Dutch drum’n’bass trio NOISIA, consisting of members NIK ROOS, MARTIJN VAN SONDEREN and THIJS DE VLIEGER from Groningen (The Netherlands), really run the gamut of shadowy future tek with a relentless mix of upfront dark drum’n’bass and breaks based electronic music with FABRICLIVE 40. The trio own two record labels, VISION a drum’n’bass imprint which has released their own work as well as Tee Bee, Mayhem and MC Verse; and DIVISION, a more broad label that has seen releases spanning the house, electro and breaks genres.

NOISIA have released music on major drum’n’bass labels as SUBTITLES, MOVING SHADOW, RAM RECORDS, VIRUS RECORDINGS and RENEGADE HARDWARE, as well as collaborating with CAUSE 4 CONCERN, TEEBEE, PHACE and BAD COMPANY UK, and remixing KONFLICT, PENDULUM, THE FREESTYLERS, MATRIX, AMON TOBIN, MOBY and ROBBIE WILLIAMS who asked Noisia to remix his cover of MANU CHAO's “Bongo Bong“ and “Je Ne T'Aime Plus“. They are currently working on their first artist album.

While the renaissance of jungle is filling the dancefloors and stereos the globe over, there is still a more scientific or sinister element burning bright alongside the rewinds of the masses. More jump-up than jungle this deeply shadowy future tek drum’n’bass uses a relentless and complex collection of upfront dark beats and moody soundscapes to encase the ears and get the dancefloor ready to strike. Hence, ‘FabricLive.40‘ includes tracks from not only Noisia owned labels, but all the main players and labels pushing this sound. Labels including VIRUS, QUARANTINE, LIFTED and RAM and artists including BREAK, SPOR, SABRE, THE QUEMISTS and even MOBY who specially commissioned the Dutch trio to remix the first single from his new album!
