Operating out of their ambitious high tech studio complex in Groningen, Noisia creations range from stark experimental soundscapes to precision-engineered club sledgehammers. They can be found across myriad singles, two critically acclaimed artist albums (Split The Atom and Outer Edges), their brutalist hip-hop fusion exploration I Am Legion with Foreign Beggars, and scores such as cult game Devil May Cry and contemporary ballet Sleeping Beauty Dreams. They’ve remixed acts from Pendulum to The Prodigy, their collaborations range from Amon Tobin to KRS-One, and both their DJ sets and their immersive unique Outer Edges A/V performance concept are equally diverse and daring.
Fundamentally, they never sit still. Like their music, performances and ventures in other worlds, Noisia are paradoxically both fine-tuning and broadening their operations, approach and vision. In the years that have followed their successful Outer Edges album, the trio have ploughed through the last part of the decade with a strong sense of immediacy, releasing tracks on a near-monthly basis that are often so fresh they’re just weeks out the studio. Meanwhile their labels have exulted new-gen talent such as Tsuruda, Former, Samba, Signal, Chee and HØST, pitching them alongside more established kindred spirits such as The Upbeats, Mefjus, Posij and many more.
Still questioning musical and technical boundaries, still finding unique ways to articulate themselves in a noisy and devilishly perplexing industry; Noisia remain at the very forefront of electronic music, studio craft and sound design culture. For exclusive and upfront examples of their endeavours and unique glances into their future ahead of anyone else, become a Patron.
Regurgitate
Noisia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As "Regurgitate" by Noisia opens, the listener is assaulted with the repetitive chant of "bassdrop" followed by a guttural roar of the same. This opening sets the tone for the song, which is an intense, high-tempo exploration of the darker side of drum and bass.
Throughout the song's relentless four minutes, Noisia utilizes an array of distorted basslines and frenetic breaks that serve to create an almost overwhelming sense of sonic texture. The lyrics themselves are sparse, appearing only in the opening and closing moments of the track. However, they serve as an effective bridge between the various sonic elements, drawing the listener deeper into the track's abyssal depths.
Taken as a whole, Regurgitate is a raw expression of Noisia's mastery of drum and bass, and their keen ability to weave a complex tapestry of sound that is both disorienting and captivating. It is a track that rewards repeated listens, as each new exploration reveals new layers of depth and complexity.
Line by Line Meaning
Bassdrop!
The start of the song, a warning sign to the listener that loud and intense music is about to start.
Regurgitate, eliminate, create again,
To keep improving and growing, it's necessary to take what we already know and turn it into something new.
Only way to develop and to sustain.
This process of regeneration is essential for the ongoing development of something, whether it's music or another creative pursuit.
One man's trash is the next man's treasure,
What one person may see as useless, another may find valuable or inspiring.
The cycle continuous, no end or measure.
This cycle of creation, destruction, and recreation has no definite endpoint or measurable limit.

It's the holy grail of music production. They are literally mixing with the laws of physics here, very technical and literally the next generation of music.

It was a pleasant surprise to see Regurgitate in 2048, I'm glad to see NOISIA still supports Studio Liverpool with their awesome tracks!
MrBurntYoghurt
It never gets old. I love how the third snare and the two kicks following just punch through more prominently among the side splitting mid and low ends. Really gives the groove and rhythm that powerful snap and bounce.
I hear elements in this track which are only heard once throughout the entire track. Bass on top of bass. When it comes to Noisia and sheer technical brilliance, there is literally no comparison, and you would have thought this was a bad thing since competition drives innovation. But the boundary is consistently pushed with each and every new release. It's un-fucking-believable.
Genius.

I don't know what the hell you just said but I agree.
T-boy
You seem like someone I could sit down and talk to about music for hours and chill, your ear is good as the other guy said, I really like Noisia for his particular flow in transititions, he might use a quick breakbeat or jumpbeat or he'll just change the main sound perfectly like highhat or snare or whatever, always subtle changes that make you go OHHHH

+Soqui Music Not to be dickish about it but I suppose you still have a whole lot to learn about it. Since the technical terms here are pretty damn basic.
