Prins Thomas, the Scandinavian record producer perhaps best known for his collaborations with fellow Norwegian Lindstrøm, is inspired by the brief love affair disco shared with sci-fi, that fleeting moment in the late '70s where the exclusive province of the nerdy somehow managed to hold sway over the denizens of both the basement and the dance floor. Hearkening back to this magical era, Thomas' music sounds like he's constantly reworking these ideas in search of the perfect soundtrack to the original Battlestar Galactica, his stark motorik beats seemingly future-proofed in preparation of a robot-dominated dystopia. Tonight, his set is preceded by Jerome Derradji, whose penchant for interspersing left-field cuts into his deep house sets has earned him a loyal local following.
