Inspector Norse

Terje wrote and produced it in 2011, using only the ARP 2600 synthesizer. It was one of four tracks on the EP It's the Arps (Olsen, digital and 12-inch from January 16, 2012, with "Myggsommer" and both parts of "Swing Star"), whose title refers to the instrument; Resident Advisor reviewed that EP on January 13, 2012. Wikipedia gives June 19, 2012 for the single, on Smalltown Supersound, at 6:40 with a 3:47 radio edit, and 6:59 on the album, where it is track 12. A Point Blank breakdown says it was built on an ARP 2600, with the drums programmed first, then a bouncy bassline, chords, arpeggios and melodies. Resident Advisor's Will Lynch praised a soaring melody seared into your memory the next day, and a moment about three and a half minutes in when the whole thing gradually swells and then pops.

It reached nine on the Flanders Ultratip chart and 88 in the Netherlands. Mixmag named it the top tune of 2012 and Resident Advisor its second-best track. Stereogum's Peter Helman calls it Terje's most famous track, one of the best party jams of all time, and says it closes the album because there's really no other place for it. The video, uploaded on June 19, 2012 on Pitchfork's channel, reuses a section of Kristoffer Borgli's short film Whateverest. Remixes by Justin Van Der Volgen and Pepe Bradock followed in 2015. He closed his 2014 Oya Festival headline set with it. We found no verified covers or samples, and cannot say which version our upload is.
