“Boys Noize debuted this music video in the most counterculture way imaginable. As subversive of an artist as Boys Noize is, a brand tie-in with 4chan is even a bold statement for somebody like him to make.” – Magnetic Magazine
On the producer’s fourth studio album, Mayday, Boys Noize confronts the life-invasive topics of surveillance and freedom. Boys Noize, in collaboration with Oliver Stone, references these issues in the official video for “Mayday”. It was fittingly premiered by the frequently discussed message board 4Chan’s 404 error page HERE, and on top of this, it is one of the two first music videos featuring film from the director in 25 years. In addition to new Boys Noize score compositions, “Mayday” is featured in the movie Snowden and its video contains exclusive footage from the film, which hit theaters last friday.
Frequent Boys Noize collaborators LIL INTERNET and Susboy created the music video for the album title track, which combines Snowden film footage with public global surveillance camera footage, and startling NSA facts. In earlier statements, Alex Ridha, AKA Boys Noize said this: “The album title Mayday refers, appropriately, to the international distress signal. “Mayday is my warning signal against blind categorization and conformist synchronization,” says Ridha. “A call for individuality and diversity – and a tribute to outsiders.”
