Dutch electronic powerhouse Boaz van de Beatz makes his highly anticipated debut on STNS with “Cross Your Mind,” an electrifying single dropping August 15 and featuring the talents of Nicole Millar and Cherry.
Renowned for constantly pushing the boundaries of dance music, Boaz van de Beatz has carved a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking producers in the scene. After a brief release hiatus, the Netherlands native returns in striking fashion, delivering a rave-ready anthem that blends techno-inspired intensity with alt-pop emotion. For this new chapter on STNS, he enlists Canadian-Australian singer Nicole Millar and LA-based artist Cherry for a triple-threat collaboration that defies easy categorization.
“Cross Your Mind” thrives on haunting, emotion-fueled energy. Nicole Millar’s silky falsetto floats across the track, reflecting on the longing of a fleeting romance, while eerie choral harmonies, dissonant synths, and driving piano chords build a relentless sonic landscape. Cherry’s alt-pop and electronic sensibilities round out the production, giving the song an edge that’s as visceral as it is immersive.
Behind the project is Boaz de Jong, better known as Boaz van de Beatz, a prodigal talent who evolved from his hip-hop roots in Roffa into a global electronic trailblazer. His production credits span some of the biggest names in music, from Diplo, Yellow Claw, Major Lazer, and Don Diablo to Riff Raff, LNY TNZ, and The Partysquad. Most recently, he co-wrote BLACKPINK’s global phenomenon “JUMP,” which skyrocketed to more than 70 million streams in under two weeks, topping both the Spotify Global Chart and the Billboard Global Top 100.
Adding to the collaboration’s impact, Nicole Millar continues her streak of high-profile releases, having previously worked with Zeds Dead, Snakehips, Duke & Jones, Golden Features, Jauz, and SLUMBERJACK. Meanwhile, Cherry brings his rising alt-pop/electronic artistry into the fold, further cementing himself as one to watch on the international stage.
With “Cross Your Mind,” Boaz van de Beatz once again proves his ability to reshape the sound of modern dance music while spotlighting rising voices in the global scene.
“Cross Your Mind” by Boaz van de Beatz, Nicole Millar, and Cherry is available now on all platforms via STNS.
