Unravel

as winter takes me now
of cold and clammy skin
a barren empty womb
as i am born again

it's pulling at my hair
and crawling all within
a gentle beating heart
is swept away by sin

the monster in your head
won't surface again
be still my child
wash away the sin

and i as future kings
walk off the edge
hold me by my name
hold me til the end

Staying

Koda - Staying

‘Silicon’ is the first song we ever released. It came out on Nerve Recordings in 2003. To celebrate our 10 year anniversary and our 1.000.000th follower on Soundcloud(!) today we are giving this song away for free and we’re running a competition where you can win the below prizes. Anyone with an account on noisia.nl is eligible to win :D

Enter the competition here: http://noisia.nl/10

1st PRIZE: Audeze LCD-2 Headphones (€849,-) + 1 x Native Instruments Komplete 9 (€499,-) + 1 x Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 (€229,-) + 1 x Soundcloud Pro Subscription + VSN017 Vinyl and MP3 + VSN017 Poster
2nd & 3rd PRIZE: 1 x Soundcloud Pro Subscription + VSN017 Vinyl and MP3 + VSN017 Poster
4th & 5th PRIZE: VSN017 Vinyl and MP3 + VSN017 Poster

Audeze Headphones: “These headphones don't sound like headphones, they sound like a studio. I trust them as much as I trust the wall mounted ATC's in our studios” - (Nik)
Native Instruments Komplete 9 + Komplete Audio 6: “If i were stranded on a desert island with only one piece of music software it would have to be Komplete” - (Thijs)
Soundcloud Pro Subscription: “This is a very pure platform for musicians. It's well made, and strikes a very nice balance between user friendliness and artist usability” - (Martijn)

We are officially ten years old. Officially, because 2003 was the year of our first release: 'Silicon' on Nerve Recordings. It was written at Nik's parents' house in Donderen, Drenthe. A small village in a rural area (population: 300). Not exactly the typical breeding ground for futuristic drum&bass... We didn't know anyone who was into what we were into, not in Donderen, not at our school (those three odd guys with their headphones on all day listening to that crazy fast computer music), not in Groningen as a whole, and even in Holland there were only a few people pushing that sound that we were after. At that time, vinyl sales had started to decline, and the 'golden era' of dark/ tech/ futuristic d&b (whatever you want to call it) seemed to be over, while we were singularly about that sound. Not the best time and place for us to start you could say.

But being an island of three friends making music wasn't so bad. As a matter of fact they were amazing years. It's strange to think that we were so focused, in between all the hanging out, smoking weed, playing games and catching jokes we actually took a serious life-changing path without fully realizing it. When we decided we needed management in 2006, we hired another friend from high school, Walter - who had no training, just like us. We're pretty sure he didn't fully realise what he would get himself into!

And then there was the Internet. Through things like AOL Instant Messenger, the Dogs on Acid & Drum & Bass Arena forums (shouts to all the crew from back then!) we found a way to connect to a scene that was only beginning to discover the possibilities - and consequences - of being online. This internet world is how we got our music out there. It seems dead obvious now, but it really wasn't back then. We got our first exposure through a website called 'electronicscene.com': our track 'Drifter' was even featured on the homepage. Think Soundcloud but ten years ago (the domain name has since changed but there's still a demo up there from 2002... It's quite embarassing but here you go: artistserver.com/noisia). Anyway one thing led to another, we met dj Mayhem online, he signed us to Shadow-Law Recordings, helped us on our path, introduced us to people, we signed 'Silicon' to Paul Reset's Nerve Recordings, and then came our first real DJ gig abroad in Budapest in January 2004…

And now we are here - ten years of releases under our belt and a million followers on Soundcloud. Over the years we have met many incredible musicians, labels, deejays and industry people that we consider our friends and that have inspired us, helped us and taught us things. But in a way, we are still that island. Our crew has just grown, but we're still out in Groningen, with our own studios, our own management, our own music on our own labels, trying to do things in a way we think is good.

Having said all this retrospective old man shit, it's important to also mention that we don't feel 'arrived' or 'settled' in any way. It feels like we have only just begun. We're aching to write new music (new Noisia album dammit!). From windy and rainy Groningen: Thank you all for your amazing and enduring support over these last ten years. Here's to the future!

Metalheadz kicks off a very exciting 2014 with a new team of producers for the label. 

Firstly introducing Mako and DLR who are already starting work on their forthcoming combined Metalheadz album project, alongside we have the fledgling talents of Villem and the elder statesmen of the scene Ant TC1 who in his own right has had a hand in a fair share of memorable releases and himself heads up Dispatch Recordings and Metalheadz.

META015 is project that shows a great depth in the talents of the foursome, it’s a beauty and the beast affair, fantastically executed in the great tradition of Metalheadz.
Kicking off with ‘Hungry For Atmosphere’ this stepper is a perfect set opener, heartfelt strings and keys give way to contorted mids and FXs, whilst the familiar vocal is processed into something altogether more sinister. The track clocks at just over 7 minutes and this says everything of the tracks ambitions, not pandering to anything but its own journey.
Next to step into the ring is ‘A Certain Flavour’ the opposite but yet perfectly paired track to go with the A side. Beginning with a very cinematic introduction it unravels into a growling bass led stepper with staccato drums before switching into a two-step drum work out, tailor made for dancefloors and DJs alike.

A release that we are very happy to kick 2014 off with, welcome to the new breed!

Mako, DLR & Villem - A Certain Flavour

Break presents Symmetry Sessions vol 1 ; a collection of high quality tracks from some of the top names in the scene.

One of only three people to ever remix a Break track ; the reigns have been effortlessly taken by Calibre for a relick of "They're Wrong". Being the man he is Calibre has blessed Symmetry with two versions of the remix so watch out for the alternate mix in the bonus tracks. Teaming up with DLR one of the scene's hottest technical producers, the mighty "New Design" was born at the end of last year, smashing clubs all over the festive season, a great follow on for fans of their last co-lab "Murmur".

Featuring NC17 & KC 's guaranteed club hurter "SlimeVille" - and a brand new Break track "Wondering Why" this is an essential E.P. to get into your bag for the start of the year. The dub style "Dem Babylon" rounds off the record with a different down tempo flavour from Break showing his dubwise musical skills. 

The A and AA are arriving as a 12" single, with the rest of the Digital E.P. available free to vinyl customers via a drop card download.

Strong support from Bailey, Calyx and Teebee, Friction, Spectrasoul, Bryan G, and many more.


SYMM - 16 B - Break & DLR - New Design

Having already unleashed a considerable amount of collaborative magic with the "Planetary Funk: 22 Light Years" series of remix EPs, Luke Slater has now upped the ante with six full sides' worth of material, all of them injecting the spirit of classic P.A.S. into new sonic organisms. Using motifs from past P.A.S. successes, Luke Slater and his cohorts join here to make something radical and revitalizing: too cohesive for a "compilation album" and with too much autonomy granted to the guest remixers to be a simple "tribute," this new LP is the boldest statement in the series yet. 

KSP's version of "Function 6" gradually builds a cyborg leitmotif from an overdriven martial beat and epileptic machine breakdowns - a fascinating audio case study of perfect discipline disintegrating into something rather unexpected.

"....Another dream-like scene floating in an irregular time signature, this one is set in 10/8. It’s based around a few piano records I recorded on a questionably tuned piano during a writing session in a log cabin in a (magic) forest near Groningen.

This album is an adaptation of the score I wrote for Sleeping Beauty Dreams, a high-tech audiovisual dance performance starring Diana Vishneva and was originally composed for a 32 channel surround sound system.” – Thys
