Perhaps you know the episodes of My Son The DJ, where Jägerland interviews DJ’s and their parents, about how they’ve turned their hobby into a living. Jägerland is back once again and this time with a special episode. No other than mr. Van Bellen himself had the honour to be headlining this episode of My Son The DJ.
Enjoy.

Given that both artists have been pushing the boundaries of dance music in their respective careers to much critical and some commercial (remember Flat Eric?) acclaim, this new venture is a dream collaboration for devout electro-heads. Celebrated for the innovation in his eclectic remixes and heavy production style, Boys Noize has been clearing up awards in recent years – whilst since his initial mainstream exposure in 1999 Mr Oizo has shied away from the spotlight, courting a more niche audience with his experimentation in music and film with the Ed Banger crew.

Together their sound is extremely driven and high-octane as heard in their first track ‘Callgurls’, which premiered at the end of 2011. Here we premiere a mini-mix of their forthcoming EP before the release on Boysnoize Records out 6th February.

We received a mail from D.L.I.D /Dick Laurent Is Dead, which has just released its latest EP “Colour in your hands”. The same-titled track featuring FINK is an ambient/leftfield track, comparable to the likes of Apparat.
