b"Coaxing nuanced expression from analog machines and digital possibilities alike, @noahpred has been envisioning the future through electronic music for over twenty years \\u2013 yet the story of this accomplished producer and DJ continues to unfold. Reinterpreting his signature production style anew, 2018 saw the release of two full-lengths charting the territories between deep space experimentalism, intricate polyrhythms, delicate soundscapes, evocative acid, and hypnotic dub frontiers. The breadth of Noah\\u2019s sonic worldview was espoused until September 2019 through his monthly two-hour podcast, IFS. Each episode reveals the depth of his technical approach, the sensibility of a seasoned selector, and the pedigree of a late-night veteran.\\nA two-time Juno Award nominee in his native Canada, a music educator and technologist in his adopted hometown Berlin, an alum of Cynosure, Highgrade, and Trapez LTD, and founder of the acclaimed Thoughtless imprint, Noah is also a DJ whose past residencies at Stereobar in Montreal and Fukhouse in Toronto helped lay the framework for his dynamic yet fluid sets that continue to resonate with diverse communities. A notable newcomer in Canada\\u2019s underground scene of the early 2000s, Pred\\u2019s distinctive production style earned him a place among his peers with releases on @weareimmigrant, Intrinsic Design, and Consigned Recordings. Driven by the fuel that fired up Thoughtless, Noah relocated to Berlin in 2011, where his creative horizons continued to expand via collaborative projects with @tomclark as @alseimage on @get-physical-music, with @pablo-bolivar on @apparel-music and @biotop-label, with @timxavier on Alphahouse, and with @deepchild as @concubine-berlin.\\nBetween his recent solo EPs for @traumraum-kollektiv, @computemusic, and Biotop, his vivid sets of techno, house, and electro, the advanced sound design of his haunting atmospherics, and the ever-evolving scope of his technical capabilities, Noah\\u2019s commitment to electronic innovation remains as strong as ever \\u2013 and in the face of global uncertainty, his utopian sonic narratives have never felt so vital. With a variety of custom generative sequencers\\nconstructed for his Manifest Audio sound design outlet due for release in 2020, Noah turns his focus toward the possibilities of sound installation and multimedia work.\\nStay Rave with #R13!\\n\\nTracklist:\\n01 Tuomo Vaananen - Enclose - Ljudverket\\n02 Unspecial - Everything Melts Into Air - Milligramme\\n03 B.
