Oslo remains a fertile ground for neo-disco sounds, with Joachim Dyrdahl a.k.a. DiskJokke being the latest producer to join the ranks of Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje as Norway's most prominent representatives of the style. His releases on Full Pupp and Luna Flicks have so far steered clear of cosmic krautrock experiments however and aim straight for the dance- floor with a barrage of impelling beats and catchy melodies.

The Maxi-Single 1987
was picked!
The Maxi-Single 1987
was reviewed:
Another sweet slice of Norwegian disco from DiskJokke and Prins Thomas, who delivers a great club-ready 'Diskomiks' of 1987, leaving the cosmic escapades to DiskJokke this time, and his trippy 'Takt Raver'. Hamburg housers Ost & Kjex contribute a mix of 'Interpolations' as well. Recommended.
