Recently, Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize announced the rankings of his 'What You Want' remix contest. However, these aren't the only remixes from the latest Boys Noize release 'Out of the Black', as there's already a really cool electro-funk remake by Chromeo and a remix EP for 'Ich R U' under way!
Head here for the full list of 'What You Want' remix contest results. During the competition, some really original perspectives on the electro house track turned out. Listen to a selection of remixes from the contest and another teaser from the upcoming 'Ich R U' EP which is going to feature remixes from Chromeo, Jacques Lu Cont, Jimmy Edgar, Van She and D.I.M. The EP is set to release on 14th January from Boysnoize Records.
First runner up Overkill chopped up the vocals and turned down the tempo to start off his noisy, yet refined take on the track. A notch down on the tempo but a notch up on the buzzsaw!
Another runner up was Wolf Saga who managed to keep the essence regardless of the new electrical layers on top of the track, a notch down on the raw and a notch up on electronica!
There's another remix from the DJ-duo Manics which wasn't featured in the contest, but is worth mentioning nevertheless! This one's actually my favorite this far. It grabs a hold of you with fundamental editing, intricate guitar and cowbell fills, rhythms and quality build-ups. Manics are currently #9200 in The Official Global DJ Rankings. But proper skills in the production room shows that Manics is a DJ-duo to keep your eye on!
Besides the Chromeo remix, there's already the first glimpse of the banging Jacques Lu Cont remix! This one pushes all the right buttons for Annie Mac, as she shouts out that this is 'hands in the air' material!
