[New Mix] If you heard Noir’s March podcast earlier this year, you definitely remember when he dropped Finnebassen’s bootleg of Aliyah’s “If Your Girl Only Knew.”  The downright sexy and soul penetrating sound of Finnebassen’s productions is sultry, fresh, and addictive.  This Norway native’s music sounds like it can bring out the sex freak in even the shyest of personalities.

I went through a lot of genres and for practice I would let iTunes pick a song and just start jamming along. At 18 I started DJ’ing, and I started to like house music- the shitty kind, not the good kind. Let’s just say I was mislead by radio stations in Norway with no taste.  Anyway, it’s not that easy to get good gigs in Oslo because the scene here is not that big. It was even smaller back then, and I ended up playing for the crowd and not necessarily for me. I grew tired of this and I wanted recognition for my own track selection. This is when I realized…
