CRYME Expands His Club-Driven Vision With a Genre-Bending Sonic Experience on “London Boy: The Remixes” EP
With London Boy: The Remixes, Berlin-based DJ, producer, and SEVEN label founder CRYME marks a major milestone celebrating the imprint’s first anniversary by revisiting one of his most explosive tracks. Originally released on The Backroom EP in 2024 and featuring UK rapper ANTICALM, London Boy already stood as a fierce hybrid of electro, grime, ghetto house, and pure rave energy. Now, CRYME invites four forward-thinking artists to reinterpret the track, resulting in a five-song EP that stretches the original into new shapes while deepening its UK-club DNA.
The EP opens with MCR-T’s remix, a gritty, bass-heavy rework that pushes the track straight into garage-influenced territory. Known for his ghettotech swagger, MCR-T reshapes the 808 backbone into a throbbing reese bassline and cleverly inserts the iconic UK hardcore vocal tag, “Your name’s not down, you’re not coming in.” The result is a remix that intensifies the original’s UK edge while injecting fresh club firepower.
Roza Terenzi follows with a modern tech-house reconstruction that showcases her signature playful precision. She transforms the recognisable cowbell hits into warped, kinetic percussive textures and chops up ANTICALM’s vocals into rhythmic fragments, transforming them from hooks into instruments. Her remix is sleek, futuristic, and unmistakably her own. On the B-side, Berlin modular artist JakoJako offers a more laid-back yet deeply groovy tech-house version. Centred around a bouncing bassline and a steady drum foundation, her remix feels effortlessly cool. The reworked vocal slices inject a touch of joyful weirdness, giving dancers the perfect pocket to lock into.

The EP also includes a remastered edition of CRYME’s original mix, a powerful reminder of why London Boy earned its place on global dancefloors. The combination of electro-driven rhythms, grime influences, and ANTICALM’s gripping vocal sample delivers a genre-blurring club weapon built for peak-time impact.
As a digital bonus, Stef de Haan contributes a lush, emotional reinterpretation that closes the EP on a cinematic note. His version unfolds like a narrative starting dim, rising into colour, and ending with isolated vocals that DJs can loop into their next track. It’s a dreamy, atmospheric contrast to the EP’s heavier moments.
