along with shows that are live and improvised, using synths, drum machines, and the latest in music technology. Opener "Vessel Boy" shows off his skills immediately: it features hard hitting drum loops and is wired up with synths, whirring machines and distant bird calls that all froth with energy. The excellent "Aura" then pairs lo-fi beats with taught synth sequences and crashing hits to really bring a new rave sound. "Chimera" shows off another side to this artist with celestial melodies raining down the face of a vulnerable, piano-laced groove that slowly transforms into a shuffling house track. "Treehouse 1" is more delicate, with a suspensory groove detailed by thoughtful pads and deft melodies that drift and float in a wide open and late-night expanse. "Treehouse 2" is the standout closer, with distorted drums and manic synths layered up into high pressure rhythms that are designed for warehouse destruction. This is a fascinating EP that covers plenty of vital club sounds from a brand-new perspective.

There's a notable progression in A Convenient Excuse Pt. 2 with Cardopusher appearing to be a producer in fast-forward stride. If Pt. 1 (BNR 183EP) was a survey of the darker side of '80s industrial and EBM, Pt. 2 takes a more focused look at the sort of "haunted Italo". Four of the five tracks are up-tempo and club ready this time, driven by vicious arpeggios and bit crushed drums. Skinny Puppy atmospherics still make their appearance, and it is still music to play a tabletop game of Shadownrun to.

Venezuela's electronic legend Cardopusher is back on Boynoize Records with the first of a two-part EP. The slow, twisted opener is "Broadcast Signal Intrusion", which has haunting bass and crashing hits over heavy drums. Then "Blood & Pain" picks up the pace with electro drums and contorted metallic synths. Slowing things down to a crawl is the masterful "How Deep Is Your Love" with its distorted bass and icy hits. The brain-frying "Subjected To Disintegration" has haunting sounds, shadowy bass, and an emerging dubby groove. "Temporary Forever" is a dirty, rough-edged electro track with stiff bass and edgy chords.

Techno has a long legacy of channeling the future through aural exploration. It's always been a time traveling genre with a specific focus on the interface between man and machine -- or perhaps the replacement of the former by the latter. These cross-temporal experiments continue on Djedjotronic's LP R.U.R., where cold machines are sequenced by a warm heartbeat, unless of course it's the other way around. There are lots of nods to the great techno-futurist producers of the distant and recent past, from Cybotron to I.F. to The Hacker to sounds of the legendary Thursdays at Pulp in Paris when Ivan Smagghe helmed the decks. In the album's most aggressive, dancefloor-focused moment, Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy lends vocals for an industrial-arpeggiated monster of a track. Much of the album, however, explores lower BPMs. From the ambient opening of "Dr. Rossum," to the OG electro styling of "H+," to the aptly jacking "Cockring Robot," the album serves as a haunting time-traveling trip temporally and through genres. It rightfully ends with the titular track "R.U.R.," Djedjotronic's own vision of the future. The past's own prophecies of technology usurping humanity are all but coming true, and this album is Djedjotronic's call to arms.

Fashion design is a creative task involving the shaping, bending, and breaking of codes. Techno is similar, as one mines the genre's legacy in order to navigate new territory. Creative polymath Virgil Abloh is most widely known for his fashion work, but it's no surprise his track "Orvnge" with Boys Noize is a powerfully executed exercise in the shared practice of finding the memetic, fractal base that forms the skeleton for a myriad of patterns that inevitably follow. "Orvnge" is a club weapon serving as a robust beginning for the further possibilities of their collaboration yet to unfold. Orange vinyl.

SCNTST provides the fantastic album Scenes And Sketches From The Lab on Boysnoize Records, three years after his last one, Puffer (BNR 024LP, 2015). Bryan Müller makes classy shadowy techno as Skee Mask on Illian Tape, but as SCNTST he focuses more on expansive and cinematic atmospheres, rich melody, and shifting timbres. As such, Scenes And Sketches From The Lab is a considered and cerebral affair that shows maturity and musicality across all fourteen tracks. It reimagines techno, ambient, bass, IDM, and electronica into new forms that are artful and highly detailed, and as such it works as well in headphones as it no doubt will in the club. Opening up the album is "Dilettante Fonk", four minutes of lithe and celestial breakbeats with heavenly pads that suspend you in a crystal clear blue sky. "Espera" is a weightless mix of stuttering synth riffs and broken rhythmic patterns which work in a manic but beautiful fashion above a cacophony of live sounding drums. The exquisite synth craft continues on tracks like the pixelated "And Don't Dis The Arp" and beguiling experimentation of "08141 PtII". No drums in this album are standard, they all explore a wide range of styles and tempos, pushing the envelope as they go. Some lurch and loop and others bounce about loosely below blissful chords such as on "The Ends From Castle Road". More introverted moments come on "Morf (Tomchord Mix)", the tempo rises with driving techno on "Jomox Plus MFB" then SCNTST shows a playful side on the swaggering "Outline Dub". Acid lines makes an appearance on the brain-melting "Opus Quod Acidum" and after serene hi-fidelity percussive workouts like "'14 Tepéca" things close on the excellently doleful ambiance of "Power Remains". This is an utterly spell-binding album that shows off impeccable studio skills as well as a wealth of fresh ideas.

Strictly Raw Vol. 2, follows Strictly Raw Vol. 1 which was released in 2015 and described as, "a collection of his label Boysnoize Records' filthiest industrial stalwarts" by SPIN Magazine. Boys Noize on the concept of Strictly Raw Vol. 1 and Vol. 2: "The idea of the Strictly Raw release is to take one drum machine and one or two synths and make a track with it. Over the years, friends came in and out of my studio and sometimes we'd end up jamming on my machines. Since it's #BNR10YR I wanted to collect the good ones and put them all together, and there is some magic going on. As a DJ, you always look out for this timeless house or techno music and here are nine tracks that go from breaks to techno to acid to classic house; all analog, all strictly raw!"

6th Element is Jensen Interceptor's newest release with frequent collaborator Assembler Code. "2231" is an evil acid stomper with haunting metallic hits strongly rooted in the likes of Skinny Puppy and early Noise Unit. The title track is both the deepest and most frenzied, with a tension and release arrangement built for the dancefloor. "Runner" is a proper title for a track in which the breakbeat and acid line never stops going and your body can't either. "FM Expander" takes an interesting approach to reductionism, with a Jersey club kick pattern keeping time for sparse, bit-crushed percussion.

Venezuela born, Barcelona based Cardopusher's career goes back over 12 years -- the proverbial 10,000 hours to master a skill long fulfilled. New Cult Fear, on Boysnoize Records, proves it through disciplined, focused craftsmanship. It's the type of no-frills production that deceives the amateur listener with its simplicity, while the seasoned listener knows that the simpler the elements, the harder it is to make a track that moves the dancefloor. Moving dancefloors it does, although there are few smiles to be had. This is music for dark rooms, for Nitzer Ebb's famous pairing of "muscle and hate". This is being electrocuted by a broken TB-303 -- only you find the feeling erotic, your exclamations recorded on a haunted reel-to-reel. And it's never sounded so good. The 11 tracks of the LP sit squarely in "the zone", that time in the club when time itself has stopped, when mind turns off and body takes control. Menacing acid lines, jacking bass, and harsh, reductionist production build the backbone to fragmented Latin percussion and vocals (including a feature by Miami's Cuban/German Otto Von Shirach), which nod to Cardopusher's South American roots and lend a sense of exoticism to its otherwise Detroit rooted aesthetic. This sense of geographic and temporal disconnection/reconnection permeates the LP; this is Detroit techno and Chicago acid, broken, fragmented, sent through antiquated and illegal P2P networks to Venezuela, burnt to CDr and snail-mailed to a Barcelona basement rave, recorded live, then blasted wide open in fractal bits over a global electronic network and reassembled here-and-now in a darkly crystalline execution. As the title New Cult Fear suggests, this is less the stuff of dreams and more-so of a paranoid nightmare. But let your body take control, and nightmares never sounded so good.

The album Mayday (2016) saw Boys Noize take his raw, aggressive production to new levels of musicality - true songs instead of club tools. Never one to stray too far from his roots however, Mayday Remixes brings it all right back to the basement. Nearly every track from the album is reworked by Boys Noize with the club and DJ in mind, and the techno gods should be thanked because his Roland TB-303 and TR-808 could handle it. "Overthrow" gets an absolutely jacking acid overdub, "Mayday" is tweaked for maximum dancefloor effect, "Dynamite" gets a Benga dub, "2 Live" morphs into sonically rich disco, "Euphoria" gets a hard percussive techno overhaul, and fans finally get the epic live reprise mix of "Starchild" heard in Boys Noize's sets across the world in 2016. The new album additionally offers remixes from a diverse roster of fresh faces and respected talent. The brutally aggressive "Hardkotzen" gets a proper techno remix by Sydney's Jensen Interceptor, BNR's young rave revivalist Raito brings his signature '90s touch to "Midnight", and Rockwell - of course - offers an utterly mad "Birthday" remix. Mayday Remixes, and edits, expand the original album's world providing its fans, new listeners, and DJs alike a wealth of choice cuts - always shedding cliches, always pushing the boundaries of electronic music and culture forward, and always, always Boys Noize. Also features: Remy Banks, MXM, GILA, Polica, Hudson Mohawke, and Spank Rock.

Boys Noize about "Midnight": "I've had the vocal for a long time and I played with it in my DJ-sets but I never found the right angle to make this an actual song. My first attempt was this industrial break sort of idea but I kicked it away and tried many other versions... So, I decided to re-visit my very first idea and yes it became my favorite version. This process is a good example of trusting your initial feelings and intuition." Remixes by: Boys Noize & Mr. Oizo, Addison Groove, Audion and Cardopusher.

George Thompson, aka Black Merlin, continues to push his retro-aggressive style forward with his new Control. The first two cuts, "Control" and "Secondo", capture the neurotic, mechanical energy of a fantasy after-hours in a weapons factory with production evoking the most dancefloor forward moments of Front 242. The last two tracks discard the club's restraints for excursions into sound and narrative. "Blindfold" is a nightmarish soundtrack to automated torture, complete with shouts and screams. "Sequencer" closes with slow, moody, analog arpeggios, rising, falling, filtering, twisting around, through, over, and under each other.

Djedjotronic presents Strapon. "Strapon" is a sweaty pulverizing tech jam with all the subtlety of a jet black 15" double ender, its sweeping bass riff sways back and forth guaranteeing the essential climax every time. "Solar Bird" takes us deeper into the Frenchman's psyche as he takes us on a trip through techno past, present and future. Further into the EP we strike electro gold as Djedjotronic guides us through a maze of classic breakbeats with lavish metallic ripples, squelching acid flurries and industrial strength textures before we're bid a passionately paranoid adieu on "System".

Two massive, industrial-inspired analog tracks from Boys Noize. "Midnight" features a darkly processed spoken mantra -- "Midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m. . . . 9 a.m., 10, let's do it again" -- over rough breaks and distorted, cavernous bass, making it a hauntingly effective dancefloor tool for any time of night (or morning). "Los Niños," is an impeccable nod to classic EBM and new beat that could be a lost production from decades ago. If Liaisons Dangereuses, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Silent Servant had children together, they would be "Los Niños." Vinyl only. Limited edition of 300.
