 There is a lot going off in the Boiler house this month with his brand new single 'NSFW' released last Friday, his monthly Q&A, details on next month's Streamlined event and the latest tour dates where you can find him playing through December...
The latest Leon Boiler newsletter is always an interesting read for all the latest on this very talented Trance talent and this month is no exception.
Leon Bolier - ‘NSFW’
Given his love for starting his acronym’s with N, S & Fs (see below newcomer!), we figured it has to mean: Not So Frequently… something. We were wrong... so wrong. The intriguing, mysterious Mr Bolier has, after months (alright A month) revealed that ‘NSFW’ actually means ‘Not Suitable For Work’. Standby for next month’s bulletin when he’ll explain (Lost-like) what he means by that! Anyway, enough messing – ‘NSFW’ is out on the 27th of November, through Beatport and with its smoking-hot Push’s remix following on the 15th of December.

Flashforward: QievDance 2009 – Trance Edition
No doubt hoping to enjoy some of its famously warm, temperate December weather (35 degrees in the shade, Pina Coladas on-tap... or so we’ve told him!), Leon is only too delighted to be heading down Ukraine way next month! The International Expo is the venue, Kiev is the city and the shorts, sandals & sunnies have already been backpacked! Well, we’re sure the reception will at least be warm as he turns up to drop trance science at QievDance on the 5th of December! If you’re in the region turn up in your shorts and show your support!
Remix Boxing – The New Sport-Dance Craze
Remixing his way out of the red corner, he’s the 300lb heavyweight challenger from Southern Holland, and right away you can see he has the December title hopes in his eyes. The blows come flying in quick… A swift right hook with his remap of Push’s album title track ‘Global Age’. That’s seen his opponent straight onto the back foot and, oh my god, he’s floored him with a killer reworking of Breakfast’s ‘Air Guitar’! The count has started and the bell been rung – winner!
Keep an eye out next month when we introduce you to the hyper-competitive world of trance DJ weightlifting. Remix Boxing is sponsored by Spruntjuice™ – the new refreshing boysenberry-flavoured carbonated soft drink.
Streamlined: The Event
It’s now little more than a month away… We’re talking, of course about Streamlined – The Event, where Leon and his all-star trance alliance will send off 2009 at Club Poema in Utrecht with a big audio ‘gotcha!’ Aly & Fila, Marcus Schössow, W&W & Misja Helsloot will all be joining him for the knees-up on the 26th of December, which will be broadcast live on Afterhours FM.
Tickets are available now through the Solarize shop. Please note despite recent reports to the contrary (in other publications), those turning up in tinsel and/or santa outfits and brandishing mistletoe will NOT be refused admission.
N.S.F.A.Q. (Not So Frequently Asked Questions)
In our regular L.B. news-mailer feature we want you to ask Leon a… N.S.F.A.Q.! The best 3 inquiries will get answered and each winner will take home some great LB prizes. Go outside-the-box, take Leon away from his comfort zone (wherever that might have been). If you pose an interesting query he’s never been asked before, you’re in with a GREAT shout of getting it answered! Send them over to: info@solarize-agency.com.
Sydney de Caluw: How do you think trance music is going to sound like in 2050?
LB Answers: I think the essence of it has always has been: music to bring you into a trance by atmospheric melodies and soundscapes. At the same time music that you can dance to. I think there always will be demand for music like this. Whether the producing techniques might change, even the pigeonholes people put the music in, there always will be music that I refer to as being trancey. The Dutch supersaw trance wave that emerged in 99 is only one small part of it. For me most tracks produced by, for example, Joris Voorn or Pig & Dan are very trancy as well. Atmospheric and hypnotizing. Though many people will say its techno.
Craig Lewis: Who do you think is the best musically and lyrically skilled producer in the world?
LB Answers: I don’t have an out-and-out favourite, though I very much admire Trentemoller’s work.
Mario Gersbach: Did you really drink that window-cleaner solution Marcus (Schossow) told me about?
LB Answers: Yes, he said it was chocolate milk.
Welcome To The BOLIER Room!
In The Bolier Room we go through Leon’s mind and clean out the other side. The subject matter: anything and everything apart from EDM (which we think is pretty well serviced by the rest of the mailer!). This month Leon is back in movie mode...
"One of the more obscure films by Tim Burton, neatly enough about a pretty obscure film maker, Ed Wood is often labelled as the worst movie director ever. When I first saw the movie (Johnny Depp plays the title character here) I thought the scenes they replayed and included in the movie were too bad to be true. I decided to go check for the original cuts on YouTube, and indeed they were just as cack as portrayed in this movie. If you’re up for a rather sad story with some dark humour, Burton’s flick might be a pick!"
Stay in TOUCH with Leon!
Social networking! Where would music be without it? Back in the 90's, that’s where! A decade where mobile phones were carried for the express purpose of calling people you know while walking down windy streets (before they introduced all that new-fangled texting business in 2000!). Anyway those days are gone... thank the Creator! Now you can stay up-to-the-nanosecond date with all of Leon’s info-lightning-bolts through the marvellous digital vessels below.
