Boys Noize and Brutalismus 3000 Unite for New Single ‘Nächstenliebe’
Electronic music pioneer Alex Ridha, better known as Boys Noize, is set to drop the second taste of his highly anticipated studio album, 7LLVSION, this Thursday, October 29. The upcoming track, titled “Nächstenliebe,” showcases a high-energy collaboration with the rising Berlin-based duo Brutalismus 3000. This release serves as a final bridge to the full LP, which is scheduled to hit streaming platforms on November 6 through the Ones and Zeros label.
A Deep-Rooted Berlin Connection
The synergy behind “Nächstenliebe”-which translates from German to “neighborly love”-is no coincidence. It represents the culmination of a creative partnership that has been simmering within the German capital’s underground club circuit. Ridha’s influence on the Brutalismus 3000 sound is well-documented, as he played a pivotal role in writing and producing their recent studio work. This track acts as a natural extension of that shared artistic vision, blending their distinct industrial and techno sensibilities.
A Diverse Sonic Landscape on 7LLVSION
With 7LLVSION, Boys Noize continues his two-decade-long tradition of defying genre boundaries. Whether he is experimenting with raw electro, driving techno, or avant-garde pop, Ridha remains a master of sonic shapeshifting. The upcoming album reflects this versatility, boasting an eclectic roster of collaborators including:
* Halsey
* Abra
* Safety Trance
* Mayah Alkhateri
* ZEP
This star-studded lineup highlights Ridha’s ability to bridge the gap between mainstream pop sensibilities and the gritty, experimental roots of electronic music.
Beyond the Studio: A Busy Season for Alex Ridha
The lead-up to this album has been anything but quiet for the producer. Ridha has been balancing a heavy workload, most notably his involvement in “Nine Inch Noize,” a high-profile collaborative venture alongside industrial legends Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails.
Furthermore, the electronic community recently witnessed a major milestone as Ridha reunited with Skrillex to revive their fan-favorite project, Dog Blood. The duo made a triumphant return to the stage at the Portola Festival, marking their first live performance since 2019. With a packed touring schedule and these massive collaborative projects, Boys Noize continues to solidify his status as a central figure in the global dance music landscape.
