Paper Disco

Seminal UK house label Paper Recordings started in the mid-90s and was part of the Nu Brit House movement that spawned the likes of 20 20 Vision and Nuphonic, going on to help re-define UK club culture.
Since it's re-launch in 2007 the BPMs have dropped and the grooves have got deeper with a more varied funk fuelled sound. A new stable of artists that features the likes of Flash Atkins, Sleazy McQueen, Leon Sweet, 2 Billion Beats and Richard Seaborne are keeping the legacy alive and looking to the future rather than living on past glories.
And now they are launching Paper Disco with an album by Norwegian disco prodigy Proviant Audio. Still only 22, multi-instrumentalist Mathais Stubø has already had two albums out on BBE and is part of the new generation of Scandanavian producers, following on from the likes of Lindstrom and Todd Terje.
His Paper album of 2012, Real Love Tastes Like This! cracked the Norwegian charts and found fans with the likes of Ross Allen, Wolf + Lamb, The Revenge, and Ashley Beedle. Plain and Simple Magazine said 'this debut is so overwhelming, it's difficult to imagine anyone not falling devastatingly head over heels for the soundtrack it provides.' 6/6'.
Proviant Audio's first single Like Never Before stirs up the spirits of Daft Punk, Trevor Horn and Greg Wilson in to a heady mixture of forward thinking, genre busting disco. Released as a 7' edit in association with Oslo Records, it kickstarts Paper Disco straight out of the past and in to the cosmos!

Folkemusikk
Lov - (6:12) 136 BPM
Review: Given the label's historic links to Norway - not least their offshoot film division's brilliant "Northern Disco Lights" documentary on the country's space disco scene - it's perhaps not unsurprising that Paper Recordings continues to champion fresh Norwegian talent. Lakeshouse fit into this category. "Folkemusikk" marks the second time the collective of "DJs, artists and jazz musicians" has appeared on the imprint. They begin with the brilliant title track, where funky acid motifs, rushing synth solos and fluid electronics rise above a chugging electronic disco groove, before doffing a cap to early Norwegian house acts on the jaunty romp "Papaya". "NRK" is a drowsy and eccentric slo-mo head-nodder rich in tumbling electronic melodies, while "Lov" is a deliciously Scandolearic soundscape full of tipsy trumpets that's perfect for sofa-bound post-club moments.
