When Afrika Bambaata sampled Kraftwerk, he also gave birth to the Boys Of Scandinavia. Boys play electro-funk how it's meant to be played, but it's their songs that leave DFA and others struggling to catch up. A studio-based collective, hailing from Helsinki, Finland, Boys Of Scandinavia make dark disco sounds, where the bassline is the mainline.
Like Liquid Liquid remixing early New Order, the bass bubbles, the guitar scratches and the vibe is a decadent disco hidden deep underground. This is house music for people who don't see the sun, 21st century No Wave all the way from the darkest depths of Scandinavia.
Boys Of Scandinavia bridge the gap between post-punk and electro-funk. Already making noise on the underground, their time is about to come.
"The resulting nouveau disco jams should appeal equally to punk-funkers, purists and fans of the the Smiths..." XLR8R
"Worse Than A Girl'is a return to the original days of death disco." Drowned In Sound
"Top tunes: Boys of Scandinavia 'Worse Than A Girl'." Migmag
"Stand-out track 'Worse Than A Girl' sounds like The Smiths produced by The DFA." NME
