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.

Sia’s forthcom2007’s Dirty South Dance was a defining release for A-Trak a tangible example of the pastiche of his DJ sets. So the second edition, which arrives on May 17, will fall somewhere between a victory lap, a look forward, and another excuse to bug out to expertly chosen rap a cappellas sewn onto expertly chosen club music. For “Trizzy Turnt Up,” that means Roscoe Dash and Soulja Boy livening up Claude VonStroke’s “Vocal Chords”. Somewhere, Girl Talk is crying into his headband.
