Noisia: 'Closer' Album Interview |

Hello Person. Moments before the last ever Noisia Invites, we sat down with (No) Dave to chat about 'Closer' and more related and unrelated things. It was supposed to be a one hour interview, but ended up being over 90 minutes long. Martijn eventually missed his dinner :D

[@beatjuiceworldwide1560]

I have never seen you live. You guys are the best!

[@JeydetaJosen]

I'm a big Noisia fan and I appreciate the new album, but I have to honestly admit that it was on the album Closer that I really understood why Noisia stopped. The interviewer said Closer was his favorite album (which I respect of course) but I think you can also see from Noisia's reactions that it's not. It doesn't come close to the perfect concept, emotion, attention to detail and innovation of Outer Edges. Outer Edges is unmatched in terms of production level to this day. But that's okay, Closer still has a high standard and I'm grateful for the album, but I now understand that all three have different visions for their new music. First Noisia developed itself and then the other artists in the scene. It's time to move on. Noisia has done so much for us and understands that it's time to create something new instead of clinging to something that can no longer develop under these circumstances. If you love something, sometimes you have to let it go. Thank you for all the wonderful tracks that I still love and can emotionally grab me to this day.

[@theorigionaldrew]

I feel like that’s why they released it technically as a compilation and not as an album. I remember the singles trickling in and it really seemed like a focused album was coming, but after years of singles it seems like they couldn’t really commit themselves to finish an album so they just put the singles together.

[@ecosonare]

32:34 Man, Are they talking about Triple Vision founder Marco Gijs aka 'DJ Dreazz'?

[@expectthebow6871]

I appreciate your opinion about outer edges...I found 4 tracks out of it to be so

[@alexdevries8761]

really well said. perfect summary.

[@ewanbristow]

Constant barrier breaking, inspiration and most importantly the source of all the bangers Noisia forever

[@Nyxeme]

Thanks for everything boys! It was quite the ride for us fans. The Noisia discography will live on 🤟

[@MaxoN_Edm]

That’s true…

[@labashnya]

After lot of time just listening to Dave at noisia radio I finally see his face!! Great stuff guys we absolutelly love you!

[@bankal1442]

ahahah same i've been wondering for ages

[@theresarainbowinsideyourmi5515]

Look at the Drum & Bass awards on KZbin he presents it with Jenna G

[@mayraartisa3004]

@@bankal1442 Right? And tbh this is not how I pictured him in my head lol

[@jordanmeliani4621]

And he looks exactly like I imagined him somehow lmao... the DnB viking, big up Dave you look friendly for somehow that listens to nasty tunes 🤣💥👍🏻

[@ForbiddenSocietyRecs]

Thank you guys, also for supporting other artists and labels, you did so much for the scene. Biggest respect for that. Love you

[@LawrenceAaronLuther]

wow what a great way to wrap up a career. in high school I watched so many VH1 behind the music episodes that I thought every group gets addicted to heroin and hates each other at the end.

[@John_Smith2302]

The most seminal D&B producers, ever.

[@undeaddutch]

Nice extra meaning to the album title as to what Thijs said. Cant wait to check this out!

[@jackthehumanofficial]

i cant express enough how much of an inspiration noisia has been to my music. thank you for everything noisia.

[@infinitedurr]

Nice to see Dave's face after listening to Vision radio every week for so long :)

[@guyloren]

Thank you,guys.I knew something amazing was coming when I first bought The Tide/Concussion,& all this time later it still cannot be stopped,cannot be changed.THANK YOU.🙏🏻

[@P1I2E3R4R5E6B]

Thanks for everything, you guys have no idea how much impact your music has had on my life, basically shaped it, and in the best way possible. I'm forever grateful

[@andreasa5552]

Thank you for all the years of incredible music. Your tunes have shaped my own music in such huge ways and I'll forever be grateful for it.

[@mattgavv]

Because of Noisia I love DnB!!! ❤

[@CykotiK23]

same

[@xamuelk]

Same

[@jordanmeliani4621]

Spor brought me to DnB but in the meantime I discovered him as Feed Me prior, and that because of mau5trap label... which also introduced me to NOISIA around the same period... so I guess I technically discovered DnB thanks to NOISIA and Spor.

[@P1I2E3R4R5E6B]

Same here mate

[@mattgavv]

@@jordanmeliani4621 the qemists - stompbox (spor remix) one of my 1st fav DnB tunes! But my fav and one with pushed me to DnB was Moby - Alice (Noisia Remix)

[@seekraze]

An end of a chapter in the world of music. Much respect for ending with such a grace and leaving a huge body of work, that will never cease to inspire. Good luck to all of you in your future pathways. 🙏❤

[@TashaBaxter]

Vanishing point though 🥹 good memories packed into this 🖤

[@johngarratt1764]

Dave's such a good interviewer, easy to forget that his knowledge spans various sub-genres of d&b and beyond. Great interview 👍

[@YuleNevano]

All the sounds n chops n emotion n atmosphere Thankyou noisia

[@delt-as_luk]

thank you for this interview too! i love it! i love to hear all of you speaking as Noisia one last time! Thank you for that last hard work you made together to give us CLOSER! I heard all of your new projects in May, i would like those projects to be more recognised too, Body Ocean, Thys, Sleepnet, Zonderling. I love how we can still hear some of the signs/sounds of Noisia there in some tracks. I love when you collab, because it's not exactly Noisia, but instead we have something more, something new, we need more collabs between you without the needing of sounding like Noisia when you collab, next song --> Sleepnet ft. Zonderling - Syht😅

[@TheSonicTooth]

I think Sleepnet and Thys are a much more likely collaboration though :D Zonderling is a lot more pop-oriented.

[@MaxoN_Edm]

Thanks for the interview. I’m a big fan of you guys, such a crazy experience listening your music. Have a lot of friends who like dnb and neurofunk. Thanks for supporting Neuropunk records. We’ll miss you guys!!!

[@tracksremastered7796]

Huge fan of Noisia, I am 32 been listening since I was 17 (Cannonball), then 'The Tide/Concussion', 'Stigma', then 'Split the Atom' followed by 'Outer Edges', 'Purpose' with 'Running Blind' as the benchmark tune for most electronic music (until this day), in terms of creativity and loudness its objectively the greatest track I have heard. Closer is the closing album, but it doesn't touch some of the earlier works. This is a sombre statement, I am sad its at an end... Long live Noisia! BTW the Billian remix of Stigma is brilliant, so glad that happened, epic tune.

[@FinalfixMusic]

Thank you for all the great music you made together.

[@naota3k]

First time I saw Noisia live was in Miami, at Ultra Music Festival 2009. Martijn played an amazing set. It's been a wild ride boys.

[@aededmusic]

what an intimate and vulnerable interview!

[@xydsrajlooto.8879]

The Best 👌

[@midnightcow]

YES DAVE! Superb guys, much love.

[@buttaz95]

Gunna miss you guys ❤️

[@IWitnessDnB]

Mooie Osdorp Posse pull :) doet me denken aan hun album met de dode vlieg op, ages ago.

[@sirfizz6518]

I discovered them by seeing them live from right next to the booth. Blew my mind. Summer 2011.

[@deivinka182]

Love you guys forever!

[@louisp187]

The first noisia tune I ever heard was moonway renegade..... Blew my mind, was the most clever dnb I had heard at that time and was/is on another level. Massive fan ever since..... Infact in the last 20 years the only album I paid money for was noisia split the atom...... Says a lot :) wanted to support them.... :)

[@jordanmeliani4621]

Jotun, you’ve killed my beloved instructor and adopted his technique... and now you’re going to die!

[@enzozeb]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. No would be upset if there was a show here and there in the future. Well take what we can get :)

[@dombagotheat]

I'm very very ready for this

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

No matter what, Noisia has infinite respekt. How they've held together the scene is unparalleled. The glue that kept things alive even in unchanging times which would stale other genres, Noisia is a name which holds light. The torch. The way... I had no idea there was stress. I could see this could happen in any situation where there are expectations. Fuk expectations. fuk commitments. Just do art. Make no excuses. Just be real. luv nd respekt.

[@JAAMAQZI]

GOD OF DNB

[@CosminPerisan]

I've always wondered if you guys have a specific role in the Noisia project or everybody is doing a little bit of everything??

[@wolfgangrecordings]

inside the machine, molten beats & wormhole were also part of my first exposure to d&b. still some of my favourite albums

[@akashsolanki8662]

Love from India🇮🇳

[@akuro2685]

That Mefjus track with InsideInfo and the Upbeats on Virus is Footpath!!! Absolute BANGER

YES. Prolly one of my fave neuro tracks ever

thx noisy boys

[@juanglist]

BROOO came back to Mexico with Ritesh!! wow would be amazing a Tulum Show what a great interview

[@BlackAera]

It's funny how they mention the IMANU collaboration as one of the oldest tracks with a really shitty drop. They polished the fuck out of that track. Shift is one of my favorite tunes from Closer.

[@jordanmeliani4621]

It’s really old, I think it first emerged around 2015. And I gotta say for the drop it’s not shitty at all, but probably deja vu for them, I feel like it captures a lot of energy and the bass modulation releases lot of agressivity which I tend to look forward to from a neuro track as dark as this one. But I gotta say for those like me that waited for it since 2016, this is indeed shittier than it used to be, the latest to date and my favourite version of it is the one from Printworks london you can hear via a amateur recording of the live show. I really don’t and will never understand why they tweaked it onto something that feels less inspired to me. They gotta be trolling on the shitty part because they were rolling hard with it on the IMANU instagram video during Printworks

[@vroteg]

Not agree. I would love to see as a farewell album with lots of unfinished sketches with Noisia polish and some finished sketches. The last album seems like a lazy finish. No hate. It just feels this way. Doesn't feel like a final special. Need to continue...
