Review: Prins Thomas's Full Pupp reached their 15th birthday in 2020, an event they've been celebrating all year via a series of five EPs. Now, all five get conveniently bundled together in album for the benefit of anyone who hasn't been paying attention! The album's 23 tracks span a fair range of musical ground, from straight-up deep house (see Marius Vareid's 'Acidus') and shimmering nu-disco (Pandreas's 'N.M.') to leffield electronica (DJ Fett Birger's 'Blot Fis | Hvite Linbukser', floaty prog (JaddaJaddaPlay's 'Flagrende Gevanter') and haunting cosmic/Italo disco (Tarje & Are's 'For Rubicon'), making for an enjoyable and varied listen.

Review: Prins Thomas seems to have got this album making malarkey down to a fine art. Having taken what seems like an eternity to put together his 2010 debut album, Prins Thomas, he's now up to volume three in his self-titled solo series. Whereas previous albums had a crustier krautrock feel amongst the cosmic synths, Prins Thomas III is largely downtempo, delivering a range of atmospheric Scandolearic moments that recall his two full-lengths alongside pal Hans-Peter Lindstrom. As usual, there's much to enjoy, from the drifting downtempo fluidity of "Trans" and wonky leftfield disco of "Labyrinth" to the sparse off-kilter Italo of "Apne Slusa" and intoxicating Middle Eastern chug of "Arabisk Natt (Dub)". In many ways it's a muted set - by his standards, at least - but that only adds to its' lazy, hazy charm.

Review: Marius Vareid has long been part of the furniture at Prins Thomas' Full Pupp label, releasing a string of typically Scandolearic 12"s over the last few years. Here he presents his long-promised debut album, a dewy-eyed journey that's as Balearic as stumbling out of Space at midday with a mile-wide grin on your chops. While there's plenty of delicious synthscapes, dreamy downtempo grooves and soft-centred Norwegian disco to enjoy, the album's best moments are more obviously bright, breezy and rush-inducing. The wonderful title track and piano-heavy "Sandstrand", in particular, are utterly beguiling, as is enchanting closer "Tropisk Storm". Highly recommended.

Review: Even Brenden's CHMMR project is giving the Scandinavian scene a renewed sense of freshness and subtlety when it comes to hazy, downtempo beats. The producer is back on Norway's sublime Full Pupp imprint with a gorgeous LP that spans just about ever corner of the electronic dance framework that resides left of field. Auto is a gorgeous piece of work, from its slow, lingering sense of euphoria that spans the entirety of its ten tracks, to the elegance and precision of the melodies themselves. Balearic might be one way to describe this colourful composition of sounds, but we believe that it goes much further than that, and actually resides in the enlarged house domain. This, of course, is for your slower, and perhaps earlier sets...and by early we mean early hours.

Review: Ostensibly a response to techno being 'in such a sorry and predictable state', Full Pupp's latest compilation goes off in a number of wonderfully captivating tangents. Label owner Prins Thomas' "Mere Apokalypso" is a tripped-out groove, while his take on Synk's "Tool Mix" is an acid-laced chugger. In contrast, JaddajaddaPlay's "Bird No Bird" goes down a percussive route. Despite the title, techno does make an appearance. Blackbelt Engh Rhythm Combo's "Frydenlyn" is a rolling tribal affair, while trance influences bubble to the surface on Christian Engh's dubbed out "Khonsu" and Karolinski's high-paced, melodic "Slutt A Mase Eg Har Ikkje Spelt Pa Ei Veke".

Review: Prins Thomas' Full Pupp label seems to excel at finding hitherto unknown Norwegian disco talent. Here, it offers up the debut full-length from Oslo native Andre Bratten, who apparently shares studio space with Lindstrom and Todd Terje. Comparisons with both producers are understandable; Be A Man You Ant's shimmering vintage synths, stargazing melodies and chugging space disco grooves (particularly those on the intoxicating "Aegis") are reminiscent of both producers' early work. It's already been pointed out that "Libra" shares an aesthetic with Terje's "Inspector Norse", while the quirky "Still Sertie" and mutant funk oddity "I Am Square" bear all the hallmarks of a Six Cups of Rebel B-side. Clearly, Bratten is a talent to watch.

Review: Since playing a starring role (often alongside old pal Hans-Peter Lindstrom) in the Norwegian space disco and Scandolearic movements of the mid 2000s, Prins Thomas has wandered off in all sorts of different directions, filling his first solo LP with Krautrock-inspired darkness. This second solo album displays some of the same influences (see the post punk bass and dark percussive builds of "Peppadans 1"), while moving back towards the sound with which he made his name. It's an interesting mix, all told, encompassing intense, paranoid moods ("Bobletekno (Permiks)"), sparse percussive workouts ("Bom Bom"), and shimmering Scandolearic builders (the how do you pronounce "Symfonisj Utviklingschemming"), all wrapped up in his trademark prog rock-influenced production.

Review: Some 16 years after launching, Prins Thomas's Full Pupp label continues to champion distinctive dance music made by Norwegian producers, and those from elsewhere who call the country home. The latest is Oslo-based Bulgarian Ivaylo, who follows two EPs for the imprint with a suitably impressive album co-produced by the Full Pupp supremo. Featuring a suitably cosmic, off-kilter take on deep house rich in quirky instrumentation, drowsy motifs and mind-altering effects, the eight-track set sees Ivaylo flit between space disco-influenced positivity ("Landing"), shuffling, loose-limbed positivity ("Norr?n"), sleazy late-night heaviness ("Sofia Dub"), Scandeolearic grooves ("Skandinavis") and skewed retro-futurism (the analogue-rich "Hus").

Review: 'Try new things. You may regret it. It might backfire. Do it anyway.' Norweigian imprint Full Pupp present here a beautiful ambient album by local artist Even Brenden aka Chmmr, following his debut album 'Auto' back in 2017. Here he delivers a new collection of music to inspire half an hour of your life. The sophomore album Try New Things features (in order of appearance): the lo-slung hip-house of "One More Day 2 Play", the chilled beats of "Adult Land #6", the neon-lit '80s boogie of "Nfo Love Song" and the sublime daydream balearica of "4Cc". Absolute bliss on offer here from Prins Thomas' ever impressive Full Pupp imprint.

Review: A decade after opening its' doors, Prins Thomas' Full Pupp label - a long-running showcase for Norwegian talent - has reached 50 releases. Fittingly, the imprint's figurehead has decided to mark the occasion with a double-pack of his own material - his most expansive offering since the Prins Thomas III LP in 2014. Highlights are plentiful, from the fluid, broken rhythms, undulating electronics and bubbling acid lines of the quietly grandiose "Meiro", and trance-inducing, dark nu-disco of "Trans (12" Version)", to the Chicago acid-influenced dancefloor wonkiness of "Toransu". The package also contains a tasty "bonus beat" rub of one of the tracks, and previously unheard remixes from Chmmr and Kort.

Review: Ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in outer space, as Full Pupp regular DJ Sotofett teams up with fellow Norwegian Rex Ronny, AKA Ronny Nyheim of PsyPal Records, to produce a seven-tracker whose titles alone should give you some idea of what to expect. Italo, cosmic disco and Krautrock are the primary sources on inspiration here, with several of the tracks largely beat-less. If it's dancefloor ammunition you seek, then head for 'Cerebionical Sweep' or 'Thermoplastic Flush', but even those two are strictly warm-up or weary 6am material: really it's an album that's best served a) whole, b) horizontal and optionally c) herbally relaxed.

Review: What we have here is the fourth in a series of EPs marking the 15th anniversary of Prins Thomas's Full Pupp label, though it should be stressed that all the tracks are brand new, not back catalogue favourites. So successful has Thomas been in carving out his own particular "Scandidisco" niche that, after 15 years, you probably have a pretty good idea what to expect here already - suffice to say that fans of the label are unlikely to be disappointed with this latest salvo, and with seven tracks on offer, coming from as many artists, there's no faulting the VFM on offer either!

Jarle Brathen feat Hard Ton
Review: Here's something to get the blood pumping: a surprise collaboration between Norwegian space disco sort Jarle Brathen and party-hearty Italian twosome Hard Ton, whose productions tend towards the camp, muscular and synth-heavy. In its original form, 'Master of Disguise' sits somewhere between Visage style new wave synth-pop (the Hard Ton twosome providing vocals), colourful Norwegian synth-disco and throbbing Italo-disco. Full Pupp label boss naturally steals the show remix-wise, delivering a killer 'Megaedit' of Rodion's Patrick Cowley and Giorgio Moroder-inspired remix - all pulsating, arpeggio-driven bass, sweaty percussion and sparkling electronic flourishes. Also worth a listen are Philipp Lauer's glassy-eyed Balearic disco rubs (vocal and instrumental variations are available), and Prins Thomas's dub style 'Megabeats' DJ tool.

Review: Out on Prins Thomas and Steve Kotey's peerless Full Pupp label, Norway's Marius Vareid delivers this stunning release of well-crafted and seriously affecting cosmic nu-disco. Having already released an album on Full Pupp in collaboration with Jarle Brathen under their Ytre Rymden Dansskola alias, this single picks up the grooves and soundscapes from where that project left off. Title track "Vallefaret" keeps the grooves gentle with some distantly echoed pianos to the fore, but the arrangement is so effortlessly perfect it keeps your attention hooked as arpeggiated synths drift over the building beats. Villa Farris keeps the same vibe, this time making good use of synthy brass keys and some deep, almost sub-aqautic pads. As Full Pupp consistently prove, when it comes to quality cosmic disco, Norwegians do it better.
Fellow Full Pupp stalwart Blackbelt Andersen is given the chance to flex his skills over a mix of Vallefaret and throws in some added disco claps and hypnotic hi-hats, as well as some driving bass parts, overall making it more dj-friendly. Jarle Braathen's mix however goes nicely deep, adding long dropouts where he builds the mood with some heavy dub-style delays on the synths and percussion, before dropping back into the groove and chopping up the original's chords to make it his own. As Full Pupp consistently prove, when it comes to quality cosmic disco, Norwegians do it better.

Review: Hamar is the island town in Norway that birthed Prins Thomas, and here he teams up with two local producers with backgrounds in the skwee scene for a split EP on his own Full Pupp label. He graciously lets his guests go first, with Melkeveien bringing us blissed-out Scandolearic throbber 'Thirst Issues' and Sprutbass blending flutes and electro synths on 'Reddik'. Then it's Thomas's turn, as he serves up 'Bybass', a breakbeat-driven funker with more 80s-sounding synths, and 'Ansjless', a much housier drum cut that nods to vintage Chi-town and gets ever more frantic as it progresses.

Review: Full Pupp boss Prins Thomas drops the first DJ friendly release on his label for some two years and it's pure dirt! There's a guttural glee to "Lang Tung Ting" which grabs you from the off and keeps you hooked throughout. Rough, gut punching drums are the perfect match for growling acid squiggles that occupy the lower reaches of the mix, with the track steadily accruing warped jacking intent as it progresses. "Tom Peng Pung" offers a shorter, more percussively inclined version on the track which just doesn't retain the same earthy joy as it's longer counterpart. The bump of "Ny Maskin" is notable for the increasingly psychedelic surges of guitar that gradually overwhelm your senses.

Review: To celebrate ten years of the Full Pupp label, Prins Thomas has drafted in a host of label characters past and present for four various artist EPs. The first of them sees the pumping and hypnotic "Stjernekrigen" from Jarle Brathen, the more funk-infused sounds of Casiokids' "Den Lange Veien Hjen", the pensive analogue sounds of Erik Skantze's "Stargaze" and Markus Varied's "No Vil Eg Bort Og Gifta Meg Og Rydja Meg Ein Gard", which creates a disco odyssey filled with jazz rhythms worthy of its tongue-twister of a name.

Review: Veteran Scandolearic sort Magnus Sheehan has never been one for putting out huge amounts of material, making this EP - a speedy follow-up to recent debut album Echo To Echo - something of a surprise bonus. While two of the four tracks - the dreamy but jaunty, loved-up goodness of "Big Red", and intensely cheery "Zap The Cat" - are taken from that set, that still leaves a pair of previously unheard cuts to savour. There's "Kambodia", a sparse but heavy combination of chugging, Italo-disco arpeggio lines, hypnotic drum machine beats and tuneful synthesizer motifs, and "Swing Your Thing", a typically positive number that fixes jammed out melody lines to analogue-sounding techno beats.

Review: While renowned for promoting a particular kind of Scandolearic disco, Prins Thomas's Full Pupp label has never shied away from mixing things up now and then. As the title suggests, Vi Kal It Asid sees Thomas gather together a bunch of like-minded misfits for a no-holds-barred trip into acid territory. The much-loved label boss kicks things off with a particularly tough, intense and gnarly acid jam - all brain-melting 303 lines and punchy percussion - before Omar V and Mario Aparicio join forces for the deeper and more psychedelic-inclined, Orbital-ish "Acidwave". Ayvind Morken does his best Phuture impression on the straightforward, but still intoxicating "Mann Not Maskin", while Trulz & Robin combine foreboding waves of trippy electronics and off-kilter drum machine hits on the "Energy Flash" influenced "Tjelvar".

Review: Norwegian Pandreas last appeared on local imprint Maksimal with some spacey nu-disco business. He's finally hit the big time: if an EP for local powerhouse Full Pupp qualifies? We sure think it does. The Bergen native throws down a wicked EP following up great EPs by Velfred, Chmmr and label boss Prins Thomas. High octane opener "Trommer Traumer" gets things off to a good start, title track "Back 2 School" is a bleepy jackathon using a sick 303 acid bassline. "Ohm" is cruise control that holds the suspense before you can drop a bigger tune and finally "R.G." is the deepest of the bunch: lo-slung and perfect for the early evening or sunrise set alike.

Review: This will mark the seventh release by Magnus "International" Sheehan on Full Pupp. The Oslo-based producer returns with a deep and entrancing polyrhythmic workout on "Cosmic Cow Session" which even the label itself says harks back to the sounds from the turn of the millennium - think Danny Tenaglia and Junior Vasquez at Twilo circa 2000. Daniel "Blackbelt" Andersen then provides a remix, the latin tribal aesthetic returns on the hypnotic tool "Cosmic Rhythm Session" similarly impresses and probably the most structured track on here appears last in the form of "Cosmic Jam Session" - a groovy acid nu-disco workout that works those magical rhythms from before into new forms.

Review: Intriguingly, Full Pupp boss Prins Thomas has chosen to open this second set of remixes of tracks from CHMMR's charming debut album, Auto, with two previously unheard cuts, rather than reworks. "Fast Forward", is a deliciously glassy-eyed chunk of electro/Telle style synth-pop fusion that's cheerier than a stockbroker on bonus day, while "Solo" melds jazz-funk style synthesizer solos to intergalactic ambient chords and Steve Riley style high-end arpeggios. Both are, naturally, ace. Prins Thomas's two Diskomiks versions of "0x60" are naturally both superb. The first sees him gleefully dance naked through rush-inducing Scandolearic disco territory, while the second ("Part 2") is a delay-laden drum dub rich in layered hand percussion and feverish African influences.

Review: It would be fair to say that Tom Dragebo isn't one of Oslo's better-known producers. The How Long EP is his first release for six years and could well contain his strongest work to date. There's a druggy and dubbed-out feel to opener "How Long", where grizzly, rock style vocal samples and ragged acid lines ride a groove partly inspired by Prins Thomas classic "Fehrara". Fittingly, Thomas makes the track looser, warmer and more loved-up on his accompanying "Discomiks". Dragebo's love of TB-303 acid lines and LFO style bleeps comes to the fore on "Perler For Svin", which comes backed by a ridiculously wild, wayward and distorted Prins Thomas interpretation. Great stuff all told.

Telephones kicks things off with a typically warm, humid, percussive and carnival-friendly chunk of kaleidoscopic house goodness (the rising, melodic brilliance of "Betongbonus"), before Marius Vereid takes us much, much deeper via the deep bass bass, hypnotic beats and drowsy chords of "Acidus". Rising star Christian Engh reaches for weighty sub-bass, tough beats and sparkly, warehouse-ready riffs on the rather fine "Schmoo", while boss man Prins Thomas rounds things off by applying his distinctively Scandolearic dancefloor touch to Mental Overdrive's previously unheard "Day".

Review: It's been a long time between drinks for Eirik Seu Stokkmo, who returns to Prins Thomas' Full Pupp label after six years without a release of any sort. There's plenty to get the pulse racing throughout, from the hybrid classic deep house/Scandolearic space disco flavour of 'Horizon' (all cascading melodies, driving bass, glassy-eyed chords and colourful synth sounds), and the squelchy, intergalactic goodness of 'Aereo' (whose lead line reminded us of another Full Pupp release, Magnus International's terrific 'Kosmetisk'), to the alien-sounding Scandolearic house beauty of 'Barchetta'. Prins Thomas' remix of 'Horizon', a slightly darker take with more jacking drums and echoing lead lines, is also predictably impressive.

Review: The latest Norwegian talent to join the Full Pupp family is Laars, a producer previously known for his involvement with Norse disco band Tog. The two tracks showcased here neatly fit into the Scandolearic blueprint, with Laars layering rising, blissfully Balearic synthesizer melodies over a chugging, arpeggio-style groove on brilliant opener "None". He flips the script a little on "LYSaR", clustering fizzing, intergalactic electronics, deep space riffs and jammed-out Clavinet lines around a rolling, cowbell and bongo heavy rhythm track. Willy Nickerson handles remix duties, first serving up a loose, dense, druggy and pitched-down interpretation of "None", before turning "LYSaR" into a spacey chunk of Afro-disco madness.

Review: Norwegian nu-disco dude Magnus International is back on local institution Full Pupp. Prins Thomas' label claims that he has earned his stripes in Oslo's disco scene. After a hiatus from recording, he donned the producer's cap resolutely for his debut LP, Echo to Echo in 2016. Now, Magnus' studio is open for business once again and these four tracks roll on into the world from Oslo's shores. The galloping, neon-lit groove of the title track (remixed in this case by Chmmr) really nails the Pupp sound to a tee, as does the driving and wonky techno (yes!) of the dynamic opener "Fluted Oval". We also had a fondness for the deeply ethereal and atmospheric slow burner "Mirepoix" which really closed out this impressive EP in bold fashion.

Review: Four very solid deep house cuts here from Oslo's Mats Frantzvaag. Aptly-titled opener 'Beginning' is a mid-paced groover with filtered synth sweeps and a vaguely disco-ish feel, and would sound fantastic combined with big speakers and sunshine. 'Annan Dag Versjon' is a more stripped-back affair centred around an understated rumbling b-line, crisp percussion and barely-there vocal snips, while 'Going There Someday' heads even deeper, with jazzual sax flourishes, before 'Bolgehouse' plays us out on a more contemplative, post-club kinda note. No big room drama here, just finely crafted grooves built for true house music lovers.

As with the other volumes, all four cuts are brand new productions from label regulars, and as per the label's MO generally, all four blur the boundaries between deep house and nu-disco, with Jarle Brathen's 'Vaguely Wavey' probably the pick for house floors, and Velferd's 'Returning' the one to head for if you're in search of some of that shimmer-y, sparkly 80s Euro flava.

Review: A most enigmatic producer, Pandreas is a name that surfaced in 2012 and not again until 2017. It was his Back 2 School EP on Full Pupp that brought the artist to attention again which happens once more with this Bulgaria EP. What makes this EP interesting is the release of its lead track "Bulgaria" in 'demo' form which Prins Thomas subtly refixes with two functional drums tracks to match the original's heavy percussion. Pandreas then reenters deep and slow-mo Balearic mode with "Looping Stade D'Originale" in an EP that has us once more intrigued by the sounds of Pandreas.

Review: It's time to hop aboard the Full Pupp Express once more. This time round, our drivers are SGurvin and Krass, two producers making their bow on Prins Thomas's long-running label. 'Subway Rails' lives up to its name, delivering a hypnotic, body-rattling ride full of whizzing percussion, moody riffs, rave-igniting electronics and jacking beats. The pair's love of dirty analogue basslines and mind-melting electronic motifs is explored further on the techno-tempo sweatiness of 'Trespassing', while 'Clouds Building Up' is an insanely fast, mind-bending stomp through pulsating, dark-room techno territory. If that's not enough to set the pulse racing, we also get a tidy Prins Thomas rework of 'Merging Flora' that adds ghostly synthesizer chords, broken computer electronics and spacey dub techno pads to a squelchy but driving groove.

Iben Elster is a relative newcomer to Norway's scene, but "Kong (Ibens Overdub)" is an alluring slice of dubbed out disco. Meanwhile, label owner Prins Thomas drops an acid-heavy, breakbeat-led take on Magnus International's "Sitronsyre" and Skatebard goes down a deep techno direction with "Bim Bam", where a rolling rhythm and snappy hi hats underpin floaty melodies. Wild Flowers' contribution is different again, as "Magic Johnson" drops a mysterious-sounding house groove that's redolent of classic Nu Groove.
