German-based Boys Noize will release his second album, Power, through Last Gang Records on Oct. 6.

Boys Noize (real name Alex Ridha) has been successfully building a reputation in North America the past few years, and has recently worked with Kelis and the Black Eyed Peas.

Last Gang is the home to Metric, MSTKRFT and Crystal Castles, amongst others, and has high hopes for Boys Noize.

"We are very excited to be working with Boys Noize", says Last Gang president, Lenny Levine. "We've seen such a positive progression in Alex Ridha's style and approach to crafting amazing music that we can't imagine a better artist to add to our diverse roster of international talent."

Boys Noize began DJing at a young age next to big names like Felix Da Housecat and DJ Hell, and has remixed Feist, Snoop Dogg and Depeche Mode. He released his Oi Oi Oi debut in 2006.
