the stereo remastered album on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl.

dirty melancholic house music is the produce of much musical soul searching for emerging norwegian star finnebassen.

hence number ten comes in a nice 10inch format. and again a new artist is on board! essay is his name and hes from heidelberg. additionally the two exceptional artists nocow and desolate are contributing two fantastic remixes as a thank you for an awesome collaboration with fauxpas musik. vocals are coming from stunning norwegian singer ida dillan. vinyl tastes better

daniel blackbelt andersen has been active in the norwegian dance music community for a number of years. he got into electronic dance music in the early 90s, and first started emulating the sound of detroit techno on his fathers home computer. these are three brand new tracks not being part of the recent album ii.

smalhans is the fourth solo album by norwegian producer hans-peter lindstrøm, and his second album to come out in 2012. earlier this year he released six cups of rebel, which was a very personal album for lindstrøm and showed his more experimental side. now, this forthcoming record on smalltown supersound, finds lindstrøm back on the dance floor with six monumental tracks – classic lindstrøm style.
smalhans was mixed by his friend todd terje, who has also made extended edits which will be released as 12 inches. the album title is an old norwegian word and means scarcity or simply poverty. each track on the album is titled after a traditional norwegian meal. smallhans is lindstrøm at his very best, perfected by todd terje.

fuselabs first physical release – a vinyl 12 inch lp of russian/norwegian band onego. onego is igor bogdanov, victor shubin (both from russia), bernt simen lund and gudmund ostgard (both from norway). these guys met together to bring this finest electronica album with natural slavic and nordic touch. and that is what >bukhanka dreams< really is: a thick sonic universe of glitchy rhythms, deep ambience and truly authentic melodies. not just a fast-produced snack you know.

nice price deal !!! they done found the flow is the new six-track ep from norways critically revered oslo flow. the most eagerly anticipated scratch music release in years!
art is dead. music is dead. scratch music is long dead and rotting in its unmarked grave. but wait - what is this? blam and plato on magnificent stallions riding out of the norwegian dawn to save the day with they done found the flow. thank sweet odens raven we are saved! balance has been restored to the universe - oslo flow style.
they dont sound like anyone else. they work outside the boundaries of the possible. they are unique voices in what is becoming an increasingly dull conversation. and most importantly, they are funkier than an old piece of provolone in a hard working hookers panties. now play the f**king record and prepare to tremble.

little is known about the norwegian bunny & bear duo known simply as the glue. their last appearance with us came courtesy of kolour ltd and we knew right then that these boys were in-store for their own ep with us and we are pleased to announce that it has finally come to fruition.
remix duties see the return of the incomparable dead rose music company to the kolour fray. he takes the title track and rubs it into a chunky piece of dancefloor business that has without a doubt turned into one of our favorite remixes to date.
we here at the kolour recordings family of labels cannot express just how much we appreciate your continued support. for all the gig spins, various chart support, podcast plays, and reviews .. from the bottom of our hearts .. we thank you very much.

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

marius bubat and georg conrad aka coma combine pop and house, techno and indie rock with an eclectic approach, creating highly recognizable music with an emotional impact. even though emerging just a short time ago, coma have already seen their share of travelling, with a recent appearance at sxsw 2012 and even a journey to vietnam. it was there the boys teamed up with norwegian dj charlotte bendiks, as they fought their way through the chaos of hanois traffic.

first up is >waves< by norwegian dynamo the treatment. after the success of his on & on ep, as well as an overflowing vat of remixes, in 2011, the treatment is back to form with this flawless rework of surfaces >falling in love<, a surprising yet harmonious blend of nu disco, classic house chords and electro – a cerebral record that also highlights his instinctive side. we all love a piano riff too, of course.

this is the second release on a series of classical detroit style techno releases from a norwegian bergen based producer skatebård.

first on decks.de !! the norwegian composer and producer robert solheim have been releasing quality underground music spanning from ambient to chilled electronics and techy house and techno for more than a decade. and now, after spending months fine-tuning the album > hollywood under the knife< in the dark electronica project the opiates with billie ray martin, he has finally found time to submerge himself into his other world of fine art electronics and is back with a new ep in the category, >music for your home and club entertainment <. the >syv / o portiño ep< contains two 2 trippy and techy house tracks labeled with his unique quality. both tracks taken from his forthcoming album heretics<, and the ep comes with superb remixes from john tejada (kompakt , pokerflat, palette) and dj puk (aquavit records, smiley fingers). be prepared to go deep both at home and on the dance floor.

while the first release on wania, busen & paleos >stream of love< (featuring dj sotofetts anthemic overdub-12inchedit) was a rather leftfield affair, dritfett is aimed more directly towards the dancefloor. the label artwork gives a clear clue as to what this release is all about: amongst a number of cryptic messages and shout-outs in norwegian - a tr-909 logo. all the tracks here are based around the 909 - thunderous kickdrums and sharp, hissing hi-hats that cut through the mix. still, theres a broad range of sounds, from head-down, fists-clenched warehouse workouts with an industrial edge, to more melodic tracks with detroit references aplenty. make no mistake though: this is all about the power of the almighty 909. theres no fancy tricks here‚ no ableton-trickery or polished waveforms, just good honest techno with a real raw live feel. this gives the tracks the energy and spontaneity that is sorely missed in many of todays productions. the kind of energy you will find - in abundance - in the house and techno releases of the 90s. the kind of energy that can only be achieved by pressing play on a machine, frenetically twisting knobs and punching buttons while letting the energy of the room decide where to go next.

one of the master teachers of the norwegian house and disco rune lindbaek - who put oslo on the house map as part of the those norwegians ( paper music ) - joins forces with younger disciple kare frisvold for a potent, accoustic hallucinogenic called >bozak brewed with the shared knowledge of mad sounds scientist like walter gibbons and lee scratch perry: a constantly building electrical storm of strange psychedelic synth noises pierced by flutters of rico rodriguez style trombone solo, liquid guitar scales and kraftwerk like melodic fragments all held together by a forcefull drum beat. the quirky >spok & spenning< on the flip is another beautifully strange mixture of cinematic melodies, like sweated out by a drunken ennio morricone, over an easy skanking beat and comes additionally in a stripped down bonus beat plus spacey sounds version by prins thomas. take a trip to your mind!

with a sound that straddles electro, funk, disco and house, oslo based duo ost & kjex return with their second long-player cajun lunch on hamburg based imprint, diynamic. the debut album, to their big surprise awarded them a nomination for best electronica album at the norwegian grammys and the pair continued to develop their sound on releases such as more songs about cheese and revolutionary tarts, how not to be a biscuit and boston food strangler. since then the food boys have awoken, got their hands on some serious sounds and started shredding out tunes aimed at the dance floor.

run by annie & sex tags !! finally it’s here! the new long awaited 12 inch from the talented norwegian producer skatebård. these two tracks were originally meant to be released last year, but due to different reasons they never made it to the press, and almost disappeared into darkness. totally and sex tags ufo got hold of them, and now they are here for you to enjoy! way out-why not? are two beautiful and melodic tracks, one with a massive percussive breakdown, and both with skatebårds original and unique italo sound. this is the summer anthem record of 2010, no doubt!! skatebård has previously released on labels such as tellektro, keys of life, supersoul recordings, sex tags mania and radius, in addition to his own label digitalo enterprises. totally is a label formerly based in finland, founded in 2002 by annie and timo kaukolampi (op:l bastards). now it is based in norway, and operated by annie herself. with the label annie releases her own material like the recent album dont stop, and various other artists as well

limited edition lp!
ironic? no, it’s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn’t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she’s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s — singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (”maria magdalena“). if she hadn’t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally’s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he’d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it’s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.

portuguese based social disco club (aka humberto matias) delivers some laid back mediterranean spiced disco groove. >the way you move< sleeks along with sultry keys, latin groove, lazy percussion and all the flavour of an early-evening island vista. maia adds his tastefully high catchy vocals to round off the vibe. up on the edit is our pal greg wilson who re-jigs like only he can, creating a more floor based mix. the original is all about the great vocals whilst new norwegian disco-don diskjokke gives us his late 80s balearic sounding re-rub.. its ibiza 88 all over again.. drop the deal friends

per martinsen aka mental overdrive shouldnt need any introduction being the granddad of the norwegian electronic music scene and all... hidden away in a little snowcave near the polar circle hes currently preparing the bits that eventually will become his debut album for full pupp.weve heard some bits and though wed like to keep them all under the lid for a little while longer, heres a little sneak peek of what hes done and hopefully preparing you off his unique take on modern dance music taking in elements of new wave, new beat, detroit and dubstep on the way. per unleashed this on us at one of the full pupp nights in oslo and recently we saw how it took the roof off at fabric... for the b-side we paired per up with the equally detroit-loving blackbelt andersen which gives us a hi-speed samba techno work out with a unhealthy deep bass.

only a very few lucky people can call skatebards wonderful debut lp their own. >skateboarding was a crime in 1989< got released on telles electronic offshoot tellektro, home of great norwegian artists like annie or rÖyksopp. the key track on that album was >sgnelkab< which got played and loved to death by djs like sven väth, michael mayer and pascal feos. it instantly became a classic and always remained a secret weapon. the few copies available on discogs cost € 50 and more.... now >sgnelkab< is finally available on a full vinyl side and remastered to great effect! along comes a brand new remix by norwegian techno godfather mental overdrive (r&s). he turned the track into an insanely hot disco rave remix that already got great feedback from the usual suspects. the artwork was accomplished by another scandinavian legend: sähkös very own tommi grönlund!

colin de la plante is the canadian bred and berlin-based the mole. his unique and abstract take on modern disco on labels like wagon repair and musique risque put him right at the top of my wishlist….. so after promises of fulfilling filthy fantasies and a big share in the norwegian oil fund these 2 golden nuggets were handed over!

after a run of releases from more established artists, ed dmxs breakin records takes a step into the unknown with the debut single from norwegian jørgen indal , aka impakt . with a classic feel throughout, this ep runs the gamut of breakin styles from crisp electro, through to smooth spacey acid, through to drexciya-style techno-funk. indal is a young producer from trondheim who creates a wide variety of electronic music using ancient analogue machines and modern software instruments. you can hear detroit and cornish influences through the ep all polished up with impakts glacial sheen. tight uncluttered production from this new scandinavian talent, and dynamic mastering courtesy of matt ‘golden ears colton (planet mu, sandwell district, rekids, 20:20 vision) ensures that this release will cut through in any set

norwegian songwriter, guitarist and vocalist ane brun is a rising star. with two norwegian grammys for best female artist and song of the year in 2005, her most recent and third studio album >changing of the seasons< entering the norwegian charts at 1 and the swedish charts at 2 the future looks very bright for her. now brun has connected with dennis ferrers - objektivity. ferrer has gathered an international cast of some of todays leading house and techno producers to take the works of brun one step further. the aptly named >ane brun objektified< full length will be released later this summer here is the first single, a taster of what is to come - bruns >headphone silence< remixed by henrik schwarz. schwarz composed his remix initially as a live lap top piece, mixing it down under the watchful eyes of close colleagues ame. on the flip you find a dixon edit

ltd 7inch release of the norwegian indie/pop band - includes riton turbo disco remix

remixes are courtesy of roland dark soldier appel, and norwegian remix master prins thomas in his amazing balearic disco way. welcome to an exciting and innovative artist for 2008.

played by todd terje, tim sweeny, mungolian jet set, bill brewster, dj cosmo and more. on this release they don’t seem to hide their combined love for soundtrack and trip hop at all! the heavy sonic landscape that is painted then suddenly gets some strokes of warm synthetic keys while a mid tempo 4/4 bass drum hypnotically keeps you going towards the end. finally you kindly get administered a dose of druggy guitar for maximum distortion effect.on the flip norwegian top-flight psychonauts mungolian jet set show their genius by telling a totally different story. for their dark & gloomy medievel knievel version the main theme from bs&f gets many variations and transpositions.this is a genuine and highly intelligent epic dance floor masterpiece not for the faint-hearted!

reverso 68 are pete herbert and phil mison. after tokyo disco and especial this is already their third outing on eskimo. piece together was released three years ago in a very limited run on their own specialist interest label, but both the guys and eskimo thought it deserved to be heard by a larger audience. as a special bonus theres an amazing slow motion disco remix by norwegian wonderboy todd terje.

barcelona/ibiza based new electronic label indigo raw is composed of norwegian petter dia aka mirus love , ibiza resident jaime fiorito & l.a resident stuart patterson (colorola). they now proudly launch with first release and what a release! german producers andreas wiegand and jan iwanitz aka andomat 3000 & jan who have already released several tracks on labels such as cadenza, 9volt and more.. are now presenting one of their best records so far. amygdala ep producing together for the past three years the frankfurt duo has got the ability to mix the funk of house into the punch of techno. sexy beats for girls and powerful rhythms for boys. >salvarsan< is a percussive rhythmic and powerful minimal house tune grooving with a hypnotic ethnic voice that can be used as perfect warm up tool for any dancefloor. >sobre ebrietas< is more of a peak time record for all our minimal lovers. keeping the perfect balance with transitions adding the warm house feeling that makes you groove!

next display of norwegian extravaganza. sex tags mania presents viennas #1 >privatier< franz pomassl…when you get closer.. i run away…

+ huge tocadisco remix!! do you remember light my eyes ? was the first proposal of irresistible records produced by amo & navas showing us their commercial vision of progressive house, with the amazing vocals of anqui a sweet talented norwegian singer. no

the first release from the brand new console music label. the jelicopter ep is a massive new wave techno tracker delivered by hofstad. his name might sound strange but actually this is no other but inge kjeilen behind it an extremely famous and successful norwegian techno producer and dj with many solid releases under his belt and whose other projects we will not mention to add some mystical flavour

noid records proudly present another emotional rollercoaster courtesy of one of our closest norwegian clansmen. again no expense has been spared in realising this project, from the artwork to the dedicated craftmanship of the players employed...we hope this music transports you to the lush virgin landscapes of our norweigen bredren and enables you to reach for your dreams with a sense of inner peace only the release of your noid chakras can give

beautycase back on the scene with this nice 3 tracker directly from the norwegian north by tetsuo the original is a spaced out electro disco groover remixes come from kosta gitane and napsugar

the new haiti groove comes with a nice filtered summer house tune by norwegian guys bjorn kaarud and john moss. incl a more electro house proggy flavoured remix by christian sol and a funk driven remix by dj vitamin d. supported by deep dish, jesse garcia and grant nelson

after a string of excellent records on planet noise, dialect recordings, crosstown rebels and punkt, ost & kjex (cheese & biscuit) are back in the land of cheese for another mighty slice of vinylicious musical delights! we felt >milano model< (original mix on dial009) was so special it deserved the remix treatment, so we had a little chat with our norwegian friends and we agreed upon two names: rob mello & mungolian jet set. rob s superb career has seen him record quite a few dancefloor burners on such labels as classic, crosstown rebels, azuli, 20:20, city rocker, rekids and now on his own disco 45 imprint. composed of paul >strangefruit< nyhus, knut saevik, reidar skar and sometimes featuring the knights of jumbumla and many other colourful musicians of great talent, mungolian jet set have already cause quite a stir with their amazing remixes of kreeps, lindstrom, lsb, bebel gilberto and their own productions on jazzland records

the original battle 12 was released almost exactly a year ago, but its taken 12 months for them to release henry smithsons astonishing take on the other half of that release. thankfully it was worth the wait. monster wasnt your typical lindstrom production in the first place, but now riton has thoroughly rewired it as a dynamic electronic house circuit, referencing the norwegian disco style with slight choral parts, tight string stings and keyboard arpeggios. the whole effect is very much greater than the sum of these parts, executed as it is with a rigorous attitude

the swedish disco-princess sally shapiro with her debut album -disco romance- she became well-known in disco communities earlier this year with -i ll be by your side-, which was an >utterly perfect slice of italo synth-pop<. the deal is that we have an album full of italo disco inspired pop anthems! already killer reviews from vice magazine,groove and de:bug and more to come...

after his much applauded tribute to manuel göttsching, norwegian martial arts grand wizzard blackbelt anderson returns with another deadly sample of his secret technique: the main cut >alfaz de pi< molds the ancient styles of cowbell driven space disco and ruff acid into a powerfull weapon for dancefloor action. >sandoz< overwhelms in a more gentle way with its sweeping balearic chords and the melancholic melodie while the prins thomas edited >snake eyes< hands out some hard capoeira style slaps. surely one of the most crushing releases on full pupp so far.
