An excellent journey with Victor Ruiz showcasing his brilliant track selection and a peak at some of his new productions.
Enjoy
I am really proud to present this 3-tracker by Victor Ruiz on Noir Music.
I think he is one of the best and most flawless techno producers right now and together we have carefully picked three tracks which perfectly showcases his production skills.
I often write how I’ve worked with the artists on my labels to make their tracks reach their best potential.
With Victor I feel everything has been served to me on a silver platter as his productions are already perfectly crafted.
Although Victor changed details right up until last minute, some of these tracks also dates back 2 years, so he has had plenty of time to make everything sit and sound right.
After a nine month break from releasing originals I feel truely honored that Victor has chosen Noir Music as the label for this venture.
Both Victor and I feel these three tracks compliment each other and at the same time showcase his skills to make great, diverse music.
Check the entire release. The music will speak for itself.

After Thomas Schumacher’s succesful “Natural Rhythm” trilogy on Noir Music, the Berlin-based producer now returns with a fresh new release for us. Thomas and I have been very much in sync with what music we like, play and get inspired by the past couple of years, so I was one big smile when I received these new bangers from Mr. Schumacher.
Continuing on from last years trilogy, in 2018 we embark on new adventures starting with this 90s rave inspired “Embody Paradox” release. Both tracks are geniusly crafted and a tribute to warehouse moments from the early 90s with a twist of Thomas’ skillful 2018 freshness.
"Embody” is built around a timeless 303 sequence wrapped in Thomas’ unique synths, soundscapes and relentless beats. On “Paradox” Thomas goes back to oldschool arpeggio influences, his signature string composition and thumping subs.
If you like rave-music; You will love this.
If you like good techno; You will love this.
Thomas Schumachers creative juices are flowing more abundantly than ever.

This is the debut release on Noir Music from Brazilian K.A.L.I.L.
We have been working quite some time to perfect this first release from him on the label and give it the edge needed to stand out.
After tons of road-testing and going back and forth with production ideas I am now happy to have 2 perfect tracks ready from K.A.L.I.L. that really showcase his super solid techno sound and production flair.
Involved (co-produced with Any Mello) is a quite simple trip with Any’s spoken word in center of industrial elements wobling it and out.
This track works really well in the clubs because of its on point minimalism, the high intensity stacatto synths and the catchy vocal line from Any.
It's not easy to do big tracks without big basslines - but that's what K.A.L.I.L. and Any Mello truely achieved with this one.
Release date: May 18th 2018

Watch the 1 hour cut out from Noir's Dj Set at Relevance Festival in Copenhagen on April 14th 2018, recorded by NIM Sound TV.
The set was recorded live at Relevance Fesival 2018 at Pumpehuset in Copenhagen.
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 a great honor to have been selected as Artist Of The Week on Beatport.
Stay tuned to Instagram and Facebook this week to see what we have in store for you...

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.

“Halfway through 2017 I decided to divide my labels into 2 independent and sound defined music platforms
Noir Music has become the full-on techno label with a harder and more edgy sound. NM2 will be the label which explores the deeper and thinner lines between House, Techno and Leftfield.
I am really proud to present this first “DEFINED” series release with productions by former Noir Music artists Olivier Giacomotto, John Monkman, Kiko and Jos & Eli whom all now fits the NM2 imprint and have given me the perfect music to help define the sound of NM2 and the difference between the 2 labels.
It is super exciting to move NM2 into a new era of great releases and a more DEFINED sound.”

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.
