During Noir's Artist Of The Week feature on Beatport, he did a Studio Session for the track Eruption, which was just released on Noir Music.
The session is a quick run-through the production of “Eruption” which was just released on Noir Music. See and hear what he used for the production of this track, how he achieved the sound behind it and how difficult it was to get the final arrangement 100% right.

It’s been more than 2 years since I did an original release on my own label.
It’s been almost a year since I had an original NOIR release.
I wanted some time without releases. Some time to breathe, to think and most importantly time to be creative and to experiment. I have picked 2 productions I felt sounded different to everything else out there.
Eruption was already made in the fall 2017 and I have been road-testing it since ADE17 and changed it quite a lot over the 6 months period from when I thought it was finished to what it actually sounds like now.
I wanted the track to be brutal like a volcano erupting, but at the same time have beautiful and peaceful elements. Hence the breakdown lava sliding into the middle of the track before it all erupts again. I have spent many hours trying to make it sound raw and unpolished.
Disruption is build around a super simple sequence loop I played by hand while jamming with new pluck sounds. As the sequence got layered and washed in effects, it became a quite haunting loop and that led me to add a boys choir to give that feel bigger impact.
This track sounds simpler than Eruption, but it’s actually stacked with layers.
Disruption is meant to hypnotize and make you pay attention to details.

Sometimes things get served on a silver-platter for you and all you have to do is lean back and enjoy the moment. David Granha sent me a bunch of new music and told me he had gone in a new direction that he felt might suit Noir Music perfectly.
And boy was he right…….
I chose 2 of his tracks to road-test and made him perfect the arrangements and elements until we both felt they had reached their full potential. This has resulted in a really special release and those always makes me super proud as an A&R and label-owner.
The Gates can be best described as a big cinematic techno stomper and that huge break not only sounds so amazing on a big system but the reactions….. Wow! Goosebumps everytime.
Resurrection hits the nail of the atmospheric techno with crisp punchy productions I love at the moment. Big pads with just enough edge underneath to give you the substance needed to keep it exciting for many plays/listens.
This might be a new direction for David Granha but it sounds like he’s been producing techno all his life. A true testiment to his production skills. I can’t stop playing these tracks in my sets and hope you end up loving these bits too.
