Silicon/tomahawk was released in august 2003, and after that things gradually started rolling. The flip of that was "silicon" written in the hangover-days after mayhem's short but fruitful stay. 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 tune that was going to be the first released noisia tune "tomahawk" by noisia and mayhem on paul reset's "nerve" imprint. 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 get the tunes to sound better. Soon after their first confrontation with drum 'n bass, they started digging into it, and gradually making music just for fun evolved into a serious obsession to make good dnb.Īfter a few fruitful collaborations with Martijn, who had been in music (hiphop production/classical piano) for quite a while before he hooked up with Nik and Thijs, Martijn was added to the noisia team.Īfter a while the internet was discovered as a great way to acquire knowledge and to get feedback on productions.
