Roni Superstar Aussie dance-pop pixie Kylie Minogue is set to celebrate her 2009 Grammy nomination with the release of a remix compilation called Boombox in early January. Named after a previously unreleased Kylie track that features prominently on the disc, the album sports 15 remixes from the past nine years of the international superstar’s canon.

Among the DJs and producers who have contributed to the collection is LA Riots, a West Coast duo that has in recent years earned a reputation thanks to its bouncing sets at club and warehouse parties. LA Riots has also created some landmark remixes for mainstream rock acts including Weezer, Chris Cornell, The Cure and The Verve.

The LA Riots addition to Boombox is actually an Israeli endeavor, which confirms what we’ve al known for some time: that the road to Israeli superstardom (with a reach as far as Oceania) leads through California. LA Riots’ “Boombox” remix features Roni “Superstar” Duani, the bubblegum songstress who has served as a soldier in the IDF, as a TV host, as a star of the stage and as a fashion spokesmodel. With a teen temptress persona and a wardrobe that favors plaid miniskirts, many have compared Superstar to Britney Spears, but the Israeli performer has understandably distanced herself from those comparisons in recent years. While rebranding, Superstar has hunkered down in the studio, hard at work on her third full-length effort, scheduled to hit stores later in 2009.

As the latest Roni “Superstar” Duani singles trickle out towards radio outlets, it’s nice to know that people with profiles as formidable as Kylie Minogue’s are paying attention to our hit parade. Audio for the Kylie-LA Riots-Superstar “Boombox” remix streams here.
