The Tromsø Collective Vol. 2 once again shines a light on Tromsø, the world's most Northern city. The modern Norwegian dance scene was born there and it was home to Bjørn Torske, Rune Lindbaek and Mental Overdrive. 

But it is time for the old guard to make room for the new generation.

Third Attempt has been going guns on Beatservice and here serves up two cuts of brilliant nu-disco. Push takes a loop and nails it to the floor as the grooves is driven in to the late night. One for the dancers.

Another producer on the make is Keecan, who delivers near perfect nu-disco with Gone. A popping baseline, vocal sample and filtered synth keeps it the right side of deep but with plenty of soul and kick.

Diskotek skips along with live bass and guitar for an early night floor filler and guaranteed smiles all round.

Finally Define Jazz brings the melancholy and deepness before breaking to a heavy swing, acid bass and a touch of Wild Pitch. Touches of effects and stabs give it a that wonky Nordic edge.

DJ History Podcast #594 | Bill Brewster

One of our earliest and best finds has got to be our Norweigan maestro, Third Attempt. He's back this Friday with an exquisite, laid-back, easy listening triphop album. Breathable to the fullest, 'Air' eases us into a moody balearic jazz space with finely woven flights of languid trumpets and polychromatic pads.

Another one from the vaults and called the 'dark garage' mix. Sound Factory vibes going on here and probably recorded in the mid-90s.

May we present the Paper DJ Tag Team #2!
(visual versions here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdU6bjRKA7o&t=2705s)

3 tracks each, mixing into the previous DJs to create a non-stop, disco dancing & boogie enhancing alternative take on the live stream.
Selectors this time round come in the form of Chris Massey Music with a few celeb pals who don't move much, BB & Richie V from their very own Supernature Disco rave den then Anoraak drops the heat from his studio which will make you salivate over his synth collection!

Homoelectric banger queen Gina Breeze lays it down from her loft studio with a UV tinge, Mix-Stress knows that all the best parties are held in the kitchen & drops bangers by the sink, we just about catch a few sights of REETA & her red handbag whilst she mixes up a storm then Indigo Jung come at us live from their sauna which must be broke as they've got coats on and then of course the mighty Flash Atkins Music brings it to a close with a full on family dance off featuring friends from multiple boroughs!

Great fun, ace tunes...

Wayout Presents...Manakinz - 04.03.21

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!
