Noisia
NOISIA (who took their name from the word VISION inverted on an upside down VHS tape) are Nik Roos, Thijs de Vlieger and Martijn van Sonderen, hailing from Groningen, The Netherlands. Influenced by an eclectic range of artists, from The Prodigy to James Brown, Miles Davis to Konflict, Tipper to Fatboy Slim, NOISIA make music for DJs and dance-floors that is interesting enough to cross over from the clubs to your MP3 player.
Releasing their first record in 2003 on SLR and releasing on every major drum and bass label in the following years, 2005 saw NOISIA establish their own label, Vision Recordings to put out their drum and bass productions and collaborations and retain creative control of their music. Nik designs almost all of the artwork for the releases on their labels, and the guys love the challenges and rewards that come with running a label. In 2007 they established Division Recordings, a label for electro, house, breaks and dubstep. They then went on to establish Invisible Recordings in 2010, catering for the deeper and more experimental side of drum and bass.
