Avi Sic Drops Boombox Juice on Municipal Recordings, Extends Rising Club Momentum

Avi Sic pushed “Boombox Juice” straight into utility territory: a 127 BPM cut on Municipal Recordings that brings boombox-era swagger into a club-tech frame without losing the floor. Beatport listed the exclusive release as “Boombox Juice (Extended Mix)” on April 6, 2026 under catalog number MR163-B, while Beatsource carried the main track and extended mix with an April 10 release date.

The record works because it is built like a DJ tool, not a vanity single. Gritty-edged beats hold the base, then snappy synth layers and punchy vocal cuts drive into the first breakdown. From there, risers, fluid vocal motifs and skittering leads keep the pressure climbing before a low-end reset snaps the groove back into motion with more force. That arrangement gives the track tension, space and repeated motion, three things minimal-techno sets can use when a room needs a lift without surrendering to full-on anthem mode.

That said, “Boombox Juice” is not subtle in the way a stripped-back minimal cut is subtle. The vocal work and forward-driving punch lean closer to peak-time club energy than late-night hypnosis, so it plays best as a curveball, not a foundation track. If the room can handle a harder shove, the extended mix should travel well; if the set is already dry and sparse, the record’s bigger gestures may feel oversized.

The release also fits neatly into Avi Sic’s current run. Her previous momentum included the HeyDoc! collaboration “Way 2 High,” her fifth release on HEXAGON, and the independent single “Shake (Like Chris Lake),” which hit No. 3 on Beatport’s Best New Bass House chart and drew early attention from Westend. Beatportal has also tied her recent work to wider industry attention from names such as Martin Garrix and Showtek, reinforcing the sense that her catalog is tightening into a recognizable identity.

That identity comes from a DJ who knows the room. Beatport describes Avi Sic as one of Chicago’s most respected DJs and a full-time career DJ since 2008, while her own site lists her as a Chicago-based DJ, producer and radio host with recent live dates in the city. Municipal Recordings, meanwhile, has been building a sizable platform of its own, moving toward 100 releases, racking up millions of streams and staging event showcases from Ultrasonic Festival to Amsterdam Dance Event. “Boombox Juice” lands as a clean match for that kind of club-minded momentum: built for impact, but tight enough to earn its place.
