2009 release. This is the debut album by Norway's Ytre Rymden Dansskola aka Marius Våreid and Jarle Bråthen. This pair first came to light on Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas' "Essential Mix" for BBC Radio1 and from there joined the Full Pupp family and saw their debut single for the imprint in 2007. The act name, though seemingly unpronounceable, apparently means "Outer Space Dance School," an appropriate moniker for a pair who seem to have mastered the cosmic sound of the future. A real breath of fresh air in a world of same-y electronic productions, Våreid and Bråthen themselves describe their music as "deep-sea-diving, tropical island/cosmic/space/contemporary disco," and they're right -- this is warm, engaging and slightly surreal music in every sense. From opening cut "1001 Natt" with its unexpected time signature and hypnotic analog synth-work to the dub-infused closer "Over Og Ut," there is a rich diversity here that keeps you hooked. Previous Full Pupp singles "Kjappfot" with its wondrous deep house elements and "Afterski" with its uplifting string stabs are certainly highlights, but there are no lulls in this album's sonic soundscape, with each track bringing something new and inspiring to the table. For every aspiring "nu-disco" producer out there, it would seem that there are lessons to be learned from the Outer Space Dance School.

"This is yet another newcomer hailing from the remote region of Telemark. As a taster for a forthcoming album (and solo 12"s by both these guys) this time around, it's the pairing of Prins Thomas' long-time friend Marius Våreid and his partner Jarle Bråthen who steps into the light. No need to say much about this but we might be sitting on the most anticipated Full Pupp in a while. When head honcho Prins Thomas dropped this on his and Lindstrøm's recent Essential Mix, it caused a bursting inbox with requests about release date. A nice little low-slung house track with just a sprinkling of disco. Just like we like it. In a perfect world, this would be a universal floor filler, with its cute little brass hook and smooth pads."

Title:	Bange Anelser
Label:	FULL PUPP (NORWAY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	FP 023EP

"The first of 2 planned 12" samplers to come out from Ytre Rymden Dansskola's debut album. 'Bange Anelser' appears in a slightly longer edit done by yours truly and on the B-side you'll get the remix from hotly tipped production team Frisvold & Lindbæk. It took us a few years to involve dear Mr. Lindbæk (Rune) but it was worth the wait. Trippy disko at its most... eh... trippy? Anyway, a dubby delight 'Kahluha Madness' and 'U Sving' appear in original version from the album, both personal favourites which we just HAD to have on vinyl." -- Thomas Oslo
