Honnoj: Avant-garde beatmaker of electronic and rap music

A trained musician, honnoj started music at a very young age at the conservatory, playing the guitar. In 2017, he discovered a passion for computer music production. Since then, he has developed a unique universe, hybrid between organic and digital sounds. His music, tinged with an avant-garde and underground aesthetic, is inspired by electronic music, indie rock and hip-hop. This versatility translates into productions that explore hyperpop, supertrap, and drum and bass, while maintaining a recognizable identity.

Exploring the boundaries between electronic music and rap, honnoj forges its own sonic identity. His innovative approach crosses genres, delivering a musical experience that is both bold and distinct. In honor of the release of his debut project, let's dive into the producer's world.

After a first collaboration in April, honnoj and rapper NO DEADLINE return with a conceptual project on the theme of time travel. Their new creation "re:wind" invites listeners to a sound immersion that breaks the codes. With his limitless compositions, honnoj reveals all his potential as a producer.

NO DEADLINE, in mixing and production, infuses the project with its psychedelic rock influences, which we feel as much in the aesthetics as in the creative dynamics. Returning to the past to erase your regrets, this is the starting point of the story that NO DEADLINE tells about honnoj's productions.

In 2022, honnoj launched on YouTube, publishing one instrumental production per day for a year. Today, his channel has more than a million views and has 5,000 subscribers. He worked with artists like Yung Poor Alo on the songs "C'est Complicated", "L'Armor et le Shield", or even Sheng for his single "DIS ME PK? 为什么!" Through its active presence on YouTube and social media, honnoj has built a well-established community within the underground scene.

At the end of 2023, he designed Dystopia drumkit of more than 250 elements, which has been very successful in his community.
