Mayah Alkhateri & Boys Noize Blend Join Forces on Techno Cut ‘Ycore’

On their latest collaborative release ‘Ycore’, German-Iraqi producer Boys Noize (Alex Ridha) and Mayah Alkhateri of Kiss Facility team up for a dreamy fusion of Alkhateri’s forlorn lyricism and Ridha’s driving production. The track arrives as part of Ridha’s seventh studio album, '7LLVSION', a 12-track LP that expands his signature electronic toolkit across coldwave, EBM, and unexpected cross-genre features.

The track sees Ridha and Alkhateri meeting between their respective worlds, pairing lush melodic sensibilities and emotive weight with a heavy electronic framework.

Oscillating between intimate alternative songcraft and high-octane club sonics, the track builds around an indie-driven structure. In the verses, lush guitar chords and Alkhateri’s ethereal delivery establish a melancholic, reflective atmosphere. That indie sensitivity collides directly with peak-hour techno energy in the chorus, unleashing a heavy, distorted bassline and a pulsing rhythm that wraps her vocal hooks in layers of aggressive synth work.

The single arrives alongside an official music video directed by Enantios Dromos, shot with a retro aesthetic that mirrors the song's tension. Framed directly to camera, Alkhateri’s moody, grounded performance provides a quiet visual anchor against the track’s driving energy.
