Boys Noize, aka Alex Ridha, has shared the video for ‘2 Live’, a collaboration with T.E.E.D. that was a standout track found on his 2016 album ‘Mayday’.

The video, directed by LIL INTERNET and SUSBOY, expands upon the emotional lyrics of the track by following a young couple exploring the outskirts of Mexico City. Love takes center stage and there’s a depiction of what happens “when young love is combined with technology, a virtual reality love affair.”

Fresh off his recent North American tour, Boys Noize is still riding the wave of his fourth studio album that received rave reviews. The material features a plenty of noteworthy collaborations, including Benga, Hudson Mohawke and POLIÇA to name a few, but his work with T.E.E.D. is unexpectedly brilliant and drifts away from what many might expect.

Lil Internet touched on what it was like shooting the video in Mexico City: “Shooting there is very difficult, security, the people, nobody likes cameras. Most of the video I had to pretend I was just holding the camera casually and not actually shooting.

"The fact we could shoot in anime malls, illegal steroid markets, and a 2,000 year old pyramid was worth it though. This is by far the most dangerous video I’ve shot though and I’m really proud how well it turned out for being a seriously one-man crew clandestine undertaking."
