Who is Boys Noize, the man capturing global attention?



Born in Hamburg, Germany. Boys Noize, currently 29 years old, has spent more than half his life creating, producing, and DJing electro music. In 2005, he established his own label, "Boysnoize Records," and has released nearly 100 tracks to date.

After gaining fans with remixes born from his vast record collection, he released his first album "Oi Oi Oi" in 2007 and his second album "Power" in 2009. Receiving enthusiastic requests from Kelis, Black Eyed Peas, and Scissor Sisters, he subsequently became active as a producer. In 2010, he produced all tracks for Chilly Gonzales' album "Ivory Tower" for the first time.



His prowess as a remixer is endorsed by major artists such as Daft Punk, David Lynch, N.E.R.D, and The Chemical Brothers. As a DJ, he boasts global popularity and has performed at numerous major music festivals. His project "Handbrake," launched with Erol Alkan and Mr. Oizo, is also drawing attention.

Snoop Dogg from the hip-hop scene makes an urgent appearance



Three years since his last album, "Power." Boys Noize, who has focused on producing, remixing, and managing his label, is finally making his move.

"Completing the new album was really difficult. I'm basically always on tour. But last year, after finishing the production for albums by Chilly Gonzales and others, which had been ongoing for about two years, I finally had time to dedicate to my own work. I had almost forgotten the joy of working in my own studio. It felt really good."

Thus completed is the third album, "Out of the Black." Featuring energetic and raw electro-rock tracks that scream "This is Boys Noize!" such as the first single "XTC" and the opening track "What You Want," the album also includes more melodic tracks that hint at his new direction.



The guest lineup includes Siriusmo, a rising artist praised by Daft Punk and Soulwax, as well as hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg. With the belief of "finding new sounds and overturning the conventions of sound creation in unconventional ways," this work masterfully blends old-school house, acid techno, and even rock, achieving a delicate balance that never leans too far into the underground.

Boys Noize, pushing the forefront of the music scene with overwhelming skill and sensibility. Lend your ear to the new sounds created by an artist who has absorbed all kinds of music.
