NOIR - ARTIST POICTURE  

Noir

 

 

At a very young age Noir developed an everlasting love for music. He was only 6-7 years

of age when he started rocking around to electronic music like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode etc.

His interest in this newly discovered music genre got even bigger when house and techno

came around. He was very much into the acid/house wave that hit UK in late 80's despite

his young age. In 1996 dj'ing became a natural path to follow, as his no. 1 passion was

music and mostly club music.

 

He got his first residency in a club called Rendez Vous playing everything from Hip Hop, soul,

70's funk to House & techno. After 3-4 years of intense dj'ing he narrowed his set down to playing only House.This brought him another residency and the chance to start up a houseclub “V4” which is now (and has been for the last 4 years) one of the finest and most popular clubs in Denmark. V4 was nominated “Club of The Year” at The Danish Deejay Awards 2003 and

Noir himself was nominated “Upfront Deejay of The Year” at The Danish Deejay Awards 2004.

Noir is now dj'ing all over the world and known for always trying to break new tracks and set

the clubs on fire with his energetic dj sets.

 

His passion for dj'ing and electronic music has led him to start producing himself.

In 1997 the tradegy of his fathers death led to a inheritance, which made it possible

for him to realize his biggest dream; buying the equiptment to begin producing.

He hooked up with a musician and started from the bottom. Shortly after he was signed to Bim Bam Recordings, where he had a few releases. First release ever was “Pondus – Why Waste Your Time” (2000) and first Noir release was “Shine On” (2001) both with Bim Bam Recordings.

In 2002 he left Bim Bam Recordings to concentrate on solo projects and remixes for various Danish artists.

 

In 2003 Noir gave up his daytime-job to concentrate on his dj and producing career.

Same year he signed to Lifted Music. He made a remix of Paul McCartney & The Wings

“Silly Love Songs” and unexpectedly Lifted Music managed to get the remix cleared and approved by Sir Paul McCartney himself and set to be released in 2005.

 

In 2004 Noir signed yet another deal with Montana Entertainment (Morjac) for his alias Decaff coming with various exiting releases in the future.

 

In 2005 Noir got his debut on Toolroom Records with the track MTV.

He got the idea for the track one sunny afternoon walking the streets, when a car past by full speed, playing Dire Straits - Money For Nothing. Noir went home and made the idea for the track in 3-4 hours. Afterwards all parts was re-recorded/re-sung, he added the spoken words which are statements from the internet about MTV – both good and bad.

 

The MTV track is a perfect example of Noirs bubbling creativity and crazy ideas transformed into rocking housemusic

2006 seems to become even more exiting with releases on Toolroom Records, House Session, DTPM, Deeplay Soultec, Montana, Soulmagic Recordings and many more. Some of the tracks include collaborations with the likes of Roland Clark, Kathrine Ellis, Grant Nelson and remixes of Noir tracks by artists like: Ian Carey, Chris Lake, Paul Harris, D. Ramirez, Sex On Monday, Public Domain, Olav Basoski, Tune Brothers, Guy Williams to name a few.
