.boysnoize talks his new album and producing for ASAP Rocky, Lady Gaga
"Girl Crush" isn't being mercilessly played to death in every queer club, party and playlist right now is beyond me.), we caught up with the producer to talk about the inspirations, its evolution and that one time Lady Gaga spilled water all over one of his synthesizers.First, there's always the sound. I usually look out for new machines, new technology, new plugins or ways to create new sounds.
She's a great example because she's obviously doing rap and trap and metal and stuff, and I played her this really slow techno industrial beat, and she was feeling it right away. That to me was really refreshing because I've tried this type of collaboration for a few years and it never happens because most of the artists that are known for certain genres keep it in their lane.
Style-wise it started with all very slow industrial sounding ones and then I started to think,"I need a few more fast ones for my set." I did the opposite with the super fast ones. I did"IU" and"Xpress Yourself" and it started to balance out in a nice way. Over that whole period, the idea about plus/ minus, a polarity, started to get more clear. I let the songs breath for a while until I decided to put them out and on an album like this.
But being able to produce a Rocky record is incredible. Again, he'd been coming to Berlin and I was the guy in Berlin. I'm super happy I can do that because, obviously, I've kept it more straightforward in the Boys Noize sound, and I hadn't gone too much out of that niche, even though I've tried to. I'm not making straight techno records, even though when I DJ, I play straight techno.
The next day I sat next to her in the studio, and it was really bizarre but beautiful because she's such a cool human being. She brought out things I would never expect from her, like she asked me if I know Surgeon, and I'm like,"You're talking about Surgeon!" She brought him on tour to open up for her live shows and I didn't know that.
