Coconuts, Hawaiian sunsets, tropicalia, Scandinavia, dolphins. Scandinavia? Yes, specifically Norway, home to Hans-Peter Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas, their respective record labels Feedelity and Full Pupp, as well as Todd Terje, Diskjokke, Mungolian Jetset, Blackbelt Andersen, Rune Lindbaek, and Dolle Jolle. Despite their distance from the Mediterranean (or any warm, even mildly tropical coast, for that matter), this well-acquainted group of Norwegian producers are among the best-known purveyors of music categorized as “nu-disco” – a blanket term that loosely covers the resurgence of space-disco, italo-disco, disco edits, balearic disco, and tropicalia, or any combination thereof. California duo Windsurf also fall into the category, and describe themselves as “nu-balearic-cosmic-disco-slow-mo-awesome-house”. Tongue-in-cheek, but probably as good a description as we can ask for.
