After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2007, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

The “Second Chances & New Romances” ep's are quite simply the most popular releases on Noir Music and by now they kinda define their own sound which differs slightly from the other single and ep releases on the label. Tracks like “Larse – So Long”, “Hot Since 82- Let It Ride”, “Danny Daze & Matches – If This”, etc. were born from this series.
Obviously the anticipation for Volume 4 has been enormous and as per usual we took our time compiling it, as we wanted to keep the quality bar at the highest possible level.

So here we go........
Volume 4 includes amazing new tracks from Larse, Kolombo & DeMarzo, Hector Couto + a collaboration between label-boss Noir and good friends Audiojack & Ruede Hagelstein.
But we never forget the new, promising talents so let us introduce you to some amazing music from newcomers Habischman & Plus Me, Finnebassen and Timos.

Another EP in the popular “SC&NR” series is here. As per usual a blend of known artist and fresh new talent to spoil your ears. Dive in and pick your favourites or play them all........

NiCe7 - Space Needle 
The italian duo follow up on their huge "Back To Basics" EP release with another brilliant straight forward and dirty house cut.

Argy - Love & Dance 
This lovely tune that sounds like it was ripped from a 90s underground house record. Its not though, no samples, all new recordings. So if you are into the 90s sound here's a tune that is 100% true to its inspiration.

Dana Bergquist & Peder G 
If you like Larse, Patrick Podage and Finnebassen.... then this one is for you. 
Melancholic, emotional and deep. 

Dale Howard - The Hook 
On the 90s sounding tip but this time with a more uk garage approach to the production and arrangement.  The hook is just irresistable with its funky groove and oldschool vocal lines. 

Tapesh & Dayne S 
Oldschool organ house with infectious vocals to keep you locked in all the way though.
Another slab of 90s inspired house with a great vocal on top.

Emanuel Satie - Lost Control 
This track has the deephouse feel you know from the previous SC&NR EPs but its more housey and would also be playable for the primetime sets. Catchy vocals and lovely bassline and melodies to complete the pleasure.

Bluford Duck 
Extremely groovy, simple and cleverly done. 
Back to basics production with an addictive vibe.

Einmusik - Those Said 
Here's one of those 2nd chances. 
A track by Einmusik that has recieved some amazing reactions in the clubs around the world but it has only been available via his album release on iTunes. Einmusik is a brilliant producer and this track deserves some extra attention.

dOP & PillowTalk - Your Feelin' (Kastis Torrau My Feelin' Re-Do)(Preview Cut)

"Footsteps" is an altogether different beast. The melancholic core is coupled with jazzy overtones and slow ravishing drums. This track wasn't planned for a release but the boys were so enamored with it, they couldn't let it let go. The radio edit is set to rock stations across the globe.

Adriatique (Diynamic) brings the track to dance floor heights with their smart interpretation of "Footsteps". You are immediately immersed into the track by the strong wavelike kicks. This remix may cause paralysis of the mind so use extreme caution while operating heavy machinery ... alcohol may intensify this effect!

Release Date: 05 December 2012

Finnebassen - Footsteps (Adriatique Remix) - Supernature

VINYL EXCLUSIVE : DIGITAL RELEASE TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH

We are delighted to welcome our Londoner friend John Monkman for our first vinyl release. John Monkman delivers some serious quality deep house vibes for his debut release on Kote.. This Ep raises his game with three tracks taking in funky basslines, deep-house vibes and inventive, smooth flowing arrangements. 
John Monkman’s record kicks off with the anthemic “K.I.S.S. M.E. feat. Morgan Mackintosh”. An uncharacteristically uplifting track that combines a freestyle bassline with gated 80’s drum sounds and amazing vocals by Morgan Mackintosh… 
B1 Jessica is a very special track, the descending organ riff, almost an acid house motif gives it an anthemic quality. The “You and Me” vocal offers just as much hook as it needs to be. 
B2 is a late night sleaze for the well-tuned dancefloor or the perfect track to help the crowd find its footing during the opening hour. The entire seven minutes ooze with polished future-house bass and the tracks being championed by top tier talent worldwide. Disco lasers and vocal snippets douse the track with a modern sheen we’ve heard in works from seasoned house vets, but John Monkman concoct his own chart-topping take on his debut.

All Inquiries - Claire @ beesemyermusic.com

John Monkman stands at the forefront of the global electronic music scene. Known for his dynamic performances and cutting-edge studio productions, Monkman has earned a reputation as both a live music pioneer and a master of sound design.

Affiliated with some of the most prestigious labels in electronic music, including Kompakt, Ellum, Beesemyer Music, Siamese, and Anjunadeep, Monkman delivered the spellbinding track Siren for Kompakt and collaborated with Pete Tong on Ecstasis for Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio. His releases, such as the Komplex EP on Anjunadeep and the versatile Tune In Turn On EP for Ellum, highlight his remarkable range. With two Beatport number ones—his remix of Solomon Grey's Twilight and his single Don’t Have to Be Beautiful—Monkman has further cemented his influence on the global electronic music scene.

Equally compelling is Monkman’s remix portfolio. His remix of U Love for Sasha’s LNOE 100th release, supported by Patrice Bäumel and Sasha, showcases his creative versatility. His rework of Space Date by Adam Beyer and Green Velvet for Drumcode demonstrates the respect he commands within the industry. Monkman has also been remixed by Moby. In 2023, he reunited with Pete Tong for an official remix of Duran Duran's Give It Up, marking another standout moment in his career.

On the live stage, Monkman’s impact is undeniable. He has headlined festivals like the UK’s Noisily Festival, brought his live set to the Ozora Festival in Hungary, and performed at the Anjunadeep Festival in Albania. His recent achievements include headlining Rainbow Serpent 2021. The debut of John Monkman: Live at Coachella 2018 with The DoLab was a pivotal moment, revealing his innovative approach to live performance.

The year 2024 has been a defining chapter for Monkman. His latest live show, Pulse, premiered in Paris through a collaboration with Collectif Scale, breaking new ground with its kinetic light art installation. Filmed in a Paris warehouse on July 6th, this show delivers an immersive audiovisual experience that pushes creative boundaries. In the same year, Monkman released Khord on Anjunadeep, followed by three singles—Vader, Roller Vox, and MAYA—on Beesemyer Music.

Continuously evolving as both a performer and a producer, John Monkman remains a driving force in the electronic music landscape, with his innovative studio work and electrifying live shows securing his position as a leading figure in the scene.
