TGN: What are you working on with your music at the moment?

BN: I am working on new track with Mr Ozio, Mr Ozio is one of my favourite producers in the world

as well! He did a remix for me last year for one of my album tracks and what I do usually with friends is

that we do swap remixes, so one of the guys does a remix for me and in return I do a remix for them. Mr Ozio said he didn’t need any remixes right now as he hasn’t got any musicout there so instead were doing a track together so that’s what I’m doing at the moment.

 

TGN: You have played a few dates with Tiga, how was that?

BN: It’s always funny, he’s a really cool guy and we get on really well and he is a really good DJ as well. We did two or three dates in one weekend together, it’s always great to hang out with him, he is as I say a really funny guy!

 

TGN: You have played lots of different places around the world is there anywhere yet that you would like to play?

BN: I love to come to the UK, I love to play in London right now as there is a really exciting movement of young people going on. When I play in the clubs I really feel that people are opened minded to hear what is next for me, that’s the idea of being a DJ to show the people what’s next and to show the freshest stuff that no one has heard. So when I come to London I always feel the vibes and it’s great.

 

TGN: What has been one of your highlights of your career?

BN: Oh there are many! For instance my first DJ gig in a proper club was one of my highlights. I was 16 years old and back then I was playing deep house and min house it was the end of the nineties, after that night so many things happened. My first Boys Noize record on Jingo records was a top 3 for me that was big. Then Depeche Mode asked me to release the song Personal Jesus, which was

pretty special. Setting up my own label was always dream for me, I released my first album on my own label. Being able to work with inspiring and talented musicians is what I love, and I was really happy about that and travelling the world you know, it’s just my life.

 

TGN: Have you got any new music coming out?

BN: Yes, we are celebrating the 50th release of my label, Boys Noize Records. For this I’m releasing two new tracks, I just finished them and they are going to be out in September. One is more of a house track, and the other is more heavy. I’m really excited for those two tracks, and I’m working on some other new stuff as well.

 

TGN: And are you playing any clubs or gigs soon?

BN: Yeah I have a big festival coming up called South West Four. I’m really excited about this because we are going to hold a full stage and friends like Switch and A- Track are playing as well, and artists from my label.

 

TGN: So what can we expect from Boys Noize in the future?

BN: I’m still working on a live show which I’ve been planning for a long time because at the festivals there’s never been a live show where I just play all music. I was getting bored and new technology is allowing me to leave out all computers so I go on stage without any computers just with real machines and present the music live. It´s the hardest thing because I’m alone most of the time, with other people you have more arms, but it’s really hard to get my music together live without a computer you know, that would have been easier. I’m working on that and next year you can expect something like that.

 

TGN: Sound’s great!

Catch Boys Noize at SW4 this summer!
