Rune Lindbaek 1997 DJ Mix

Paper Recordings chum and mad professor Rune Lindbaek has found a mix from back in the day so GET IT HERE

I’ll let him explain!

I almost never make mixtapes but I made this one to my very good friend DJ Robin Jackson on a DAT in the legendary hot summer of 1997. We both had completely, utterly forgotten about this until it resurfaced tonight!

It’s a collection of some of the biggest tunes for me at that time, semi-sloppy and hazy ‘white widow’ mixed in the first take, containing a healty dose of Harvey, Idjuts and friends, Those Norwegians and my first solo 12″,  that I often played at places like Skansen, Jazid and Headon etc. in Oslo but also when guesting Sankys Soap and Roundhouse in Manchester – and Plastic People in London. These kind of tunes was also the basis for Klubb Kebabb (1999-2001).

I’m really glad Robin found this mixtape. Please push in the loudness button and play it loud!!

Paper Recordings has a long standing connection with Norway’s musical output, dating back to the label’s release of the seminal ‘Kaminsky Park’ by Those Norwegians in 1997. The label helped create a template for the Norwegian sound with its off-kilter beats, organic soul and giddy electronics and from the ashes of Those Norwegians rose Torbjorn Buntland who went on to form Royksopp and leftfield pioneer Rune Lindbæk who released ‘Sondag’ on our sister label Repap.

The series will draw on the best electronic music to showcase the modern Norwegian disco sound, featuring brand new tracks by established and up-and-coming producers. The first EP kicks off with this three tracker from Ralph Myerz, KeyBoy and Ciscoe accompanied by specially commissioned artwork by illustrator Joe Lobley.

The EP opens with Ralph Myerz ‘My Dream Queen’, a superb slice of slo-mo disco tinged house with warm melodies and ethereal vocals that go to show why Myerz has been such an important musical influence over the last decade.

Next up KeyBoy deliver ‘OYB’, a follow up to their hugely popular ‘Viva Blue’ from last year. It’s an intense techno / disco fusion which marries deep soulful melodies with tough analogue sounds providing a brilliant cut that is perfect tackle for soundsystems and home listening alike.

Finally we have newcomer Ciscoe (The Treatment) who turns in a lower tempo slab of 80’s influenced electronics cum disco. Beautifully arranged and bristling with an edgy soul this is a great piece of music and perfect closing opus to this wonderful package.
