Full Pupp's Greatest Tits

This one’s been out for about three weeks and I’ve been meaning to get to it, and now I have. Prins Thomas is a Norwegian producer who purveys cosmic and Balearic vibes, and is a disc jockey of some note. With the help of Steve Kotey of Chicken Lips, he runs the Full Pupp label, which features some top notch Norwegian, retro futurist disco bidness. Yes all the artists featured on this collection are from Norway, and you thought that Norway was all about oil rigs, fishing and fjords. How wrong you were, it seems that Prins Thomas’s homeland — reportedly a pretty laid back place — is also a haven for ridiculously talented producers and djs, who like nothing more than re-inventing the heady classics of past dance floors for the modern club set. Prins Thomas, Lindstrøm and Todd Terje all hail from Norway and these three have made an indelible mark on dance music over the last three years.

The Greatest Tits Volume One is a two-disc collection, featuring a mixed disc, courtesy of Prins Thomas, and a second, unmixed disc. Both highlight the work of this prolific label which has been in demand since its first release by Todd Terje in 2005. The music on here is a hi-brid of disco, Cosmic classics, Italo, funk and old school Ibiza/Balearic gems. The focus is on dancing for sure, but at a tempo that isn’t breakneck, in fact by the time you reach the third tune “Sandoz” by Blackbelt Andersen, you might just want to stop for a second to think about just how pretty it is. Ditto for the rest of the compilation, because even though it is all synthy and danceable, it also dreamy and lush, making it the perfect choice for home listening, discerning dance floors and inspired early morning dj sets. Scoop it when you see it.
