Ben Morris: a name that echoes with reverence in the pulsating heart of Australia's vibrant electronic music scene. Based in Sydney, Morris has built an illustrious career as a DJ, Producer, and Radio Host, contributing significantly to the sonic landscape for over three decades. His most significant achievement to date is the establishment of Motive Records, a pioneering Australian record label that has become a beacon for up-and-coming talents in the industry.

As a cornerstone and weekly radio host of Motive Records, Morris has been instrumental in releasing nearly 200 records, amplifying the voices of both seasoned and emerging artists. His talent spotting and artist development acumen, honed during a five-year tenure at Central Station Records, has propelled Motive Records to amass a formidable roster of international and Australian artists. This includes industry luminaries such as Angelo Ferreri, PEZNT, Low Steppa, Matonii, and not forgetting Morris himself.

Motive Records' releases consistently receive widespread acclaim, with tracks regularly illuminating global radio stations and ascending Traxsource and ARIA Club charts. Morris's summer anthem, 'Summer', soared to #4 on the ARIA Club Chart and the Traxsource House chart. Prestigious labels like Vicious Recordings, One Love, and Tinted Records have also recognised his production prowess.

Morris's DJing mastery has ignited dance floors across premier clubs, elite venues, and renowned festivals spanning Australia, Asia, Europe, and the party island of Ibiza for over two decades. His crowning performances include the finale for Boiler Room at the Big Day Out tour, appearances at both Sensation White events in Melbourne, the Future Music Festivals, multiple Summadayze, and Australia's grandest electronic music festival, Stereosonic.

His global success has seen him curate four commercially released compilations and perform at esteemed events like Es Vive in Ibiba and South Korea's Club Mass. He has shared stages with global music titans, including David Guetta, Steve Angelo, Deadmau5, Luciano, and Joris Voorn, to name just a few.

Morris's technical finesse, diverse musicality, and uncanny knack for reading a crowd have earned him high-profile residencies. His coveted tenure includes a three-year stint as the host of FBI Radio's Sunset show, a three-year residency at Pacha at Ivy, and a longstanding weekly gig at KINK that spanned over half a decade. He has been the trusted warm-up act for industry heavyweights like Danny Howells, Boys Noize, and Erick Morillo. 

Ben Morris continues to invigorate the electronic music scene through these avenues with his unrelenting passion and dedication.

He’s the techno punk, the unboxable nomad: Berlin DJ, producer and label owner Alex Ridha, better known as BOYS NOIZE, made his DJ debut at the age of 15, taking a teenager´s love of house and techno to a global scale. Accolades have been bestowed by Rolling Stone, who named him one of the "Top 10 DJ's Who Rule The World" and Beatport, who elected him “Best Electronic Act” 3 years in a row. He´s rocked the world's biggest stages, lit up Coachella three times, took Lollapalooza by storm, and headlined festivals and clubs on every continent – from Berlin techno temple Berghain to Fuji Rock in Japan to Justin Vernon’s Eaux Claires Festival in the woods of Wisconsin.

As an artist and producer, Ridha has created a sound and a vision that’s peerless, uncompromising, and enduring – respected in the scene, banging from underground to mainstream, it flies in the face of convention at every turn. He’s remixed Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, David Lynch, Feist and Nine Inch Nails, collaborated with Snoop Dogg, Erol Alkan, and Jarvis Cocker, worked on Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Special” and on the soundtrack for upcoming Oliver Stone’s Snowden, and released group projects with genius pianist Chilly Gonzales (Octave Minds), Skrillex (Dog Blood), and Mr. Oizo (Handbraekes). The list of names alone speak volumes about Ridha’s multifaceted approach.

Ridha is also the heart of Boysnoize Records, the label that he started back in 2005. Founded originally in order to retain his full artistic freedom while releasing his own music under Boys Noize, The Berlin-based anarchist collective —and it’s sub-label, BNR Trax— became a home for multidirectional quality electronic music and is responsible for more than 150 releases incl. Strictly Raw (2015), Out Of The Black (2012), Power (2009), Oi Oi Oi (2007) and Octave Minds (2014).

"BOYS NOIZE makes brilliant music. He doesn´t make a lot of music but when he makes it it´s always CLASS." - Annie Mac (BBC1)

"BOYS NOIZE is the only DJ who can play underground techno for 30,000 people." - 2MANYDJS / Soulwax
