The Boomtang Boys are a Canadian dance-remix trio.[1] They are known for both their remix work and pop-dance music.

Their debut album, Greatest Hits Volume One, was released in 1999, and produced the hit "Squeeze Toy" as well as "Pictures", both performed by Kim Esty.

In addition to their own recordings they are known for several remixes, for artists such as Bif Naked, Econoline Crush and Kim Stockwood.
