Energija w/Black Feeling @ Radio Vilnius, May 10th 2023

Well, it has indeed been a while, but we are turbo excited to announce the return of our fave tweaky disco acid squelched drenched viking Rave-Enka makes a triumphant return to the Paper fold! Bølgen is a 4 track E.P. of absolute top shelf vintage single malt style scenarios and fully highlights the amazing sounds from the dance floors of Norway and even more amazing is that for once, not one of his tracks is hitting the 10 minute mark!

Ta Pass opens up and is an absolute certified BANGER! Cut up disco loop, filtered out & filtered in kick drum, spaced out synths and a cowbell. It's that simple and that blooming amazing.top marks.

Inn For Landingfully doffs its cap to the late 90's sound of France and is reminiscent of Daft Punk before they got too much money. Filtered house finesse with fully cosmic laced disco synths all over a 4 bar loop. So simple you wished you'd done it, but you didn't.

Holder Tråden keeps the simple formula as previous, clever cut up sample with a walloping kick drum and warped out vocal. One for the Derrick Carter bumpty bumpty cartel & filtered house fanatics.power house banger!

Bølgen keeps it cut up & choppy whilst packing bags of disco thrust. No stressing, no messing it's just straight up house that jacks, slaps & defies you not to groove n move.

Hetetakter closes things off with its warped & wonky house music journey. Cut up disco that's sliced beyond recognition and with just enough kick drum drop outs to tantalise & tease throughout. This is packing bags of energy & whallop! Oh and its also got a flute in there too...bonus!

Sean Johnston: "Very cheeky"

Jim Baron (Crazy P/Ron Basejam): "love a bit of Rav-enka, funky one this!"

Fingerman: "Inn For Landing is proper bo and no messin!"

EPICAST #024 - Gael Gael

This week on Topshelf we're delighted to have with us Brazillian DJ / Producer Trio, Japanese Limo Boys.

Based in Ribeirão Preto (SP), Japanese Limo Boys are one of the most blissfully intriguing acts we've had the pleasure of stumbling across. Beautifully pairing European Minimal & Trance Drums with a variety strings from countries around the world to create their own brand of Deep House, as demonstrated wonderfully in their tracks 'Phrygian', 'Morte aos Tiranos' & 'Poonkanavin' which all feature of their self titled debut EP.

With a excellently representative mix which includes a few of their own, we're extremely excited to give you Topshelf 088 w/ Japanese Limo Boys. Enjoy

Biography:

Ilya Santana is a name that echoes through the shimmering corridors of electronic music, particularly in the realms of space disco and cosmic funk. Born and raised in the Canary Islands, a place where the Atlantic meets the dust of Africa, Santana found himself drawn to the edges of sound early on—edges where melody could float, and rhythm didn’t have to march. He came up through the analog warmth of the ‘70s and the cold seduction of the ‘80s, and somehow fused both into his own kind of future nostalgia.

His career took root in the early 2000s, not through grand gestures but through consistency—a steady stream of releases that wound their way through labels like Balearic stalwarts Eskimo Recordings and Nang. Each track, a kind of ode to neon dreams and late-night drives, became a testament to Santana’s gift for atmosphere: his music doesn’t just play, it inhabits. There’s a cinematic quality to his work, like he’s scoring the movie of a life that’s never quite real but always feels familiar.

Ilya’s sound is less about chart-topping bravado and more about evocation. It lingers. It hums beneath the surface of memory. Through remix work, original compositions, and DJ sets that feel like journeys, Santana has shaped a career that’s both low-key and influential—an underground luminary lighting the way for those who understand that some of the best music doesn’t demand attention, it earns it.

Ilya is running his own record label "Astrolead recordings" specialized on the most underground side of Disco, Space/Cosmic disco, Retro and Synthwave.
Also started duties as a sound designer crafting sample/loops packages for "Loopmasters"
