"The Sagara project began life in 2009 when Diskjokke was commissioned to create a one off piece for top Norwegian festival Øya. He was given free reign as to what this project might entail, & encouraged to travel almost anywhere to find the right people to work with. He researched the Indonesian Gamelan tradition, & reached out to a group called Sambasunda (led by Ismit Rutchimat). Diskjokke then spent two weeks in Bandung, Java, staying in their studio recording traditional instruments, sounds & ideas. Written, produced and recorded in Oslo, many of the sounds on Sagara were recorded various places in Indonesia, like the crickets from the Bandung jungle, the waves of Bali, etc."

Joachim Dyrdahl aka Diskjokke returns to Full Pupp with "Takt Raver," a shiny example of his melodic, epic yet jacking style, where almost fragile melodic fragments, stomping grooves, simmering acid lines and air-horns magically gel together. Prins Thomas takes us on a space walk with his psychedelic remix of "1987," and Ost & Kjex's remix of "Interpolations" is a jerky, crunchy Afrobeat-styled funker with earthy house chords and a well-rounded finish of tangy acid lines and hints of bitter-sweet melodies.

"At once hypnotic, stomping and futuristic, this record maintains their trippy, epic prog-disco aesthetic without sacrificing melody or subtlety. The album flows like a journey in sound, with each song seamlessly drifting into the next. The album, recorded and entirely self-produced in Diskjokke's new studio, draws its inspiration from Holger Czukay's mid-'80s period, Brian Eno, Arthur Russell, European disco, Alan Parsons, Tangerine Dream, Arthur Lyman and Craig Leon."

"We once again welcome back Diskjokke to the motherpupp after a successful run of releases on Smalltown Supersound and Kindisch. 2008 was a hectic year for Joachim, putting together his live band, doing remixes for Metronomy, Foals and Lykke Li to name a few and spreading melodic, trance-inducing feel good disko gospel around the world. 'Asa Nisi Masa' has been causing much mayhem the last 12 months, even causing girls to offer me services I won't mention here. Wibbly wobbly arpeggios massaging your buttocks. Very, very rude indeed as already showcased on the Full Pupp/Greatest Tits Compilation, 'Cearadactylus' is definitely a different kind of beast. Slow and chugging along at a tempo even fit for dinosaurs."

"Staying In, diskJokke's debut release, is a tripped out mastodon of an album. This is the sound of Norwegian disco taken to its farthest, futuristic limits. It's epic, groovy, cinematic, poppy & most of all, melodic. But at the same time, it is melancholic, and as the title suggests, staying inside the dark winter & autumn nights to make music certainly reflects the mood of the album. For years, diskJokke has been closely connected to Norway's premiere club night, Sunkissed, where he is resident DJ with G-HA, Olanskii & VinnyVillbass."
