Prins Thomas Lines Up Album Launch Ekstravaganza

• 3rd Mar 2010

After November’s Ekstravaganza truly lived up to its name with a rare London set from nu-disco legend Lindstrom, Corsica Studios and Full Pupp come together once more to host the launch party for Prins Thomas’ debut solo album.

Intrinsically linked to the ‘cosmic-disco’ sound that has spread out from his native Norway to dominate clubs worldwide, Thomas has already been responsible for two of the scene’s best albums, both recorded with longtime studio partner Hans Peter Lindstrom.

Recorded straight after the sessions for the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas II album, the eponymously titled release is a sumptuous set of seven sprawling, ever-evolving, head-nodding, navel-gazing, body-moving, mind-mushing tracks perfectly assembled for an hour-long trip.

Embarking on a world tour to promote the album, Thomas has once again hand picked a lineup featuring some of the most respected DJs and producers from around the world to join him at his only UK residency at Corsica Studios, recently voted Britain’s best small club in DJ Magazine.

In the main room alongside Thomas you’ll find fellow Norwegian and Full Pupp star Espen Haa, and playing live Hamburg’s Tensnake, currently setting dancefloors on fire with the ridiculously good Coma Cat 12”.

In the back room the international hook up continues with the weird and wonderful sounds of London duo Psychemagik, Dubby, the boss of Feldman Records and buyer for Tokyo’s legendary Cisco Records and Berlin’s Hunee, another protégé of Thomas on his Internasjonal label.

Just another weekend in Elephant & Castle…
