Jaeger Mix #040
April 2nd, 2017

Featuring on a double bill this past Sunday, Alex Jangle took on an episode of the Æmix before joining Det Gode Selskab and the guys, who took us into the early hours of the morning. Jangle’s Æmix starts in the reserved tempos of an early Sunday evening, opting for a sound that combines deep chords, quirky electronic instrumentals and percussive rhythms that shuffle through bars at a leisurely gate. Jangle’s selection reflects an experimentalist aptitude, where break beats live amongst alien sonic textures in expansive digital microcosms. 
With music from the likes of Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada Jangle creates a listening mix that lures the listener to otherworldly science fictional dimensions, where the music performs in its natural habitat. The crisp clicks of electronic machines expand in icy reverbs and delays to create entire sonic worlds for pure escapism, and in the context of the mix these tracks combine to form a completed universe, where these tracks emphasise and reflect on their individual charm amongst similar tracks and makes for a very expressive set from Alex Jangle.

Jaeger Mix #148
July 7th, 2019

Riding a wave from Berlin to Oslo, Alex Jangle arrived at Jaeger without even unpacking his record bag, bringing some of that Berlin “vibe” to our backyard last Sunday. Channeling some sonic echo from a stripped out bunker in the heart of the German capital, Alex Jangle transposed that spirit from clubland’s mecca to open up our Sunday night at Jaeger.

Jangle brings an intense energy to the Jaeger Mix this week with splashing hi hats, staccato keys, bold bass lines and a splattering of diva vocals throughout. Tracks informed by House music as it was in the nineties, bring an unbridled energy to this Jaeger mix, as Jangle coerces his audience on to the floor with large, pummelling beats and churning bass lines.

The Oslo DJ juggernaut and producer is no stranger to Jaeger and on his latest appearance for the jaeger mix series, he shows yet another side of the expansive musical universe that resides in his record bag. This latest mix is a long way from the trippy, broken-beat and ambient selection of tracks he played the last time he was here, finding some evocative thread to summer and indulging a corporeal dimension in his selections.

JM#148 - Alex Jangle

@alex-jangle and I met on a visit to Oslo, the last weekend of an intense vacation. Straight off many sleepless days, I barely made it to the party my hosts threw (previous LC guests @thorgerdur-johanna + @ag303norway) - but despite my exhaustion, whenever Alex played I couldn't help but get back in the groove! Since then, I've wanted to share this guy's style.

This time, our guest delves into a different side of his record bag, and we couldn't be happier with the result. It's no secret we like it weird, and Alex accomplishes this while keeping us fixated throughout - fluctuating masterfully between irregular percussion and spacey ambient sounds, with breaks and melodies out of left field. Enjoy this swervy session!
