PREMIERE: freq444 - OB565 (no•id)
Whether it be sudden drops, pirated choruses or catchy vocals, contemporary music is informed by a wide array of tricks to keep a listener hooked. Not ‘NOID001’. After individual wanderings in Saint Petersburg and Seoul, Laurens Fraussen and Alexander Coenegrachts found themselves confined in their small Belgian village: out of this sudden pressure, clear-cut, honest deep listening gems were crafted that breathe a gloomy tension arc. The cousin’s respect for IDM oozes through every crack of their ‘Dispersion EP’, fueled by crisp kick & snare interventions.
no•id functions as a spine for progressive, analogue-tinged explorations: they combine raw talent with finesse, facilitating a social experience where like-minded freaks can get together and love sound.
