I remember when I briefly maintained this strong belief that Boys Noize (slash Alex Ridha) was severely overhyped. I was never an intense fan of “& Down” and the Feist remix didn’t really do it for me. Upon finally acquiring Oi Oi Oi I had the most drastic change of heart. Masterpiece. So so so so much better than I ever expected throughout my wildest electro-urges.
However, I still had my doubts about Alex being able to steer away from attacking his productions and remixes with that intense paroxysmal glitchiness. When I found out about the existence of this remix I was totally expecting to hear Alex ripping into the smooth Tellier creation with his signature brutal chainsaw.
Anyway, Alex has completely shattered all my expectations and gained my utmost respect and love forever. This is like, the most beautiful remix I’ve heard all year. So much emotion and anxiety distilled into one track. This is even better than the monstrous Oh! (which is still his best original, hands down).
I should also mention that Rolling Stone gave Oi Oi Oi 4.5 stars which confirms most music critics 'rock and roll is dead and electro is taking over the world' theory.
Also this picture makes me feel like I have accomplished absolutely nothing in life.
