Nøir releases The Best of the Remixes and 2024 Tour Dates
The New York City-based Nøir debuted with their Metropolis Records album, Darkly Near, in 2013. Since that time, Nøir has applied its unique brand of sophisticated electronic darkwave to a string of diverse releases backed by select festival and club performances. From the start, Nøir has always been a revolving and evolving collaborative effort that features veteran vocalist Athan Maroulis (Spahn Ranch, Black Tape for a Blue Girl) along with guitarist/producer Erik Gustafson (Adoration Destroyed), vocalist Kai Irina Hahn (The Sedona Effect), cellist Rebekah Feng (The Neuro Farm), vocalist Jamie Parganos, and keyboardists Daniel McCullough (silver walks), Dave Borsky, and David Budet (Teledeath).
The Best of the Remixes is a career compendium of the finest remixes and reinterpretations of Nøir‘s biggest songs with pulsating dance and eclectic mixes by Assemblage 23, Bestial Mouths, Dead Voices on Air, Paradox Obscur, and a brand-new exclusive remix by Flesh Field. The Best of the Remixes was released by Metropolis Records on all digital and streaming platforms. Nøir will soon be on the road doing shows (see below) with genCAB and the Neuro Farm.

About Nøir:
The voice of Athan Maroulis will always be linked to the seminal Los Angeles-based trio Spahn Ranch. Through five diverse albums, highlighted by songs such as “Vortex” and “Heretic’s Fork,” Spahn Ranch served the 1990s Industrial scene with a daring mix of intelligent electronics and Darkwave moods. In the aftermath of Spahn Ranch, Athan returned to his native New York City where he took a near decade-long break from music before joining Black Tape for a Blue Girl for a pair of albums and performances from Austin to Bucharest.
Afterwards, Nøir was formed as a project that would combine both Athan’s Industrial and Gothic past while remaining very much in the electronic present. Nøir debuted with the “My Dear” single in late 2012, followed by the 2013 critically acclaimed album Darkly Near, which Side Line Magazine said, “Nøir probably stands for the most intimate electro project Athan Maroulis has ever been involved with. It all sounds like revealing his deepest inner thoughts transposed into electronic grace and musical poetry.”
Adding members Demetra Songs and Kai Irina Hahn, both on backing vocals and keyboards, Nøir began performing live in New York City, followed by a series of road dates in the US. In 2014, Nøir completed a video for the song “My Dear,” that was followed up by a video for “Timephase,” along with the release of RE:MIT:TENT, featuring remixes by Assemblage 23, Dead Voices On Air, Ludovico Technique, and many others.
