Norwegian firebrands Lakeshouse are back with a second taster of future disco from their forthcoming Paper Recordings album.
Renates Dans is a leftfield wobbler with elements of Italo, techno, house, classical and pop, serving up a fresh slice of dancefloor dynamite. An elastic arpeggiated bass, a popping 303, descending synths and strings, plus a tasty dose of Norwegian wonkiness over impeccable production make this a unique take on modern disco.
Crazy P’s Hot Toddy brings the heat with a heads down, peak time banger that strips back the bass, adds bubbling arps, jacking drums and dynamic use of the chord progression to take it onto the main floor.
Underground Norwegian hero Martin Horntveth, best known for Jaga Jazzist aka Gouldian Finch, takes a trip to outer space. His remix is free jazz, techno and ambient cooking up a stew of electronic psychedelia unlike anything else.

"Hot Toddy Mix is amazing! Proper rolling epic!"
Tigerbalm
"Love the Hot Toddy remix will defo slip that in some festival disco sets!"
Colleen 'Cosmo’ Murphy
"I love the Hot Toddy Remix"
Kraak & Smaak
"Quirky cool, maybe even the new ‘Popcorn’ ;)"
Tommy Castro - Our Starry Universe
"This release is a total package. Nice peak-time face-melting OG mix. Under the right conditions, the reaction must be nuts. Nice one. Then we get the goods from Hot Toddy, focusing the groove like only they can into a throbbing, hypnotic NuDisco ooze. Total fire. Goudian Finch's mix takes us down the rabbit hole with cavernously dramatic wonk for those hyperbolic moments of joyous madness, Aces y'all"
Soul Clap
"The original has a real late 70s downtown NYC disco thing going on a la Arthur Russell meets modern Euro kitsch with epic forward-thinking drum programming, and the Hot Toddy remix is classic chugging modern Italo disco. "
Kerem Gokmen / Wyep Pittsburgh
"That bonkers remix Gouldian Finch is easily in my top five remixes of 2025. There’s so much going on there over the course of five minutes, I’m left in awe"
Marcia Carr
"These are great!"
