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!
