Alex Ridha, the Berlin-based producer who performs as Boys Noize, has had an unusually varied year. He's been opening for Nine Inch Nails on the "Peel It Back" tour (hailed as one of the best live shows of 2025), co-produced the Grammy-winning TRON: Ares soundtrack alongside Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and still manages to find time for the underground techno shows that built his reputation in the first place.

Recorded at Waterloo Records in Austin, this interview covers his collaboration with Trent Reznor on Challengers & Tron: Ares, the creation of "Nine Inch Noize" for Coachella 2025, and exclusive crate digging featuring rare vinyl discoveries and influences.

At Seismic Dance Event, I was able to sit down with Sam Wolfe, an artist and producer from Atlanta, for a candid discussion about his steady rise up the techno charts and how his music has been influenced by hard work, good karma, and being at the right place, right time. Sam’s personality lends to big beats with big releases that are infectious when he’s playing and can be easily seen and felt on the dance floor.

We talk about his manifestation mindset and being grateful to play all over the world, his growth from show to show, and one of the most entertaining rapid fire question rounds I’ve ever done.
