With London’s Doc’n Roll festival now in full swing, we’ve got an exclusive clip from Northern Disco Lights: The Rise and Rise of Norwegian Dance Music. The feature-length film explores how the country went from being “known for oil, reindeer, Vikings and the Northern Lights” to the intergalactic dance grooves of underground figures like Bjørn Torske, Lindstrøm, Annie, Idjut Boys, and Prins Thomas. It’ll be premiered this Saturday at 9 p.m., followed by a Q&A with director Ben Davis and DJ sets from Torske and Mental Overdrive.
Have a look below; we’ve also included some screen shots, a new Torske mix, and trailers from most of the week’s other movies, including a look at recent Needle Exchange highlight The Orb…
