I feel very cosmopolitan as I type out this blog post on the train, but it’s not quite what I had in mind when I bought this uber-portable, misleadingly impracticle, but ludicrously trendy laptop. Rather than being rammed between hundreds of sweaty passengers, as I listen to repetitive beats on over-priced headphones and proceed to recycle the same adjectives, I’d envisaged sitting in charming bohemian coffe shops. As it turns out, Stabucks nor Costa Coffee are remotely bohemian and you have to pay an extortionate price per minute (I don’t know where I got my romanticised naivity from, probably some quaint French film).
Anyway, on to Noob, before I get knocked offline again by the rail service. With such slicky 
progressive productions as these, Noob surely aint no newbie, right? But sure enough, hailing from France’s Bordueax, he only burst onto the techno/electro dance scene under a year ago. And, with a number of finely tuned remixes, rapidly garnered attention from the likes of Tiga and Popof. Since he’s seen releases on Tiga’s Turbo and Erol Alkan’s Phantasy Sounds.
Of all the Dance Area remixes (and there’s alot – in reponse to the current remix competition), Noob batters the rest of the contenders with this brilliant driving, techy remix that forces deep, rumbling bass alongside gently patted high hats and those now renowned vocals, echoed and looped. Fantastic stuff:
Dance Area – AA 24/7 (Noob Remix) [pelski highly recommends]
Popof is a producer who’s being causing some real ripples lately with his dancefloor orientated techno tunes. I recently saw Popof smash ‘Chibuku’s Birthday’ in Liverpool with a set that stood out amidst a bill that should have swamped the relatively new artist, including Modeselektor, Benga, Kode 9, Erol and Fake Bloood. And Noob produced a house-infused remix for the B-side of Popof’s techno smash serenity, with some wobbly LFO oscillation and rolling beats. A very neat production indeed:

‘Petit Totocar’, one of three of Noob’s original productions, pushes progressive sounds, with scratchy interjections, humming bass and revved-up build-ups.
Noob – Petit Totocar
His remix of Brodinski’s latest single did the obligatory blog rounds a month or two ago, and it’s more of that tasty brand of whirring, driving tech-house sounds. His remix of Jesper Dahlback womps, squirms and squelches all over the place to a deep, thunping momentum. Keep your eyes on this noobie:
Brodinski – Oblivion (Noob Remix)
Jesper Dahlback – Master Circuit (Noob Remix)
