Take equal measures of Röyksopp's 'Melody AM', Todd Terje's 'It's Album Time', Lindstrøm's 'I Feel Space' with Studio Barnhus plus Magdalena Bay, and you're getting somewhere towards the sound of 'Om Verda Mi', the debut album from Lakeshouse. A long-player that distils the country's rich musical heritage and re-imagines it for the future.

The band are part of the next generation of Norwegian producers, having had their first release on Paper in 2019. The Firkanta EP laid out a template of crisp production and cheeky humour with a broad range of influences that takes in everything from Scandi-folk, classical, Italo, techno, Aphex Twin, pop and anything else suitably leftfield. They bring with them a strong visual identity in the artwork and videos, channelling a psychedelic utopian Norway.

The two singles from the album have made their way into the record boxes of Greg Wilson, Marcia Carr, Jimpster, Colleen Murphy, Kraak & Smaak, with Soul Clap calling Renates Dance 'Euro kitsch with epic forward thinking drum programming', which sums things up nicely!

Watch this space because Lakeshouse are coming!

Strange Phenomena

STRANGE PHENOMENA DISCO MIX AUTUMN/WINTER 2025

Toni Romero is Babka! - a DJ and producer orbiting house, power house, disco, and sharp flashes of acid and techno. After cutting his teeth as a DJ in the late 2000s, he turned the booth lights down to light up the studio, where analog synthesizers converse with digital precision - textures that carry both euphoria and restraint.

His perspective is deliberately activist: he collaborated with ACME (Asociación Cultural de Música Electrónica). For the past two years, the Babka! Podcast has carved out space for deeper dialogue with national and Barcelona artists - Pau Roca, Breixo Martínez, Víctor Santana, Dalila, Dafunkas, Spacer, Uner - choosing reflection over spectacle.

His productions roam across the house spectrum, always playing with styles and moods. Earlier, as Fukaeri, he explored darker hues; those tracks found airplay on Scanner FM (Circuito Virtual).

Today, with the DJ engine humming again, Babka! signs a SOULMEEX DJ mix that reads like a manifesto: blending styles and states of mind until the dancefloor tells its own story.

The Bill Brewster Podcast #816 (Short Version)

Myrddin is one of Lyon’s strongest forces in the French electronic scene. DJ, producer, and founder of Mélopée Records, he crafts a distinctive sound that fuses nu-disco, italo, electro, and rave spirit. Fascinated by 80s hardware and raised on techno and EBM, Myrddin translates his passion into cosmic, analog-driven grooves marked by warm basslines, acid touches, and trance-like melodies.

Since launching Mélopée Records in 2019, he has built a label that reflects his vision of contemporary dance music - luminous, mysterious, and deeply emotional. Between 2020 and 2023, he released on respected imprints such as Esthétique Records, Ulla Records, Golden Soul, and of course Mélopée, earning international attention and support from artists like Skatebård, Chinaski or Phunkadelica.

Both on stage and in the studio, Myrddin’s flawless technique and analog sensibility create a hypnotic tension between nostalgia and futurism. Each performance is a journey through his retrofuturist universe - a celebration of machines, rhythm, and emotion - making him not just a local weapon in Lyon, but a key name in Europe’s scene.

Journey Through-84 Radio Show with Chad Jackson - Ibiza vibes Pt.1

Paper has been pushing all things deep house and disco from the furthest reaches of the world via the good old North of England since the early Nineties.

The label has already featured a new series of EP's showcasing the best new dance music and future funk, house and disco from the world's finest producers.

We kicked off in 1994, leading the upsurge in popularity of UK house music within an underground scene previously dominated by a soundtrack from US cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York. Enhanced by a strong visual identity, as well as impeccable musical quality control PAPER was, and is one of the world’s most treasured record companies.

It continues to be funk-fuelled and bottom heavy!
