An EP by Kolbjørn Lyslo, under the alias Doc L Junior, who has also been involved with Those Norwegians (Paper Recordings)—pioneers of the Norwegian scene—and has released music on Rune Lindbæk’s label, Drum Island. “Footnotes” was the name of a label under the “Telle” umbrella, where Bjorn Torske served as A&R. Although a test pressing of this EP was produced by “Footnotes” in 2001, the release never materialized due to reasons such as the loss of the master. However, However, after SOTOFETT discovered the tape at Helmut Erler’s studio, they released it as a 12-inch on Sex Tags Mania in 2009 under the title “Footnotes 3”—a title that was originally intended for a MATRIX release. The A-side samples the OHIO PLAYERS, and the B-side, “Baracuda,” would go on to be played on countless dance floors. This is a remaster from MR FONK’s “All That Jelly,” which has been handling reissues of ’90s and ’00s house music. (Saito)

『This record is like the lost crown jewels of House Music with a story that spans decades.

Originally programmed in 1998 on an Akai S3000XL, this was meant to be released on Bjørn Torske's Footnotes in 2001. Unfortunately the original matrix and the master DAT tapes got lost under crazy circumstances. Yet several years later the tapes were found by Sex Tags Mania in the studio of mastering engineer Helmut Erler and the record eventually got issued in 2009 when a totally different House sound was "en vogue."
Then due to some unfortunate coincidences most of the records ended up in far flung Japan, and so this record stayed totally underground. Yet it became a cult hit when House Music and later Disco got a proper revival around 2010/11. So over the years prices for this rarity were rising and rising...

Then fast forward to 2025: after a sunny day off Berlin's modular synthesizer show "Superbooth" ATJ boss Mr. Fonk and Doc L. Junior teamed up to finally reissue this gem with new masters by Andreas Kauffelt of "Schnittstelle" / Berlin. On this 12“ Norwegian Disco and Balearic sounds meet: funky but deep to the core, playful but hypnotic, stripped down but with baroque details. Truly one of House Music's greatest productions.
