The stomp-heavy hand of German electro child Boys Noize gets quite the slap on Tiga’s remix of “Transmission”—seven minutes of pummeling, to be exact. Whether it’s the grittiest flip of the title track on Boys Noize’s remix EP of the same name is up for debate, but even with Mr. Oizo, James Ruskin, and Djedjotronic in the mix, our money’s on this one. Transmission is out on Last Gang Records now.

Stuart Price’s Herculean Euro-dance influence looms large on Scissor Sisters’ latest album’s—Night Work—first single “Invisible Light.” It sounds like Duran Duran booming through the stacks of a damp, pleasure-ridden German disco. Oh, the places it will take you.
