Episode 5: Noir

Noir was a highly influential and active figure in the early 2010s (and beyond). I'm so grateful the Danish artist honoured me with his presence for this latest episode of the 2010s Rave Archives podcast.In an exclusive, and rare, audio interview Noir talks me through some of the pivotal moments during that golden period, reflecting on his experiences pre-2010s before getting right into the nitty gritty. From his now-classic track 'Around' (with Haze) and Solomun's timeless remix, to his label Noir Music, the legendary podcast Noir Recommends and his global touring, Noir was the catalyst behind a lot of great musical moments in the 2010s. He championed a lot of artists who defined the era; Hot Since 82, Larse, Nice7, Finnebassen... and his hard work, creativity and vision were crucial to the evolution of the music scene back then.He also speaks candidly about hitting a low point during the pandemic, logging off social media and experiencing panic attacks with all the madness of global touring catching up with him. A humble, yet successful and very inspiring character, it was a joy to have Noir on the podcast.
