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.

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!
