With “Found Out (Retrospective)”, Noir and Richard Davis tap back into the early pulse of electronic music — where instinct and raw emotion led the way.

Musically, “Found Out (Retrospective)” moves in the space between deep house and dub techno, balancing hypnotic rhythm with spacious, atmospheric textures. The vocal presence adds intimacy and narrative depth, while the stripped-back dub aesthetic keeps the focus on mood and movement.

The Retrospective series channels the early spirit of house and techno — when atmosphere, emotion, and raw energy shaped intimate dancefloors and defined the culture from within.

The Reimagined Version of “Around” is here.
You can stream it from your favourite platform HERE

"We honestly never planned to revisit “Around.” With so many incredible versions already out there, it felt complete. But when Defected got in touch and we heard Meduza’s 2025 version it triggered something in us.

I felt inspired to strip the song down to its emotional core, led by piano, and see where that could take us. I played Haze’s vocal over the keys, letting the chords and mood guide a new direction.
With me in Denmark and Haze in Malaysia, we built this version across time zones — I sent him my ideas and he hit me back with constructive criticism. Haze has such a sharp ear, and his feedback was key in shaping the arrangement and balance of this reimagination.

We did not want to replicate what’s already out there. ‘Around Reimagined’ hits different. It’s very intimate, intense and almost cinematic sounding. We created the experience for both headphones and dance floors.
In the end music is a feeling and to us it’s all about getting the message across in a way that connects.
This project has actually reignited our creative spark — and we’re now working on more new music as Noir & Haze."

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.

Check out the new version by Meduza on Defected HERE

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

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.
