The dynamic Dutch producer/DJ joins forces with Nicole Millar and Cherry for a cutting-edge crowd-pleaser brimming with adrenaline and emotion.
Dutch electronic music dynamo Boaz van de Beatz makes his label debut on the ever-growing STNS catalog on August 15th with “Cross Your Mind,” an exhilarating rave-ready single backed by emerging artists Nicole Millar and Cherry.
Holding himself to the highest standard of innovation, Boaz van de Beatz has remained ahead of the curve of dance music for more than a decade. His desire to break new ground runs rampant across everything he puts his name on, and the seasoned producer is ready to halt on his brief release hiatus with a track that signals towards his desire to continually evolve. For his debut outing on STNS, he’s recruiting the talents of Canadian-Australian indie-pop/dance artist Nicole Millar and LA-based alt-pop/electronic singer and producer Cherry on their triple-pronged collab, “Cross Your Mind.”
Stretching itself into a lane of techno that’s not easily categorized, the genre-defying record is underpinned by Millar’s haunting vocal delivery, with her silky falsetto fawning over a romantic interest; pondering if that special someone ever does the same. The dark, driving groove weaves through eerie choral harmonies, ostinato piano chords, ethereal pads, and piercing, dissonant synths. The result is a soul-stirring concoction capturing an intense infatuation with equal parts emotion and adrenaline.
Netherlands native Boaz van de Beatz is the brainchild of Roffa-based producer Boaz de Jong, a prodigal beatsmith who transformed his early start in hip-hop into an acclaimed career in electronic music. Boaz is currently standing behind one of the biggest dance records in the world right now, as one of the writers of BLACKPINK’s international phenomenon, “JUMP,” which amassed more than 70 million streams in less than two weeks. Topping out at #1 on the Global Spotify chart and Billboard Global Top 100 chart, the viral hit sits alongside a plethora of jaw-dropping productions with heavy-hitters from the likes of Diplo, Yellow Claw, Major Lazer, Don Diablo, Riff Raff, LNY TNZ, and The Partysquad.
Adding to the track’s power, Nicole Millar brings her unmistakable vocal presence and proven track record of high-profile collaborations, having released music with Zeds Dead, Snakehips, Duke & Jones, Golden Features, Jauz, and SLUMBERJACK. On the other hand, LA-based artist Cherry completes the trifecta, contributing his distinct alt-pop and electronic sensibilities to push the song into uncharted territory.
With “Cross Your Mind,” Boaz van de Beatz showcases his ability to merge genres while spotlighting fresh voices on the global electronic stage.
Boaz van de Beatz is a boundary-pushing DJ and producer from the Netherlands, known for his high-energy sets and genre-blending sound that fuses electronic, hip-hop, trap, and global rhythms.

With over 3 billion streams, multiple platinum records, and three Dutch State Awards for Best Producer, Boaz continues to break barriers between the underground and the mainstream. Fresh off the release of BLACKPINK’s “Jump” (co-produced with Diplo), Boaz is bringing his explosive sound back to the forefront, delivering the next wave of club-shaking anthems with global energy and raw attitude.
