Written throughout the year 2019, by journalist Claudia Assef, the biography “Noise on the moon - The Story of DJ Anderson Noise” is anchored in the life of the boy born into a humble family in Belo Horizonte who eventually became one of the most relevant names in Electronic music. But not only that.
“Writing a biography is almost like having a deep biography therapy session. There are moments of joy, of overcoming, of sadness, of failure, and a look with a very particular filter to the world, ”explains Claudia.
“Noise on the Moon“ plunges into the soul of the DJ, who even with little study, has become a techno heritage in Brazil. The book weaves Anderson's story with the development of Belo Horizonte's
night scene with memories of places that have marked the city, such as the mythical “The Great Brazilian Disaster” and the “Drosóphyla bar.”
Accumulating over 32 years of his career, Anderson Noise was one of those responsible for the development of electronic music in his hometown, where he organized over 40 major parties/events bearing his brand. But its impact was felt far beyond Belo Horizonte.
Anderson pioneered the creation of an online radio program in the early days of the internet (Radio Noise, UOL, 2002-2017),preceding the success of podcasts; and a YouTube channel before “youtubers” blew up .Also Brazil's first weekly Brazilian electronic music channel:TV Noise); He set up the Noise Music label (the oldest techno label in Brazil),that released over 200 releases.At the height of his career, in 2003, he made a historic closing set at Skol Beats, a milestone for many people to this day.
In addition to playing in virtually every Brazilian state, Anderson has travelled the world and his passport has more than 30 stamps from countries where he took his brand sound “Noise”. Among the most visited, England and Japan.
Not to mention things that we don't even dream that a DJ would be able to perform, such as playing with an orchestra in Sala São Paulo (the Bachiana Philharmonic, conducted by conductor João Carlos Martins) or working with one of his biggest idols, Milton Nascimento who sang one of the songs by the band “Nie Myer” which the DJ is a member of with Lelo Zanetti and Henrique Portugal, from Skank.
“Noise on the Moon”traces the relationship between this Mineiro and the terrestrial satellite, since Anderson was born on July 21, 1969, a few hours after man stepped on the moon.
With 164 pages, the book brings together testimonials from people who are part of the life of the DJ, collected from many hours of conversation and photographs that help put together the overall picture of the DJ and the development of the Minas Gerais electronic scene. In addition to a playlist hosted on the Internet, with more than 100 featured songs in this 30-year trajectory, which will be accessed by reading a QRCode printed on the datasheet, or by the link that directs the reader to this collection.
For the first time, Anderson opens up about his personal life and talks about sensitive topics such as alcoholism, depression and panic attacks for example:“These are very current topics and less discussed than they should be. Talking is a way of raising awareness, ”says the DJ.
The work, whose edition is bilingual, was written in Portuguese and English. “This enables the book to spread around the world over time,” emphasizes Noise.
Anderson is still active and is far from wanting to hang up his headphones.
Performs monthly in Sao Paulo, where he is a resident DJ at D-Edge.

Also the fantastic project “João Carlos Martins & Anderson Noise” in Concert with the Bachiana Philharmonic Orchestra of São Paulo was performed in May of 2009 and in 2011 at Sala São Paulo. Another great collaboration was in 2013 with Anderson Noise & Jacob Bro. The band was formed in 1991 by the Bro Trio, a Danish Jazz Band. Then in 2016, Henrique Portugal and Lelo Zanetti from the band “Skank” and Anderson formed the Band ”Nie Myer“ that mixes Bossa Nova, Jazz and electronic music. They also recorded with Milton Nascimento in the song “Vikings" that’s on that album coming out soon on the Sony Label.
