How are you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Hello guys, thanks for having me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>What has it been like getting back to partying and DJing again after the pandemic?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As we speak I still haven\u2019t played or been in a club yet. The first upcoming gigs are starting now to line up and I\u2019m beyond excited for it. I have no idea how it will feel to do it all over again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>How much has the last year affected the music you have made, the style and sound of it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">I think everything changed. And I think that I would be terrified by the idea of not being affected by something so new for all of us. For the first time I made music without a dance floor in mind. It was like opening Pandora\u2019s box and not knowing what I would eventually find.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>What are some of the key bits of music making gear in your current set up?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">I recently got a Prophet Rev 2 and it completely changed my workflow. I never had such a good sounding machine. I\u2019m totally in Love<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Tell us about your new EP &#8216;The Midnight Zone\u2019. What was the inspiration behind it? And how come you wanted it to be on your own imprint?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As we are approaching what seems to be a slow return to club life, I felt it was the perfect moment to release tracks that I used to play in my djsets right before the pandemic hit. I wanted to let go of those memories, and for me to do a record it\u2019s the best way. The second the music is out, an intimate attachment to the music is gone. So in a way, this might be my most personal ep I ever released. And having it as the 10th release of Panickpanick just felt a nice way to celebrate the label birthday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spotify Embed: The Midnight Zone\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0XNqqqkLMFbQnEdGJKk8SG?si=d1NA0dDFQKONieOLhC5WBw&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>How do you work, do you have an idea in your head you work towards or do you just experiment and jam and see what happens?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Every time that I started making music thinking \u201c I know what to do\u201d results have been mediocre at best. To know where you are going &#8211; always seems like a big illusion for me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">On the other hand, all my best music started with me falling in love with a sound and have it ditacte me where to go next. I want to feel that I\u2019m not deciding. I want to watch myself make music, as a spectator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>What is your favourite club in the world to play and why?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">So far playing at Stereo\u00a0 has been the best club experience I ever had. I never had so much pleasure behind the decks. The sound of that room is just incredible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>If you had to pick your favourite two tracks to open and close a set what would they be?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">I used to open so many of my sets with \u201cI want to sleep\u201d By dj Koze. The track puts me in the right place, it feels like stretching before a long run.\u00a0 On the other hand, I think it\u2019s just a beautiful joke to start a dj set with a track with such name. But regarding ending tracks, I never plan those. They need to happen in a spontaneous way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>What else have you got coming up\/are you working on?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">At the moment I\u2019m working on the score music for a documentary that will be out next year. I\u2019m also finalizing a new\u00a0 Patagonia album and few more releases. It\u2019s gonna be an exciting year after this long sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can buy Noha&#8217;s latest release <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatport.com\/release\/the-midnight-zone\/3551709\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Noha, welcome to Deep House London!
