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 further down the page.
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. It will be broadcast at 15:00 BST on Wednesday 22nd April 2026 via the Noods Radio website, and then be available to stream on demand afterwards.Naturally, the show also contains some choice picks from Hans-Peter’s catalogue of productions and remixes (including one which, he thinks, I am the only fan of!)
