Paul Berrington joins us once again. Tonight he's taking a look at Space Disco. In the early '00s, the term became associated with a group of producers based in Norway, whose take on house music featured many elements common to space disco - vocoded vocals, cosmic synths and looping basslines. Today we focus on Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje, yet it is just the tip of a very enjoyable body of work that has evolved over the years to incorporate Krautrock, folk, ambient and more.
