about

Norway continues to throw up amazing disco producers and the new generation keep stepping up. Lakeshouse (formerly B0ka) have amazing production and chops with the dancefloor know-how to continue on the path forged by Erot, Bjørn Torske, Todd Terje and Lindstrøm.

The band arrive fully formed with a name based on a fictitious club-Utopia, dreamed up by a group of producers, DJs and jazz musicians based in Oslo and Malmö. Their idiosyncratic soundtrack to the fantasy club fits the Norwegian space disco legacy but sounds like it belongs to a scene of its own.

Ambulanse takes its influence from UK Garage with drums that swing like a mothertrucker, bouncing sub and synth stabs adding to the groove. The chorus 'køyr opp tempoet' literally means 'drive up the tempo' as the singer is not feeling too good and asking somebody to take him to hospital...fast!

Robåt ups the energy with a bouncing B line, 303 riff, nagging lead and synth flourishes that drive through pure floor dynamics.

Gjere Kva Du Vil is a driving peak time disco banger telling people they can do whatever they want to do. There are touches of italo and easy listening with swooping synths and interweaving melodies put through the unmistakable Norwegian wonk filter.

Finally Firkanta goes for the cosmic disco bulls eye and doesn't miss. Its as deep as your feet but packs a punch. It takes off in to space with its lead synth whilst riding the riff before things change up in the break and a drum solo that launches hands in the air.
