Finishing off 2021 with another EP
This release includes tracks written between summer 2020 and fall 2021. Apart from having the
“Noir signature” they are very different pieces of music yet they seem to fit perfectly together.
The 5 tracks represent completely different timelines and emotions from me.
Noise experimentation was a big part of the production process on these tracks. From simple white
noise and rain to static and vinyl crackle. From pleasant analog tape saturation to random digital
glitches.
The meaning of the word Stratum is; a layer of material, naturally or artificially formed. A number of
parallel layers one upon another. The perfect description for this release.
Have a listen and hear if something resonates with you.

We welcome Anna V. to the Noir Music Family
Once in a while, you hear music that just hits you in all the right places and feels like the perfect fit for
your ears and your mind. This 4-tracker by Anna V. was one of those for me. 4 great individual pieces
that together paint the perfect picture.
I have known Anna V. for years and can assure you she is an artist with great depth, talent, and
passion. It shines through from her personality and into her music. To me, that is especially
noticeable on this Noir Music release entitled “Aether”.
I hear all her emotions flowing through the soundscapes and although we are dealing with deep, dark
techno pieces they all have a distinct sense of hope and light deeply integrated. For me, it was love at
first listen and I am proud to release these tracks and welcome Anna V. to the Noir Music family.

New EP dropping from Noir on November 5th. 2021.
“For the past year, I have been deep-diving into synthesis and sound design.
That process made me fall in love with the hypnotic, looped yet constant moving soundscapes all over again. So much so that I went back to the root of sound sources and ended up using a lot of classic synths, sounds, and techniques."
The 4 tracks chosen for this release stand out as a therapeutic experience for me. They are all wrapped in pounding beats but there is something calm almost mediative underneath the surface. Creating these 4 tracks put me in a better state of mind and helped me move forward.”

Noir is back on NM2 with “Shelter”.
Shelter comes in 2 different versions cut from the same soundscapes.
The dusk version is a deep, dark and hypnotic techno journey.
The dawn version is a more uplifting and melodic sunbeam.
“This is a safe place…… There’s no judgement” is the simple and short message on both versions.
We hope you like the sound of “Shelter”.

The release includes a Bandcamp Exclusive Free track "Contemplation".

Once in a while I hear music from a new talent which I feel is consistently great and at a high production-level. Allan Feytor is one of those producers.
Allan has been super creative in 2020 and together we handpicked 4 tracks which complimented each other and felt sounded for Noir Music.
Allan then perfected every little detail until we both felt all tracks were at their best.
The result is this fantastic debut on Noir Music entitled “Orbit”.

NOIR: "I'M IN A CREATIVE PERIOD AND IT SEEMS TO LAST"
We talked to Noir about the release of the new EP, and he revealed to us what the story is behind it all.

Pneuma was born during the lockdown.
I felt something unfamiliar inside of me was screaming to get out.
It made me feel claustrophobic to suppress and keep it on hold. So I allowed the music to take the first step and I took the next. It almost felt like the tracks were writing themselves and I was just there to record. But obviously it comes from a place inside my soul.
Pneuma 1 came to life first. Those broken beats flew right out of me and the dark atmosphere followed on top.
On the journey Pneuma 2 and 3 started breathing as well and eventually I created and finished all three versions at the same time.
These are some dark, aggressive pieces but if you listen carefully you hear hope and optimism between the beats.

Listen Now: https://fanlink.to/Stimulateur_V1
I have had the name and idea for this Stimulateur release and series for years but it wasn’t until now I felt the time and music was right. This new series will be my personal playground with no specific concepts and musical genres.
Following my heart and ears. Being present. Being Noir.
These tracks were created from a lot of live sessions and not so much from programming. I felt that gave my “man vs machine” interaction more nerve and real dynamics. V1 is emotional and dark. Gritty and raw.
A true reflection of how I like my music in 2020.
Each track has personal depth for me and feels like the perfect fit for my first edition of the Stimulateur series.

After a couple of great remixes for Noir Music Robert S (PT) delivers his first solo release
on the label and I am proud to present these three amazing originals and two remixes courtesy of Drumcell and The Advent.
Robert and I have been compiling this release over several months and put together what we felt was a really strong 3-tracker. We have been testing the tracks in the clubs around the world making sure we had compiled the perfect release and we are both super happy with the end-result.
On top of that we reached out to Drumcell and The Advent for remixes and they both delivered fantastic takes on the “Exoplanets” track.

2 artists, 2 tracks, 2 remixers.
I am very proud to present this “DUAL” release from artists A_GIM and Alex Mine who both deliver some hard hitting peak time stompers for the dance-floors around the globe.
And I am equally proud to have the 2 remixers I admire Yan Cook and Moteka onboard for the more “underground” remixes of the tracks.
I honestly love all versions. The involved artists really delievered some special treats for Noir Music and I am so happy with the end results for this release.
People who have attended my gigs the past 5-6 months have heard these tracks out loud. Now it’s time to unleash the goodness to the world.
Dual is here.
