Biography
The members met through the small graffiti community in the school they all attended, with Nik and Thijs making friends in 1998 and soon beginning to make music together. Soon after their first encounter with drum and bass, they started making drum and bass music themselves, and it gradually evolved into a serious obsession with the style.
After a few fruitful collaborations with Martijn, who had been involved in music (hip hop production/classical piano) for quite a while before he hooked up with Nik and Thijs, Martijn was added to the Noisia team.
After a while the Internet was discovered as a great way to acquire musical knowledge and to get feedback on productions. The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks Also, the first Noisia tune that received interest from a real label (Mayhem's Shadow Law Recordings) was found on a production message board, this interest was a big motivation to improve the sound of Noisia's productions. An investment in studio-equipment and a dedication to sound design, mixdown and arrangement got things moving, and February 2003 saw the birth of the recording that was going to be the first released NOISIA tune; "Tomahawk" by Noisia & Mayhem on Paul Reset's Nerve Recordings imprint. Nerve Recordings is a UK based Drum & bass label owned and run by Paul McFadyen (aka Paul Reset) and Troels B-Knudsen (aka Pyro) The flip of that was Silicon, which was written in the hangover-days after Mayhem's short but productive stay. Silicon/tomahawk was released in August 2003, and after that things gradually started rolling.
