N: “The most important thing is to pick your elements. What’s your advice for creating a huge sound both for individual elements and for the mix as a whole? PB: You’re known for creating a ‘wall of sound’ in your productions. Besides that, we love Steve Duda’s Serum VST, the Melda and Valhalla plug-ins and all the upgrades that were done to all the plugs we were already familiar with like NI Komplete, everything iZotope and everything Fabfilter.” Also, the fact that they were built with the ATC 110 speakers in mind, which makes the monitoring very accurate.

The biggest change being the ridiculously more professional rooms we call our studios. N: “Compared to what we used on ‘Split the Atom’, there were quite a few new things that made an impact.

PB: As you upgraded your studio over the six years, were there any new software or hardware bits that ended up making a big impact on the record? After the initial idea stage was over and we got to the real decision making part, we tried to be in the same room working on all the tracks.” We kept a Google Doc containing notes on progress and comments to one another.

After all of these we thought the time was right to do another multi genre Noisia studio album.” N: Martijn van Sonderen: “We didn’t! We’ve released a collaborative album with Foreign Beggars as I Am Legion in 2013, an eight-track EP called ‘Purpose EP’ in 2014 and another collab EP called ‘Dead Limit’, with New Zealand’s The Upbeats last year. PB: Outer Edges is your first album in six years – why did you spend so long working on this album? Point Blank was fortunate enough to sit down and talk to the trio about their production process just before the release of their latest album ‘Outer Edges’. Known for their attention to detail, their sound is a unique combination of detailed programming and layering, centered around powerful drums and drops.

Since they formed in 2003 they’ve released on Skrillex’s OWSLA, deadmau5’s Mau5trap and Jay-Z’s Rocnation as well as soundtracking and producing across many other projects. Their unique approach to sound design and use of breakbeat styles are hallmarks of their signature sound. Best known for their innovative approach to drum & bass, Noisia have been one of the most respected artists in the genre by both EDM fans and producers alike.
