Noé Solange – Nocturnal Lady
(Spotify)

Inspired by moments of insomnia, ‘Nocturnal Lady’ delves into the realm of downtempo electronica with shades of trip hop. The fast-paced rhythmic backdrop of electronic elements juxtaposed with dreamy harmonies and melancholic lyrics detail the endless struggle into slumber.

It also tries to depict how we as individuals have started to disregard our need for sleep. One could say that in some sense, we have all become nocturnal. We live in a non-stop world, having programmed ourselves never to turn off, to be intolerant to patience and the notion of waiting.

Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Funky Notes:
Soulful-, funky-, jazzy-Instrumentals / Beats / Urban Instrumental-music


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Funky Notes:
I started making beats in 2009/2010 ruffly, before I was DJing for a couple of years and all in all loved Hip-Hop ever since I was about 8 years old. Started releasing music online in approximeately 2011/2012, first Soundcloud and Bandcamp-Releases. Had first Vinyl appearances starting 2014 and released my first EP/Alubum on wax in 2016. 2018 and 2019 two more Albums were following which both have been released digitally as well as on vinyl. I base my music-production around my MPC, a lot of vinyl and synths. I would describe my beats as varrying from raw Boom-Bap Beats to smooth, soulful instrumentals, always with my own touch.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Funky Notes:
Not one in particular, but when I started DJing at the age of 17 and I had many friends over, also to spit on the beats I bought on wax, I thought, "Damn, I want to make these type of beats, how does that even work...!?". It took me at leaset 3 more years to ever produce my first beat but it was still an enlightening moment.


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Funky Notes:
Queen "Somebody to Love"

Dewen – Flowers Kid
(Spotify)

The title" Flowers Kid "is a linear piece that guides us like on a river. There are loops but never repetitions. A little life path that tells the emotions of the child inside us. I like well the idea of ​​going from point to point of a piece without saying anything. Everything is always new and full of generous surprises on this path. - Dewen
