HOBO NOISE

Hobo Noise is a French composer and DJ who pushes the boundaries of electronic music by exploring captivating sonic universes.

 

Since his early productions in 2017, he has stood out for his immersive approach, with tracks that have found their place in audiovisual exhibitions.

 

In 2019, he refined his style by oscillating between trip-hop and dub techno, later exploring a more assertive techno sound with the Genesis and Morphosis EPs. It was also during this period that he began a notable collaboration with Mila Dietrich, particularly on the album Sex is Work, a project addressing the duality between men and women and the mental load of sex workers. Mila Dietrich later remixed this project for Hobo Noise, and in return, he remixed her track Hurt Me Harder, giving it an acid and dark twist to her original production.

 

2020, he released Grieving, an album composed entirely with hardware, blending analog textures with cinematic atmospheres. Three years later, Awake was its natural continuation, sharing the same references and instruments, but for the first time introducing Hobo Noise’s voice, used as an instrument. A year later, Bless, an unapologetic pop project, marked a turning point in his career. This track, once again sung with his own voice, signals the future of a full project based entirely on his voice, which he now uses as an instrument after overcoming the fear and shame of using it. In

 

2024, Acid Scape marked a new step: while purely instrumental, this down-tempo acid EP is an intimate work influenced by his adoptive roots and the musical cultures that shaped him, between Arabic and Brazilian music. Despite this diversity, the acid lines from the 303 maintain coherence, guiding the listener through the three tracks like a common thread.

 

Alongside his work as a producer

 

Hobo Noise has been a recognized DJ for over fifteen years. His musical spectrum is broad: while he is primarily known for his hypnotic techno and hard groove sets, he also excels in blending baile funk, afro-latino, afrobeat, and world music with techno. His DJ performances have been widely recognized and praised, particularly at the Unlimited Festival, where, after ten years of his career, he had the opportunity to perform alongside his favorite artists, such as Paula Temple, Marcel Dettmann, Carl Craig, and Kiddy Smile. Though his career has started small, it is now international—he has performed in France, Germany, Switzerland, Tunisia, Spain, and is already preparing to expand further in 2025-2026, with shows planned in Abidjan, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Tokyo, Lisbon,

and more French cities to conquer.

 

This stage recognition, combined with his musical diversity and energy, makes him an artist to follow closely, always in search of new sonic explorations. But why Hobo Noise?
