Boys Noize joins Baauer in the studio for new collaboration
After performing alongside Skrillex on the BNR/OWSLA stage at first day of this year's ill-fated Electric Zoo, Boys Noize went on to make a surprise appearance with A-Trak at Labor Day's Fool's Gold Day Off in Brooklyn. Making the most out of his time in New York, Alex Ridha announced via Twitter that he was taking some studio time with Philadelphia-born Baauer. His collaboration with the "Harlem Shake" producer comes as little surprise as he continues to evolve his trademark style.
