NØR

/nwɑːʁ/spoken noir·black, in French

A record collection with the lights off. Tech house that walks, cinema that lingers, and a face that stays out of the frame. No press shots, no interviews. Just the room, the records and four hours.

Sixty records, three hours fifty-two. It opens in soft focus (The xx, a French film score from 1968), then the drums arrive and don't leave. Guille Placencia and Detlef do the walking. Eric Prydz opens the ceiling. Claptone closes the door.
