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.
The Tide
Noisia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And not be strong.
What is begun?
And not be changed.
What is begun?
And not be caged.
What is begun?
What is begun?
The lyrics to Noisia's song "The Tide" have a powerful and thought-provoking message. The repetition of the question "What is begun?" creates a sense of urgency and anticipation, as if the answer is of vital importance. The idea behind these lyrics is about the necessity of following through with your actions and commitments with strength and determination. Starting something is one thing, but to truly succeed and make an impact in the world, one must have the courage to be strong, make changes, break free from limitations, and not give up.
The line "And not be caged" is particularly powerful, evoking the image of someone trapped or limited by fear, doubt, or social constructs. The message is clear - start something, but don't let it control you. Take charge of your own destiny and make a difference in the world. The lyrics are delivered with Noisia's signature electronic beats and dramatic soundscapes, adding to the overall impact and emotion of the song.

Flute Jaeger
People played it out. Amazing style tho
Anders Hattne
Is this 'neuro'?! I am so outdated
cun7us
@Flute Jaeger that's true, however the Neuro sound started to become pretty unoriginal in later years. No one made Neuro like Noisia.
