DJ Mag

This issue's great covermount CD is mixed by Alex Ridha, aka Boys Noize. Showcasing raw electro/techno hybrids from his label Boys Noize Records, this cracking mix for DJmag is one to savour

Boys Noize & Erol Alkan

'Avalanche'

"I tell you a secret - Erol and me even sing on this track, and Ritchie Hawtin is playing it."

Shadow Dancer

'Biscayne'

"One of my first signings to my label. The best song to warm up the floor, and for some house DJs it's a peak-time track! Check out Shadow Dancer's album 'Golden Traxe'."

Djedjotronic

'Bit This Thin'

"For me the most talented producer at the moment. He manages to hybrid techno and house perfectly. His new EP and Jesse Rose remix is out now on Boys Noize Records."

Boys Noize

'Jeffer (Modeselektor Remix)'

"Good friends from my hometown. Their first idea was at a way faster tempo, but then they slowed it down and I love it."

Boys Noize

'Transmission (Djedjotronic Remix)'

"Modern techno at its best! I produced the original track with machines only."

Cart Blanche

'Gar Du Nord'

"DJ Mehdi and Riton team up to make club bangers? Yes! Mehdi gave it to me before Miami and I played it everywhere all the time."

Tony Senghore

'If You Came (Brodinski Remix)'

"Tony has been around for some time and I'm happy to see him back on the flow, and boy Brodinski always delivers great mixes!"

MMM

'Nous Sommes'

"Berlin represents part two! MMM's last release is almost 10 years ago and this is probably one of the hottest tracks of the year."

Paul Chambers

'Yeah Techno'

"Big, big track from this guy who operated as an unsung hero, providing the staple support act on the Soulwax travelling circus."

Clouds

'Sucker'

"Tiga played this out in Glasgow and I asked him what this was. He said, 'Do you see those 18-year-old guys going nuts in the front row? It's from them!' It's their first track ever and hopefully it helps them to quit jobs at McDonald's."

Jan Driver

'Tellyfoam'

"New old techno head from Berlin. This was the biggest track in Miami and it will move your feet this summer too."

Boys Noize

'Kontact Me (Jan Driver Mix)'

"My new single and Jan Driver's mix is huge! Ivan Smagghe said he hasn't heard anything this great in a while. It's definitely for the big moments."

Housemeister

'In Order To Dance'

"This came out last year but it's a timeless cracker and DJs haven't really discovered the power of this track yet. Housemeister just finished his new EP for BNR, coming soon."
