Longtime Paper artist and Reykjavík resident Gauti Björnsson has been digging through his archives and has uncovered four absolute crackers from his retired B.G. Baarregaard alias. “Down and Under” delivers trippy main room deep house with driving beats and bass. “Feels Like,” featuring Simen Aasen, presents a heavy nu disco groove ideal for various settings, layered with captivating keys and vocals. The two parts of Eternal Affection change gear into downtempo territory. Part I brings to mind the era of Kruder & Dorfmeister’s K & D Sessions and the Thievery Corporation. Deep, dubby and trippy. Part II drops the tempo even further but increases the wonk. It’s the sound of the sun starting to come through the curtains after a big night out.

"Wow, love this, what a package, 'Feels Like' is a slice of damn funky house, and the mysterious EA is made for the Balearic Beaches at dusk"
Sean Brosnan - Future Disco
"Sounds a bit like paper of 20 or more years ago"
Santiago Rionda - Picotropico
