Even though Mathias Stubø was not born until the early '90s, his love and addiction for the '70s is stronger than the average '70s soul boy. 1979 is a year that stands out for him in his huge and ever growing record collection. The groove was on its way to the boogie. Funk on its way to fonk. The balance and friction between electronic and acoustic instruments was at its finest.

1979 is Stubø's heads up to a genre that pushed the boundaries of the disco era. This album is packed to the rafters with funky beats and stripped down tracks where the music and the beat takes centre stage.

For those that lived through the era, then this is a loving homage to the music - where Stubø gives the feeling a new, more modern slant.

This is a chilled out affair which, with tracks like 'Tenn På' will have a new generation dancing the funky night away.
