Noisia

by Jason Birchmeier
Noisia is an acclaimed drum'n'bass trio from the Netherlands that occasionally produces other styles as well, including breaks and house. Founded in 2002 in Groningen, the Netherlands, the trio is comprised of producers Martijn van Sonderen, Nik Roos, and Thijs de Vlieger. They made their recording debut in 2003 with the Silicon/Tomahawk 12" release on Nerve Recordings. They proceeded to produce a flurry of releases for drum'n'bass labels including Moving Shadow, Ram Records, Virus Recordings, and Renegade Hardware, among many others. They also founded their own labels: Vision Recordings and Division Recordings. In 2008 they released Fabricive 40, their stylistically diverse entry in the long-running mix album series.
