Cora Novoa ft Bryte - Gogo Gaga Premiered on FACT Magazine

“Spanish producer and DJ Cora Novoa joins forces with Ghanaian MC Bryte, a propulsive fusion of their energetic styles. Layering restless kicks and blizzards of noise against Bryte’s nimble delivery and irrepressible vibe, Cora Novoa matches the rapper’s vocal levity with bludgeoning weight and atmospheric dept, revealing yet another side to the multi-faceted MC.

The video, directed by Benova Studio, sees the duo bopping around some of Barcelona’s rave institutions, including Razzmatazz, the club wear brand SSSTUFFF headquarters and THEROOM concept store. Capturing a snapshot of Barcelona’s nightlife scene, ‘Gogo Gaga’ is a homage to these shared spaces.

As part of the track’s release, Cora Novoa is launching a competition calling on producers to remix ‘Gogo Gaga’. Those interested in taking part mint a free NFT from Web3 community GUZZU, which will serve as the platform for release of the winning entry, selected by Cora Novoa herself.

‘Gogo Gaga’ is out now, on Seeking The Velvet. You can find Cora Novoa on Instagram and at her website. You can follow Bryte on Instagram.”

Tiga b2b Cora Novoa at Sónar Festival 30th Anniversary

“Whether it's because of the years they've been in the music business, their almost unhealthy obsession with new music, or the amount of demos that pass through their hands, this back-to-back between Canada’s Tiga and Spain’s Cora Novoa might be prove to be one of the most memorable sets at Sónar’s 30th anniversary. In the red corner, Tiga, head of Turbo Recordings and one of the most respected electronic producers and DJs of the last 20 years. And in the blue corner, Cora Novoa, producer, DJ and label owner herself (SEEKING THE VELVET), currently on tour with a new AV live show. She’s also released music on Turbo Recordings, as well as Citizen Records and Hivern Discs. The early hours of the morning will be theirs to do what they like with: house, techno, acid, trance, rave, and even eurodance. A pairing as unpredictable as it is unbeatable.”

Cora Novoa Live @ Fabric London

"Cora is a music composer, DJ and live performer. We have been following her for quite some time now but we’ve been really blown away by her release on Tiga’s Turbo Recording. She’s fierce, groovy, technical and can use vocals in a very unique way. ‍

Moreover, she combines her professional career with other professional facets: as an Ableton Certified Trainer, musical content curator, doing masterclasses, or as a collaborator on the radio show “El Labveriento” in the Spanish public radio 3. After hearing amazing feedback about her live set performance at festivals such as Sonar and Mutek, we are extremely excited to host her debut in the UK with her powerful and distinctive live set."

Mutek Montreal 2022 / New AV Live

“First woman to win Best DJ of the Year in 2017 at Madrid's Vicious Music Awards, Cora Novoa is also one of her country's most creative producers. Born in Galicia, Spain, but having lived in Berlin, Madrid and Barcelona, Novoa developed her creative imagination through classical flute, hip-hop instrumentals and graffiti before finding her way into electronic music. With a university degree in information technology and a delight in the art of audio synthesis, she began working for Ableton as a certified trainer, continuing a relationship forged with the company while working at the microFusa music equipment store.”

First Ableton Educational Tour

This 2022/2023 season she has conducted the first Ableton educational tour in different universities and school centers for students to discover new creative tools with Cora as Ableton Official Trainer.

In this way, they will be able to discover a new world of possibilities as DJs, sound designers, video editors or simply another form of creative expression with Ableton.

Imaginemos un mundo en el que, mediante algún plug-in cerebral, hubiéramos ganado la capacidad de leer código binario de la misma forma que leemos texto. Si fuera así, sabría el lector que los números que encabezan esta nota, no significan otra cosa que “CORA NOVOA”.

E imaginemos ahora también un mundo en el que, mediante otro plug-in (o un upgrade del anterior) pudiéramos leer el sonido, transformarlo a pedazos aislables de información objetiva, y de esta forma, ser capaces de componer música atomizada, rítmica, concisa en sus frases.

Es probable que la artista oresana ya haya alcanzado tal inteligencia sin necesidad de sendos aparatos. Formada en informática, Cora fue explorando la posibilidad creativa, casi lírica, de la máquina, hasta descubrir en la intersección del arte y la computación la pasión que la ha llevado a ser hoy día una de las puntas de lanza de la escena electrónica del país.

Cora cree que pronto los ordenadores competirán con los cerebros humanos en lo que, hasta ahora, ha sido seguramente el aspecto diferencial entre lo humano y lo robótico: el instinto artístico. Si no se está dando ya, pronto ocurrirá que las máquinas dejen de ser un mero instrumento, para pasar a ser ya autor, un ente con capacidad de emitir decisiones formales y estéticas. De hecho cree que esa fase ya se está dando, “la inteligencia artificial y el machine learning ya están más entre nosotros de lo que la gente cree”, asegura.

Lo que está claro es que Cora está destinada a mezclarse con todo ello, y va a seguir jugando con lo mejor de cada mundo para brindarnos nuevas y excitantes visiones”

Cora Novoa launches her first EP on Vitalic’s label

“Three albums and ten EPs into her career, DJ and producer Cora Novoa is one of the most established electronic artists in Spain. She followed an album/EP sojourn on Natura Sonoris (Henry Saiz’s label) and Hivern Discs (John Talabot’s label) prior to setting up her own company, Seeking The Velvet, designed to seek out Barcelona’s new vibrant, creative talent. She became the first woman to collect the Best DJ award at 2017’s Vicious Music Awards in Spain. She also creates live immersive audio-visual performances in riveting fashion.

Ushered in by Vitalic, Cora Novoa is releasing a first EP on his label Citizen Records. The EP, featuring the tracks ‘’The Hive’’ and ‘’Hey,’’ is an electro/techno effort of maximum intensity. Both tracks build on harsh rhythmic patterns, high energy, overpowering dark grooves, and are ready to be effective for dancefloors. ‘’The Hive’’ follows a sensational metronomic beat pattern and plays on breaks to ever increase the pressure. The seven-minute track is as dense as gripping. ‘’Hey’’ revolves around short slogans that are repeated throughout. The brief vocals lay over a strong beat together with industrial and metallic sounds.”
