Artist:	TERJE, TODD
Title:	Mjøndalen Diskoklubb
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FP 001EP

2005 release. "Todd aka Terje Olsen hails from Mjøndalen, as in Mjøndalen Diskoklubb, but there's actually nothing clubby about that place. Studying astrophysics and being a DJ was only ever going to end in one way: space disco! Todd Terje's 'Bodies' was Terje's first release, (although it was remixed by Prins Thomas). It rocked DJs worldwide with its infectious bassline and Prins' disco drums, but Terje has many tricks up his own sleeve with some cheeky remixes on Swedish label GAMM, backed by his own cover version of Kitty Winter's 'New Morning.' And he's currently working on a remix of Snuten's 'Claws Against Knives (Wild And Free).' One thing Terje did wish he could do is to make a non-stop disco soundtrack about a German safari-team in space....'I wish I had more time producing music, but studying astrophysics takes time too!' I think we should help Terje to make his dream come true. German-safari-porn-in-space anybody?"

Artist:	PRINS THOMAS
Title:	Goettsching - Blackbelt Anderson Rmx.
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FP 003EP

"When Manuel Goettsching of German Krautrock luminaries Ashra Temple switched on his sequencer in 1981 and just improvised with synth and guitar for 60 minutes mainly to have some soothing sounds for his own pleasure during a plain flight, he couldn't dream that his E2-E4 would not only become one of the major single influences for Detroit techno but still influence a horde of crazy disco Norwegians to pay tribute another two decades down the line. Well, daddy don't you know that things go in circles! His royal highness Prins Thomas first tricks you onto your dancing feet with a solid percussive disco groove before wrapping your head with gentle gliding synthclouds that are reminiscent of the original's repetitive layers -- before things go too cosy he unleashes the bassline that grows into an acidic monster -- nasty. Black Belt Andersen attacks the theme more in a swift ninja stealth mode: over a thumping funk beat he spreads out the sweet synth melodies and effect-laden guitar lines and lets them blossom into full beauty -- stunning!"

Artist:	TERJE, TODD
Title:	Eurodans
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FP 004EP

"What a year it's been for Terje Olsen one minute he's studying hard in Oslo the next week half of the globe wants him in their club at the weekend! I have heard so many good things said about 'Eurodans' that I really don't think writing anymore spiel about will do it justice. It needs to be played to be believed. It's like the cartoon company Acme making a tin of 'Acme instant dancefloor filler' for the roadrunner. Playing 'Eurodans' is like a full dancefloor in a minute. But 'Eurodans' is not the only gem as Terje also delivers on the other side. He spoils us with the aptly titled 'Italian Stallion' an excellent homage to the land of sunglasses, fast cars and Speedos, Baldelli would be proud of this one. Raise your glasses to this success."

Title:	Fehrara
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FP 005EP

"Norway and no end.... thank god! Oslo-based producer and DJ Thomas M. Hermansen aka Prins Thomas is solely responsible for this new masterpiece on Full Pupp Recordings and, my friends outside, Fehrara is one of the most thrilling records of the season! The A-side starts with this kind of very popular disco sound Full Pupp stands for... amazing! The flip brings us a deep and groovy neo-disco-acid tune -- a perfect track for a hot and neverending club night! Epilogue: after sunrise, nearly everybody decided -- the audience were swept off their feet!"

Artist:	BLACKBELT ANDERSEN
Title:	Alfaz De Pi
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FP 007EP

"After his much applauded tribute to Manuel Göttsching, Norwegian martial arts grand wizard Blackbelt Andersen returns with another deadly sample of his secret technique: the main cut 'Alfaz De Pi' molds the ancient styles of cowbell driven space disco and ruff acid into a powerful weapon for dancefloor action. 'Sandoz' overwhelms in a more gentle way with its sweeping Balearic chords and the melancholic melody while the Prins Thomas edited 'Snake Eyes' hands out some hard capoeira-style slaps. Surely one of the most crushing releases on Full Pupp so far."

Artist:	MENTAL OVERDRIVE
Title:	Spooks
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FP 008EP

"Mental Overdrive is Norway's Per Martenson, famous since 1990 for his productions on Belgian superlabel R&S, Music Man, Discfunction, Smalltown Supersound, Virgin and his own Love OD Communications imprint out of Norway. Prins Thomas has long been a fan and snapped up the chance to release 'Spooks' and the tasty flipside track 'Original Material' in a flash." Here's what IDJ Magazine had to say: 'Mental Overdrive (former techno boffin Per Martinsen) back and in fine fettle. 'Spooks' is an equally jolly six minutes of lolloping funk which sees a fat, rounded bassline trundling along the fjords while some of Bjørn Torske's synth loops pass overhead. 'Original Material' is highly enjoyable too, coming on like some long-lost Scandinavian cousin of ESG's 'Moody'."

Artist:	RANDABERG EGO ENSEMBLE
Title:	Vestamaran
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FP 010EP

"A stone cold new Norwegian artist (hey maybe he's not that new but at least he hides his heritage pretty well) serving stone cold crystal clear and electronic blissed nuova disco full of tension and energetic bliss. There's lots of changes in those tracks and splendid drum play keeps the atmosphere vital. Wicked for both disco and techno crowds! This is part 2 of a 2 EP series and includes an added Prins Thomas mix. FP 009EP is number 1."

Artist:	YTRE RYMDEN DANSSKOLA
Title:	Kjappfot
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	FP 011EP

"This is yet another newcomer hailing from the remote region of Telemark. As a taster for a forthcoming album (and solo 12"s by both these guys) this time around, it's the pairing of Prins Thomas' long-time friend Marius Våreid and his partner Jarle Bråthen who steps into the light. No need to say much about this but we might be sitting on the most anticipated Full Pupp in a while. When head honcho Prins Thomas dropped this on his and Lindstrøm's recent Essential Mix, it caused a bursting inbox with requests about release date. A nice little low-slung house track with just a sprinkling of disco. Just like we like it. In a perfect world, this would be a universal floor filler, with its cute little brass hook and smooth pads."
