I’ve heard many bootlegs, mashups and remixes of “Around” over the years. It’s hard to top the amazing Solomun and subb-an remixes that was originally released back int 2011 and nothing hit me like those remixes
did. We briefly considered making a new original version and release of the song when it turned 10 years but it just didnt feel right at the time.

It wasn’t untill I heard Meduza’s take on the song I felt inspired. Their version was such a fresh take on the original that it made me wanna produce a new version of the song too. I think their chords and structure of the song are super cool and it quite simply inspired me to sit down and rethink the song too and make an entirely new version from scratch again.

It’s not an anniversary release (14 years old this year) or any particular clever timing. This time around it just feels right. Sounds right.
So…… Both Haze and I are excited for the new versions coming this year.
More news on this soon

I am finally back under my Alter-ego “RAL7016” with a new techno tune called “Euphoria”.

Here are some press words for the release:
Noir revives his enigmatic alter ego, RAL7016, to deliver Euphoria—a haunting yet captivating deep techno journey. This track is a tribute to life and the power of living in the moment, underscored by evocative spoken vocals that echo the mantra: Love, Life, Live, Now.
With its hypnotic rhythm and melancholic undertones, Euphoria draws listeners into a deep, absorbing soundscape seamlessly blending introspection with an uplifting energy.

I hope you enjoy the music.
- Noir

It is release day of something I originally started working on back in 2022 and then finished this year.

And here are some press words on the release ⬇️

Noir launches 2025 with a fresh take on “In The Night”, marking a year of returning to a sound that sits close to Noir’s heart, blending past influences with fresh creative energy. This journey will see a blend of brand-new tracks, reimagined classics, and remixes of other artists’ work—culminating in Retrospective, a full-length album set for release at the end of the year.

This brand new remix of “Mark Jackus & Marcus Sur ft Golden Parazyth - In The Night” is deeply rooted in Noir’s musical origins, drawing inspiration from the sounds that shaped his teenage years and early DJ career. It pays homage to the music that defined his signature style and set the tone for his DJ sets around the world.

Stay tuned for more as Noir unfolds this exciting chapter of his musical evolution.
