🗣️ Q&A with Noiak 🗣️

⏳ How long have you been collecting and mixing for?
I've been collecting records for the last 13 years and mixing since 2017. I always collected purely for listening, then got the opportunity to use two turntables instead of one and haven't looked back since. What a joy!

🔍 Where do you find your music?
Usually in record stores. I base my digging on the best bargains I can find on any used records and go from there. I find that limitation helps me discover weird and wonderful things, and also aids in maintaining a steady financial pace in an otherwise expensive endeavor.

🎶 Any label/artist/collective recommendations for someone to start digging?
Just depends on what you're into! The best recommendation I can give for anyone looking to collect disco: maybe avoid any song with the word "dance" in the title.

🌟 Is there anyone that you take inspiration from? If so, who and why?
My grandpa was a writer and antiques dealer. He specialized in Armenian history, which was close to his heart, and translated his passion for our culture’s history into his life and living. I like to draw parallels from that outlook by collecting and sharing music that is close to my heart.
