Prins Thomas marks 15 years of Full Pupp with five-part compilation
While the Norwegian mainstay has a hand in a number of labels—such as Internasjonal, Rett i Fletta and Horisontal Mambo—with Full Pupp he focuses on Norwegian artists. The five-part compilation, which will be released in instalments starting this month, includes the likes of Doc L Junior, DJ Fett Burger, Skatebård, Mental Overdrive, Telephones and Bjørn Torske, to name a few.
“For the compilation I sent out invitations to not only previously contributing artists but also some new names and friends that I’ve wanted to release for a while,” Thomas told RA. “I finally got a track from Bjørn Torske after the initial invite more than 15 years ago.”
We also asked the Full Pupp boss how Norway, a country of five-and-half million people whose largest city, Oslo, holds 700,000, has been able to consistently produce internationally-lauded talent.
“I believe that the lack of a proper ‘electronic music’ industry here during the ’90s and ’00s means the music got off to a good start and evolved in a natural way based on individual wants and needs rather than living up to a legacy,” he said. “With Full Pupp it’s pretty much been a family affair most of the way with older artists introducing us to new and as we’re a small country, if you don’t know someone then you’ll certainly know someone that does.”
All of the EPs will come on 12-inch and digital except for FPXX15, which will come out exclusively on digital September 15th. For full details check out the tracklists and release dates below.
