BIOGRAPHY
It is impossible to categorize Noema's sound in common genre terms. Without borders, he creates his very own and truly unique blueprint of contemporary clubmusic. His eclectic music selection flows freely between all kinds of electronic music. Between Downtempo and House Music he adds Brazilian tunes, Turkish edits, Disco jams, Balearic rides, Folk-Rock, Pop, Jazz and everything he finds worth sharing. Noema's aim as a DJ is to find the perfect soundtrack for the moment, may it be a dark Berlin basement in winter or a day party at the beach in Mexico. Mostly psychedelic and always soulful, sensual, suprising, rich in percussion and ranging from a good old rave to groovy beach vibes, his sets are always unique and taylor-made for the occasion.
If you never experienced one of his sets, be ready for a symbioses of time, space and music. Dancers repeatedly report about blissfull and trancendential moments on the dancefloor. Nevertheless, new-age fake spirituality is not Noema's thing. He prefers to keep these moments mystic and as pure experiences that have no need to be talked about.
Infamous for his all night long and „infinity dance“ sets, Noema regularly plays up to ten hours and more. The dramaturgy of these sets are legendary. As beeing a truly passionate DJ, once you put him at the decks, he never stops.
On his regular tours, he plays shows in London, Amsterdam, New York, Los Angeles, Tulum, Sao Paulo, Paris, Istanbul, Moscow, Ibiza, Mykonos and many more places all around the world.
While playing guitar since he's six years old, Noema performs since early childhhood and won a grant and several awards in the process. Later on, he acquired a master in classical guitar and music theory and was teaching both subjects in a music school for ten years. His backround in
Theatre and contemporary Dance, the attitude of a classically trained performer, his vast knowledge of music through his profound education in classical music and Jazz aswell as twenty years of intense music digging add up to an artistic integrity that is hard to find these days.
Through his strong affinity to slow grooves and contemporary electronic music from South America he developed the „Cozmico“ concept, which connects the „new“ downbeat scene around artists like Voodoohop, Nicola Cruz and himself to Cosmic and Afro Style of Djs like Daniele Baldelli and Beppe Loda.

The focus of the label lays on all kinds of percussive and psychedelic dancemusic. Since the beginning, the label gained great respect in the scene, by paying close attention to every aspect of their releases and delivering the highest quality of music, sound and artworks.
