An inevitably alluring record, ‘Drift Off’ and its resonant plunge pool of evocative harmonies will enamour from the outset. Driven by breathtaking vocals and pulsating grooves, its fusion of dreamy pads, idyllic arps and rolling synths perpetuate an authentic and refreshing Progressive House blueprint. The single dances a captivating line between melancholy and euphoria, providing a unique blend of reflective listening and danceable musicality.
Formerly one-third of the acclaimed group, Leu Leu Land, Noana sits on a catalogue of notable releases via heavyweight labels Sony Music and Anjunabeats, while his remix contributions include such iconic figures as Giorgio Moroder.
In 2023, Noana unveiled his solo project through which he introduced a captivating style of cinematic and emotionally charged dance music, inspired by his love of movement and big open spaces. With an ever-evolving sound as Noana’s genre bends to match the moods of the seasons, he now delivers a wave of optimism as Spring arrives in the elegant sounding ‘Drift Off’.
Youth Control stands out as a prominent indie dance music label in Finland, serving as a dynamic incubator for emerging talent and a creative haven for established artists such as Roisto, Disco Despair, Per2, and the label’s founders, TJH87 and Terminé.
Beyond its role as a label, Youth Control functions as a publisher and event brand, garnering attention from influential tastemakers like Armand Van Helden, Steve Aoki, and Todd Edwards, as well as earning recognition from esteemed platforms such as BBC Radio 1, Billboard, and Kiss FM.
