With career roots in the hospitality industry as a personal chef & hotel manager, music was a strong force in Hungary-born Norbi Szakács’ life from the time he was a child. He grew up listening primarily to trance then progressive, melodic & deep house and now is also influenced by the breakbeat culture. He always had a keen interest in how to transform one’s thoughts and innermost feelings into a musical form for others to appreciate.

This past year, as many of us sought out new life paths, NorB found the opportunity to explore music production for the first time, for which he discovered an immediate passion. In connecting with established Toronto-based artist & vocalist juSt b, of whom he’s been an avid supporter, the two have come together for an exquisite, dark & brooding collaboration in the form of a debut 3-track EP entitled Different Places, featuring juSt b’s original vocals.

Continuing the musical journey and collaboration with juSt b, NorB reached new milestones in late 2023 with the release of the joint track "At This Moment," remixed by the legendary  Henry Saiz. 
In early 2024, another significant achievement was realized with a track placement on ICONYC Records as part of the "We Are ICONYC" Album.

In the summer of 2023, NorB launched Static Fields, his monthly mix show dedicated to hypnotic and deep techno as its core focus, enriched with elements of progressive and break styles. Known for its distinctive atmosphere and immersive musical journey, Static Fields is now featured on two leading electronic music radio platforms, DI.FM and Afterhours.FM.

These endeavors mark pivotal moments in NorB's evolving career, showcasing their commitment to artistic exploration and collaboration within the electronic music scene.

Swain turned to electronic music in the late nineties. In addition to the house and trance sounds of the era, he was mostly inspired by the attitude of experimental, freestyle authors and DJs, and his open spirit was not left cold by the mystique of Detroit. Moreover, in the end, the latter exerted the greatest influence on the world he had already traveled around as a selector. Above all, it is also its deeper range, shaped by dub with hypnotic techno in the center. After joining the leading workshop of the Hungarian dub techno circles in 2016, as a resident of Technodub Seance he also supported outstanding international representatives of the genre (Doyeq, Marko Fürstenberg, Andre Kronert, Havantepe, YWF, Thor...) with his playing, often alongside his partner DJ Benzon. We can actually enjoy his game in its fullest form at smaller events and at his own Full Moon events. One of the most unique sound travelers on the Budapest scene creates paradise for fans of the epic side of techno with his marathon sets

Swain s'est tourné vers la musique électronique à la fin des années 90. En plus des sons house et trance de l'époque, il s'est surtout inspiré de l'attitude des auteurs et DJ expérimentaux et freestyle, et son esprit ouvert n'a pas été laissé de marbre par le mystique de Détroit. D’ailleurs, c’est finalement ce dernier qui a exercé la plus grande influence sur le monde qu’il avait déjà parcouru en tant que sélectionneur. C'est surtout sa tessiture plus profonde, façonnée par le dub avec une techno hypnotique au centre. Après avoir rejoint l'atelier leader des cercles dub techno hongrois en 2016, en tant que résident du Technodub Seance, il a également soutenu d'éminents représentants internationaux du genre (Doyeq, Marko Fürstenberg, Andre Kronert, Havantepe, YWF, Thor...) avec son jeu , souvent aux côtés de son partenaire DJ Benzon. Nous pouvons réellement profiter de son jeu dans toute sa forme lors de petits événements et lors de ses propres événements Full Moon. L'un des voyageurs sonores les plus uniques de la scène budapestoise crée un paradis pour les fans du côté épique de la techno avec ses sets marathons.

Swain wandte sich Ende der 90er Jahre der elektronischen Musik zu. Neben den House- und Trance-Sounds der Zeit ließ er sich vor allem von der Haltung experimenteller und Freestyle-Autoren und DJs inspirieren, und sein offener Geist blieb auch vom Detroiter Mystiker nicht unberührt. Darüber hinaus war es letztlich letzterer, der den größten Einfluss auf die Welt hatte, die er bereits als Coach bereist hatte. Vor allem ist es seine tiefere Bandbreite, geprägt von Dub mit hypnotischem Techno im Zentrum. Nachdem er 2016 als Resident der Technodub Seance dem führenden Workshop der ungarischen Dub-Techno-Kreise beigetreten war, unterstützte er mit seinem Spiel auch prominente internationale Vertreter des Genres (Doyeq, Marko Fürstenberg, Andre Kronert, Havantepe, YWF, Thor.. .), oft zusammen mit seinem Partner DJ Benzon. Wir können sein Spiel in voller Form bei kleinen Events und bei seinen eigenen Full Moon-Events genießen. Einer der einzigartigsten Klangreisenden der Budapester Szene schafft mit seinen Marathon-Sets ein Paradies für Fans der epischen Seite des Techno.
