Housemeister's second LP for Boyznoize, 'Music Is Awesome', delivers a highly energetic fusion of electro, pop, and punk - nothing short of what could be expected from a label that has become a household name for the sound. Injecting equal amounts of distortion and attitude, Housemeister gets down and dirty.

Slamming five-track EP by Manchester's Shadow Dancer for Boysnoize, its title track employing Mr. Oizo style editing for maximum rave-floor impact. The duo's musicality shines through on tracks like 'Parallax' however, which has a nice melodic old-school feel.

Five years after first busting onto the scene Spank Rock return with the Boysnoize-produced 'Energy'. If you expect electro rave though, think again, as this is one surfadelic, Can-sampling funk monster! Remixes by Jan Driver, Win Win and The Glimmers.

Picked!

Showing a sleeker, sassier side to Boysnoize's usual repertoire, piano meister Gonzalez whips out 'Knight Moves', lush piano riffs and smooth disco influences reigning strong. Sublime remixes with a reduced and abstracted DJ Koze version and a deep, tingling old-school rework from Lone. Recommended.
