It is exactly one year to the day since we released SEVEN7001: “Hold On” by CRYME and we thought there was no better way to celebrate our first anniversary that with a very special release from our label co-founder.
CRYME’s track “London Boy” has been his sleeper-hit since it was released as the B-side of The Backroom EP on Tom Peter’s label “Is Serving…” back in 2023. It was CRYME’s first vinyl release so has always had a very special place in his heart.
The London Boy track became a club favourite being a regular in the sets of several DJ’s Roza Terenzi once told us she had to delete it from her Rekordbox to stop herself from overplaying it in her sets. So when we thought about how to celebrate our anniversary we had the idea of re-releasing London Boy as a remix EP with remixes by some of the DJ’s that loved the track the most.
The result is the specially numbered release SEVEN7000LTD London Boy: The Remixes with the remix treatment given by MCR-T, Roza Terenzi, Jako Jako and, on the digital bonus, our special friend Stef de Haan.
London Boy: The Remixes – Track by Track
This 5-track remix EP features a remastered version of the original alongside fresh interpretations by none other than Ghettotech heavyweight MCR-T, Prog House queen Roza Terenzi, modular wizard JakoJako, and Amsterdam’s legendary Stef de Haan as a digital bonus. The vinyl will be limited to 500 copies.
A1 – CRYME – London Boy (MCR-T Remix)
CRYME’s 808-driven electro, ghetto house hybrid “London Boy” gets the MCR-T treatment, spiced up with a dose of Garage. The Berlin-based artist reshaped the bassline into a gritty reese bass and put in the iconic UK hardcore vocal “your name is not down, you not coming in,” perfectly amplifying the track’s original UK flair.
A2 – CRYME – London Boy (Roza Terenzi Remix)
Roza Terenzi joins the “London Boy” Remix EP with a sleek, modern tech house cut. Flipping the distinct 808 cowbells into heavily processed percussive elements that bounce through the mix while carrying a melodic line. Her remix is packed with her quirky yet precise sound design and kinetic frequencies.
The original vocal phrases are creatively chopped up into fragments and reassembled so they become part of the rhythmic backbone.
B1 – CRYME – London Boy (JakoJako Remix)
JakoJako shows off her genre diversity with a steezy Tech House flip of “London Boy.” The talented Berlin-based live act lays down a solid drum foundation and a bouncing bassline – no frills, just a steady groove built for the dancefloor.
The composition stays laidback, leaving space for a raw synth melody and her reworked, chopped-up vocal layers that add just the right touch of playful silliness to the track.
B2 – CRYME – London Boy (Original Mix)
On the B-side you will find CRYME’s remastered original “London Boy”, first released in 2024 and featuring ANTICALM, a British rapper, vocalist, and songwriter whose “You Don’t Want This” vocal sample takes center stage.
Merging 808-driven Electro and Grime with a touch of Ghetto House, the track reimagines a genre-bending battery of block-party energy in the club setting. With its driving rhythm and unmistakable vocal hook, it remains a powerful tool for DJs and a highlight on any dancefloor.
Digi – CRYME – London Boy (Stef de Haan Remix)
This reinterpretation of “London Boy” comes from longtime SEVEN affiliate Stef de Haan. The Dutch producer delivers a lush, moody and deeply emotional remix, driven by sharp congas and topped off with cute piano tinkling and reversed notes sweeping through the mix.
The arrangement unfolds like a story, gradually rising from a filtered, dull atmosphere into a brighter, more energetic finale. Closing with the isolated “London Boy” vocals, the track leaves DJs the perfect moment to loop and transition seamlessly into the next cut.
