No. 9 on Rolling Stone’s new list, “25 DJs That Rule the Earth,” Boys Noize is about to become the next superstar DJ. Although highly successful and influential in the techno world, his latest collaborations with Snoop Lion and Skrillex, along with his new album tour for Out of the Black, should bring in a wider audience and propel him to the next level. Fresh off the I Love Techno festival and his final dates in Europe, Boys Noize is bringing his live show on tour for the first time ever, where he will play all of his biggest songs while perched atop a Terminator skull, amidst extra lights and lasers. When the last DJ to actually need a crazy live setup decides to perform inside a gigantic skull, you know he has a heavy show planned; expect high intensity from start to finish. – Ed Chapkowski
