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.
Noir produces and remixes under different aliases such as:
Noir, Decaff, Black Magik, Premier, The Soul Flava, RNK...
