Challengers (2024)

[opal]

Wow, that's random. But I jusg checked out the snippets and they sound cool.

[paul_guyet]

I am so fucking sold on this score. Also, that bassline in "Yeah x 10" is ABSOLUTELY from "Feel Good Time".

[thefragile_jake]

Wow, yeah I checked out the samples too and I can't wait for this. This is a direction I would completely love them to go on for a new Nine Inch Nails album. Give me house music/EBM style NIN.

I feel like I'm gonna be bobbing my head a lot while watching this movie ... the only other movie that made me want to dance from the score like this potentially will was Gaspar Noe's CLIMAX.

Based on a clip in one of the Instagram stories on the official Challengers instagram page, sounds like we're getting some singing from Trent on the score!

This link should bring you directly to the particular story, if you have an Instagram account. Until the story expires, anyway.

EDIT: Someone ripped it and posted it on Reddit for all to see and hear!

Great to hear some vocals on these soundtracks every now and then. First time I heard it on Bones and All, I was so shocked but happy too!

[BJM]

Went to Apple Music and iTunes store to check (since this is where Instagram pulls the "Music" for stories from) but nothing there.

https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/add-mus...nstagram-story says:

Instagram offers a selection of tunes from its own library and your favorite music streaming services, like Spotify, SoundCloud, and Shazam.

So those samples could just be from its own library.

Sony posted this teaser for the score today, with a note saying that “new music” is dropping at midnight - does that mean a single ahead of the full score, like when we got A Minute to Breathe ahead of the Before the Flood score? If there are vocal tracks on this score like there seem to be, a single makes sense, and it feels like Sony’s putting particular emphasis on promoting the score itself. Guess we’ll find out tonight either way.

Boys Noize remixes are out already in Australia, not the full OST though.

The track "Compress/Repress" is the one with the vocals that was played on the red carpet and to me it seems that it's actually the remix that was played on the red carpet so I'm curious to hear the original.

it'd be neat to get a sampler like with the dragon tattoo score or the one Mank track that I can't find proof of but swear exists.

Is this a legit upload:



?

Oh wow, there's a whole playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...f1MDKWsI6BEiUE

[Wulgaren]

there are 9 tracks available, it says mixed not remixed which usually is used for dj mixes so i guess it’s like a preview mix of the whole album

and yeah that’s a legit upload

Yup, the soundtrack is out in places where it's already Friday.

this really sounds like tr&ar trying hard to make house music, but it still sounds totally like them trying not like proper house and it’s a weird mesh lol

I also found this playlist for the 30 second previews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...b3FasmDGCNbIaQ

[gorast]

Okay, so, it seems like we have the soundtrack proper, and also this DJ mix of the soundtrack (or selections from it)? Interesting...the date for the [MIXED] version is tomorrow. Wonder if the regular soundtrack will also be out at that point.

The top of the artwork reads MIXED BY BOYS NOIZE, implying these are not the original versions (which will be Trent and Atticuss only, not Boys Noize). I doubt they would give credit to a third party that is just selecting tracks (which I'm sure Trent would do without help...).

[TheBang]

Boys Noize is credited for Production and Remixing in the credits.

Mariqueen is also a credited performer on Yeah x10 and Compress / Repress


Edit: The official announcement on Discord confirms that these are remixes: "Reworked and remixed by producer and DJ Boys Noize"

FLACs available here for "Challengers [MIXED] by Boys Noize": https://ototoy.jp/_/default/p/2073602

Wow, that site is not user-friendly. "Are you sure you want to download this album?" Considering I've just paid €15 for it: yes, absolutely. And then a multi-minute download time for a 200 MB ZIP file. It ain't no Bandcamp...

Ototoy is a Japanese retailer. They're usually region restricted, so it seems this release is not restricted for some reason. It's going to be on all the retailer sites though. You might as well wait for Qobuz in your region. It's already available on Qobuz in everything from UK/EU and eastward. It'll be on Qobuz US in a few hours. Also, it's available in 24/48. You linked the 16-bit version only on Ototoy.

[tricil]

hopefully this’ll introduce more NIN fans to Boys Noize who absolutely slap (check out his 06 Depeche remix)

I’m stoked for this!

Looks like it's on streaming ... about to go find my good pair of headphones.

EDIT: Love the opening track, but I just now caught that this is just the Boys Noize mix. Do we know when the official OST is set to drop at all? I can't seem to find anyone mention that.

The unofficial expectation is that the proper soundtrack will come out on the 26th in tandem with the release of the film.

That said, this mix? It's bangin'. It makes me very interested to hear the full soundtrack to see just how much work Boys Noize did on top of it beyond melding the tracks into a continuous run. Presumably the proper soundtrack has the same groove to it as this mix, maybe just a little more subdued or something. We'll find out soon in any case.

[thefragile_jake]

yeah holy shit this is really good. i hope the actual OST hits just as hard.

[richardp]

Well Compress / Repress just reignited a massive desire for a new HTDA album

[magnolia]

Oooh man I’m loving these
My only complaint is I want more!

I can already tell “I Know” & “Compress / Repress” will get a lot of rotation from me
