DATSIK is hitting the road in 2015 in support of his new EP DOWN 4 MY NINJAS out now via his own imprint Firepower Records. Kicking off January 22 in Boston, DATSIK's Ninja Nation Tour is now set to make additional stops throughout 50 + cities across North America. Newly added Ninja Nation tour dates include stops in Chattanooga, TN, Urbana, IL, Iowa City, IA, Lincoln, NE, Milwaukee, WI, San Diego, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Riverside, CA, Asheville, NC, Raleigh, NC and Murfreesboro, TN.

Themed after DATSIK's obsession with ninjas and all things martial arts, the Ninja Nation Tour is a call to arms for his fans across the continent-whom he calls his Ninja Squad--to experience DATSIK's homage to hip-hop influence on American dubstep. He'll highlight material from his new DOWN 4 MY NINJAS EP that boasts collaborations with hip-hop legends KRS-One and DJ Paul from the GRAMMY-Award winning rap collective Three 6 Mafia as well as Mayor Apes and Walt Grizzly. The tour will also feature the VORTEX 3.0-the third issue of DATSIK's psychedelic stage set specially upgraded for the Ninja Squad experience.

Special guests ETC! ETC!, Kennedy Jones, Trolley Snatcha, Truth, Barely Alive, Bear Grillz, Fox Stevenson and Twine will join DATSIK on select dates throughout the tour. In addition Loudpvck will hit the stage to support on opening night in Boston on January 22, Washington, DC on February 6 and in New York City on January 24.
