NoiZemag is a published guide to circuit parties, gay dance events, and festivals. For the first twelve years of its twenty-two years, it was known under its original name Circuit Noize. Noize has been quoted and referenced in mainstream publications such as Out, The New York Times, Genre, and the Chicago Tribune. Original Circuit Noize articles have been used by various local AIDS and gay health organizations for education, safe sex, and harm reduction. In 1998, the documentary film Got 2b There by José Torrealba featured Circuit Noize as an authority within the circuit community.
