Background

According to Boys Noize, he and Trent Reznor had previously worked on a secret project that failed to materialize.[4] In 2024, Reznor asked Ridha to do a remix of the Challengers score, which Reznor had worked on.[4] Ridha turned the music into a continuous dance remix called Challengers [MIXED].[4][2]

Subsequently they collaborated on the TRON: Ares soundtrack, with credits given to Boys Noize for "additional production" and co-production on key tracks like the single As Alive As You Need Me to Be and "Shadow Over Me."[1][2]
