Swedish producer and DJ Rasmus Faber and Berlin based British vocalist David Sanderson have teamed up to produce what is set to be the sound of the summer.

Never Enough is a perfect blend of blue-eyed soul, yacht rock and disco that brings the sunshine. Over immaculate production, the guitar, piano and bass sit perfectly with David's heartfelt vocals. The break brings a touch of gospel before the chorus plays out and is left spinning. The Extended Mix strips things back to give more room to the instrumentation for a more DJ friendly version.

Longtime Paper collaborator Max Essa delivers a remix masterclass with his smooth rework, taking things a touch deeper with extra arp and pads.

The Dub Mix brings delays and EFX as individual elements are broken down and sprinkled with studio magic. The bass is locked, the pad riff casts its hypnotic spell and vocal phrases are worked in and out. One for late nights and early mornings.

Support in from:

Jim Stanton (Horse Meat Disco): "Max Essa again what a fantastic track would totally be playing this!"

Hardway Bros: "Very Balearic indeed!"

Barrie Urquhart (Buddha Lounge): "Lovely to see Rasmus Faber on here. Thanks for this EP, my fave for a long time from Paper. Every single version is usable for me in slightly different situations and locations i play. Personal fave is Max Essa Extended Vocal"

Fingerman: "Wonderful vibes here!"

Quincy Jointz: "Loving the original and the Max Essa Dub!"

Pathaan: "Perfect sunset vibes!"

Rasmus Faber X David Harks - Never Enough (Max Essa Dub Mix)

San Francisco's Mr. Tea keeps them coming with another four tracks of deep house fire.

Dream Fortress is a disco house banger of the first order. Wobbly bass, messy percussion, samples and arps aim this right at the bullseye and it doesn't miss.   

Long-time collaborator Wonder adds her vocals to the sensual deep house of Soul Seeker. Pure late night sleazyness.

The Touch Remix strips back the original but keeps the early hours dirt. Samples, bass and arps hypnotise as the track weaves its magic.

Running Home finishes off the EP with washes of synths, techy bass and a hooky vocal refrain. Soul, 80s, ambient, 90s and Balearic are all ready for the perfect moment. Fans of Charles Webster will be all over it.

40 Thieves: "I'm in love with Dream Fortress!"

Le Visiteur: "Dream Fortress is ace!"

Bill Brewster: "Like the OG of Soul Seeker"

Alice Palace: "Both those Soul Seeker's are killer, can't wait to play them"

Sarah Lazenby (Super FU): "Perfect summer tune to sip daiquiris around the pool and dream you are in arp heaven"

Aniso Tropics returns to Paper with another kaleidoscope tinged journey into the electronic cosmos on Lubek which boast 3 cuts of interstellar proportions that perfectly continue the story as mapped out in his debut with us a little while back.

Title track Lubek thunders out of the gates with a serious chest thumper of a bass line before pairing up with spaced out synths & pads and those all important arps. A proper psychedelic techno laced banger!

Utopya snaps & cracks its way through some groovy 8708 & 909 sounds with a quirky piano ruff riding a wobbly bass which sounds like a track from The Last Ninja on the Commodore 64 (which is THE highest of accolades!). Dreamy, balearic, mystical & much more….lush.

Apricot Memorex is the perfect way to close off this party and really shows the forward thinking, unique sounds & influences of Aniso Tropics. Glitchy percussion & skippy beats that are reminiscent of Four Tet, Bonobo & even Aphex Twin (at his most mellow!) are peppered throughout this cut which somehow manages to sit somewhere in-between ‘mid trip’ & sunrise.

Sean Johnston: "Utopya is lush"

Chris Massey: "All are absolute yessmate but I think its Apricot Memorex that does it for me. Very good indeed!"

Thrillhammer: "I'll def be playing Lubek"

From Beyond: "Lush stuff! Difficult to pick between Lubek and Utopya"

Lubek

After soundtracking our Summer on his sun-drenched collaboration with Private Agenda, Tonarunur returns to the Paper fold with ‘Perspective’

2 cuts of solid, slamming, spaced out, electronic disco music that clearly displays the influences from his current residence in Reykjavik & previous year’s living in Madrid & Oslo…strap yourself in, it’s definitely a game of 2 halves here.

View turns throb-o-meter to 11 and hurtles out of the gate sounding like a cross between something from Vangelis’ soundtrack for Blade Runner & Cygnus X’s ‘The Orange Theme’ and thus the term ‘cinematic bangers’ is created!

Angle is a much more mellow affair and pushes the low slung switch with jazzy chords, Zapp style vocal shots & funk laced leads to create a lovely bit of Balearic that should appeal to yacht rock lovers far & wide. Pretty darn stunning.

Fingerman: "Angle track is vibes!"

Sean Johnston/Hardway Bros.: "Angle is a very cheeky 1!"

Olle Abstract: "Angle is the one for me. Really summery and funky. I like a lot!"

Thrillhammer: "Wow, these tracks are so different from each other. Totally unexpected. Preferring the energy of View on this release."

Duncan Grey/Tici Taci: "View is Progtastic, Angle is more crisp than the bedsheets in a posh hotel. thanks!"

As Frankie sang, 'and now, the end is near', which is certainly the case for our long standing Trash The Wax compilation series.

Over the years, it has released some absolute dance floor smashers by established names in the art of bangers as well as emerging music makers showcasing their fresh sounds.

Initially, we wanted to establish Trash The Wax outside of the 'kick-hat-snare stuck over a Sister Sledge sample' style edits that were dropping weekly. The result was a collection of cuts aimed at the dance floor which would also appeal to fans of electronic music. But all things come to an end, and with this 10th release, we are finishing on a high.

As expected there are disco ticklers aplenty from renowned party people such as Late Nite Tuff Guy, Ed Wizard, Bill Brewster, Pablo & Shoey, Danny Russell & Ronald Christoph and Yam Who.

Tracks such as Leon Sweet's Sunny Bigler made their way into the record boxes of the likes of Luke Unabomber, Maurice Fulton and Chris Duckenfield as well as the airwaves of 6Music. Deckard's rework of the theme from 'The Warriors' created scenes at ALFOS in Glasgow with Sean Johnston saying 'I've never seen as many shirtless middle age blokes go as mental as they did when that dropped!'

On a more twisted gutter style disco tip, there is Richard Seaborne's ' Is This Acid?' which topped the Paper best ever sellers on Beatport for months, Richard Norris's 'Glow' is textbook space disco, the low slung sludge of James Rod & Aleito's 'Raum 909' and the Speak & Spell narrated Acidisco by Andy Buchan.

There are also two brand new cuts from TTW family members Boblebad & D.S.D. plus more killer music than we can shake a disco stick at. Never has the phrase 'all hitters and no shitters' been more apt.

PBR Streetgang - 10 March 2025

I'm so happy to be joined by swiss DJ and producer @lea-lisa for the second hour of the show! 🙃

Since 1995, Lea Lisa has been deeply passionate about music and devoted to the house scene, consistently flying the flag for the genre and pushing its sound forward. As a producer, she has released acclaimed EPs on La Mona Records, Phonica, Wolf Music, and Smallville Records—just to name a few.

Last year, she curated the brilliant compilation "Many Shades of House" on Favorite Recordings—a deeply personal project featuring tracks, artists, and records that have shaped her career.
If you’re around Lausanne, don’t miss a night at Folklor Club, especially Bliss Nights, the party she hosts, where she invites incredible DJs from all over the world!

I took care of the first hour with music from our dear and deeply missed Roy Ayers 🤍, N'Dambi (Ron Trent Remix) from Lea Lisa’s Many Shades of House compilation, forthcoming @gintonicorchestra on @floors-records, and an exclusive track from Milk & Honey (aka @saint-james & @tour-maubourg), soon to be released on @chuwanaga (!!!)

COSMIC CAROUSEL #53 w/ Nevena Stankovic

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!
