Astonishingly, 20 years have now passed since the release of Lindstrom’s It’s a Feedelity Affair compilation, a release that rounds up his output during a key point in the Norwegian producer’s career – and at a point when the eyes of the international dance music underground were fixed on Oslo, his adopted home city.
That included music journalists like myself. As I have written before, my mind was blown at the time by the distinctively cosmic ‘space disco’ sound Oslo was famous for at the time. In 2007, I headed over to the Norwegian city to profile the small, tight community behind the music – and its highest-profile artists, Lindstrom, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje – for an IDJ magazine cover feature. You can read that feature on this very website, and I’ve embedded a later mix of Norwegian dance music at the bottom of this post.
As I recently wrote in a contribution to Juno Daily’s regular Dusted Down column re-appraising reissued releases, It’s a Feedelity Affair was significant because it presented the collected musical vision – at that point in time, at least – of Oslo’s most internationally acclaimed electronic disco artist of the period. Hans-Peter Lindstrom was the first to break through more widely, and that was largely down to the success of his earliest releases on the Feedelity label – EPs such as his first outing as Six Cups of Rebel (‘It’s The Arps’), the impossibly epic ‘There’s a Drink in My Bedroom and I Need a Hot Lady’, early Prins Thomas hook-up ‘Further Into The Future’, the kraut-disco of ‘Limitations’, and, most famously, the throbbing, trance-inducing ‘I Feel Space’.
To mark the compilation’s 20th anniversary, Hans-Peter Lindstrom is releasing it – in remastered form – on vinyl for the first time. You can pre-order that from his Bandcamp store, Juno Records and many other fine independent outlets. It’s well worth copping.I thought it was time I caught up with Hans-Peter Lindstrom, many years after a fresh-faced me rolled up in Oslo and got excited about the community I encountered. Thankfully, Hans-Peter was kind enough to say yes and take some time out to have a chat. You can hear much of that conversation, which covers his early years, career development, last year’s back-to-his-roots album Sirius Symptoms, and much more besides, on the April 2026 edition of Join The Future on Noods Radio.
I’ve embedded the show below for ease of listening. Remember that you can check out previous shows via the audio page on this website, and via the JTF residents page on the Noods website.
