Mid- January; reasons to be optimistic. We are halfway what can be a long and miserable month (although having got through November and December, January has felt like a relief for me this year, a definite sense of stepping through a door and leaving the end of last year and all its anniversaries behind us). Christmas and New Year seem seem a distant memory. There are a couple of minutes of extra daylight every day. When I walked to the car park at work at four thirty last Friday it was still daylight, just about. There are some green daffodil shoots in the garden. In two weeks we'll be in February and spring will be on the horizon.
Some positive music to celebrate with. This track, cosmic Scandi- house from Oslo, dates from 2017 and was released on Prins Thomas' Full Pupp label, a label he set up to focus solely on Norwegian talent. Laars, the artist behind this 12", is Lars Christian and this is seven minutes of delightful, happy/ sad cosmic Scandi- house. It kicks off with a chunky, chuggy rhythm, some big distorto synth bass and any number of twinkling melody lines dancing about on top, builds beautifully for several minutes, breaks down in the middle in a lovely way and then brings it all back, wiggy and insistent. Makes me think Oslo must be a great place for a party.

As soon as you mention Full Pupp my mind jumps to this, None.
Such a warm little (fluffy) groover it is too.
Our Andy or Sean would drop it for ALFOS?
Yes TheWalker, played at various ALFOS escapades in 2017 including Convenanza at Sete- according to those present, a bit of a moment.
A very decent tune.....not one I'd heard before. Thank you!!!!
