Dance Mix is the first remix album by Turkish singer Murat Boz. It was released by Dokuz Sekiz Müzik on 14 August 2012, his only remix album to be published by this company. The album features elements of electronic music, and is Boz's first major work since the 2011 release of his third studio album Aà Âklarñm Büyük Benden. The album was produced by Ahmet ÃÂelenk.
Dance Mix contains remixed versions of songs from Boz's 2009 album à Âans and his 2011 album Aà Âklarñm Büyük Benden. It also include the remixed version of "Yazmñà Âsa Bozmak Olmaz", performed by Boz for Ozan DoÃÂulu's 2011 album 130 Bpm Allegro and originally found in Kenan DoÃÂulu's 1993 album Yaparñm Bilirsin. The album contains nine songs in total. The remixed versions of "ÃÂzledim" and "Aà Âkñn Suçu Yok" were made by Gürsel ÃÂelik, "Hayat ÃÂpücüÃÂü" by Ozan DoÃÂulu and UÃÂur Kirik, "Geri DönÃ¼à  Olsa" by Erdem Kñnay, and "Kalamam Arkadaà Â" by Kñvanch K. and Cihat UÃÂurel.
Two music videos were made for the album, "ÃÂzledim (Gurcell Club Mix)" and "Geri DönÃ¼à  Olsa (Erdem Kñnay Remix)", both of which were directed by Nihat Odabaà Âñ. "Hayat ÃÂpücüÃÂü (Ozinga Mix)" and "Geri DönÃ¼à  Olsa (Erdem Kñnay Remix)" were both nominated for the Best Remix award at the 2013 Turkey Music Awards. The award was eventually given to "Hayat ÃÂpücüÃÂü (Ozinga Mix)".
After releasing his first studio album, Maximum, Boz continued his career with releasing two more albums: à Âans (2009) and Aà Âklarñm Büyük Benden (2011). After releasing a music video for Aà Âklarñm Büyük Bendens lead single, Boz released four more music videos for the songs "Hayat ÃÂpücüÃÂü", "Geri DönÃ¼à  Olsa", "Kalamam Arkadaà Â" and "Bulmaca". The album's last music video, "Soyadñmsñn", was released in May 2012. Out of these songs, "Geri DönÃ¼à  Olsa" and "Kalamam Arkadaà Â", topped Turkey's official music chart. Boz was among the artists whose name appeared on Ozan DoÃÂulu's album, 130 Bpm Allegro, in August 2011, and recorded the song "Yazmñà Âsa Bozmak Olmaz", initially performed by Kenan DoÃÂulu for his 1993 album Yaparñm Bilirsin (1993).
