Jimmy Edgar, Justice, Chemical Brothers, Chromeo and Audion among others weigh in to add flourishes of their own trademarked styles to Boys Noise’s grinding electro.
"I can’t really say if I’m gonna work on a new album or not because I make music all the time. If it feels like an album, then it probably is."
“I did a remix for Snoop a few years back, but was never sure if he heard it. So I jumped on Snoop’s Twitter feed and asked him. To my surprise he responded immediately and said yes, he heard and loved it and said we should keep it contact.”
It’s always nice to.find a gem of an album from a seemingly endless murky pool of mediocrity, but Out Of The Black is that gem. Efficient, accomplished and danceable.
That’s not to say that Boys Noize doesn’t make good electro music. It may just be that electro has moved on from the sound that he once pioneered.
