OUT NOW: BOYS NOIZE MIXES TRENT REZNOR AND ATTICUS ROSS’ CHALLENGERS SCORE

Oscar®-winning composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross present Challengers [MIXED], a special mix of music from their upcoming score for Director Luca Guadagnino’s film. Renowned DJ Boys Noize adds his touch to 9 tracks, reworking them into a continuous DJ set. Characterized by driving electronic rhythms and synthwork, the mix culminates with the hypnotic “Compress / Repress,” an original vocal song with lyrics by Guadagnino. Starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist, Challengers hits theaters on Friday, April 26th.

“It’s been a fun challenge to turn this into one fluid experience and take it even further by redesigning the tracks, creating new elements and changing certain parts – especially on ‘Compress / Repress,’ which turns super epic in the end. Working with Trent and Atticus has been a dream come true; they’ve been so great and helpful during the entire process.”  – DJ Boys Noize

“Trent and Atticus are the best — I love and adore them and feel so lucky to be their friends and to be working and creating together with them. My instinct was, in terms of the music to the film, I wanted to make people dance watching the movie. So I said to Trent and Atticus, ‘Why don’t we make music as if it’s a rave concert or house music?’ The actual propulsion of the movie had to come from the score. They ended up making one of the most arresting soundtracks I’ve ever heard.”         – director Luca Guadagnino
