Thorsteinssøn is the Iceland-born-Denmark-bred Gunnar Thor Viggosson, better known as one half of 76 79 with Tommy Vicari Jnr and boss man at Comfortable Records and Vanity - Although now he can be called the man behind the first Pets album of 2016. Deliciously cosmic and cheerily schizophrenic, Academy Of Heroes is inspired by a brilliant creative project Thorsteinssøn practiced during his years living in Amsterdam: Solar Industry Radio - A project that would begin with a made up artist or band name in styles ranging from cosmic funk, Scandinavian disco to noise collages of the galaxies. A joyously backwards project that inspired a rich rainbow of styles, the content was then represented 24/7 online, collaged with strange jingles and sci-fi snippets. Returning to those creations, Thorsteinssøn and Pets have weaved together a full album that cherry picks from his thunderous proliferation: from the strutting west coast deep house of "1976" to the introverted electro boogie of "N:M:T:F:R" by way of the poignant chords of "Untitled Disco Six", the wry acid wriggles of "Channel DISQ" and the Trans Am twinkles of "Beneath A Steel Sky". This collection of 14 tracks act as an immersive, timeless collage. A smorgasbord of synthetic exploration, rich in sci-fi, space and robotic sympathy, pieced together with the same spirit of his cult radio transmissions. It works just as well on the cans as it does in the dance.

PETS 071EP
|
With Thorsteinssøn's Academy Of Heroes (PETS 072LP) album on the horizon, Pets Recordings precede the release with a trio of remixes. First up is London's Ashworth. "Sixtrak Blues" is the track of choice with Ashworth harnessing the originals dreamy vibe and adding a punchy guitar driven groove. Gerd steps up under his Geeeman guise, with a rework of "Sammy". Keeping the acidic melody, the Dutchman replaces the original's loose drums with a raw, kickass rhythm of his own. Berlin's Cab Drivers add a driving drum pattern turns the original slo-mo groover "Midnight At Taffey's", into a stellar swinging workout.
