Midnight Monastery Recordings is a project that Billy Noorlag started with the mission to release music that heavily incorporates synthesizers mixed with four on the floor driving drum patterns. Since its inception in 2018, Midnight Monastery Recordings has released Billy’s first mini album, which is a seven-track album with a blend of deep house and progressive. In 2019 the label released Billy’s first EP, New Perspective, which is a blend of synth-wave, house, electro house, and hard style. And in 2022 the label released Billy’s second album, All The Vibes, which is a blend of ambient, synth-wave, acid house, and electro house.
Between his organic baselines, shaping segues, and narrative DJ sets, Billy Noorlag’s sound is as diverse as his following. Billy consistently fills bars, lofts, nightclubs, and warehouses with an atmosphere of tantalizing, eclectic patterns and pulses – engineering the way electronic music is to be heard and understood. Inspired by the ambient sounds of his early influences, particularly Plastikman (Richie Hawtin), and the dizzying nightlife he is engulfed in, the innovative musical experience Billy creates reflects the best of what electronic music has to offer.
Billy heard authentic electronic music for the first time at a underground warehouse party at the tender age of 15. He fell in love with the sound and the energy that resonated from the speakers that night and purchased his first set of turn tables shortly after. A couple years later he began DJing regularly at some of the best clubs in Los Angeles, and it was also around this time that he started producing his own music that you might have heard in his DJ sets.
