Norwegian disco maestro and Full Pupp boss Prins Thomas returns with a new solo album called “Principe Del Norte”, and it’s an ambient one. Slated for release on February 19 through Smalltown Supersound, the nine-track record spans four slabs of vinyl and follows his recent 57-track “Paradise Goulash” mix for Eskimo Recordings.
According to the man himself, a few tracks were loosely inspired by the “braindance”, aka IDM of the 90’s and its themes and components have been reworked into slightly more “danceable” counterparts. “I set off on the task at hand, making an ‘ambient’ album, leaving conventional drums and drum machines out of the equation.” Our first taste from the forthcoming album comes in the form of “B”, a spaced-out 12-minute tune.
