A fulcrum point to the weekend, Jæger Mix offers the dancer a resolute conclusion, or a brand new start – depending on your perspective – with resident Ivaylo, programming the two-hour journey into the deepest echelons of club music. Joined by a new guest every week, Jaeger Mix will feature some of the best, established and nascent talents from an international club community, for an exclusive mix that will put a unique spin on our Sunday evenings.
Jæger Mix is about the seamless transitions and how that connection extends beyond the music and the DJ to the people on the floor, with the focus on downtempo, progressive and deep; and it’s various interpretations. We extend the connection even further into the digital realm each week, giving mixes the opportunity to live outside the here and now, with every recorded session available afterwards for you to re-live the experience or just to meander into a new musical personality through a selection of records.

Jaeger Mix #190
November 9th, 2022

It’s been a minute since we’ve had any news from Olefonken on these pages, and that’s a minute too long. The drummer, producer, synth wizard, label owner and DJ, is a constant source of new music, whether from himself, his band Hubbabubbaklubb, his DJ sets, or his label, Snorkel and even though we might not have heard much from him recently, he’s still crafting and facilitating good music. It’s like the old adage, if a tree falls in the woods and there’s no-one to hear it, does it make a sound. Yes it does and just like that you can be guaranteed, that Olefonken is tinkering on some project as I type this.

Since we last had Olefoken on these pages, he’s re-issued his classic record, Ubuntu Tutu, put out an entire LP of Hubba remixes and a host of new music from his table of Snorkel residents. We haven’t had him in the booth as often as in the past,  but in that he is still a unique presence in Oslo.

For this edition of the Jaeger mix, he takes us deep into the night, with a mix that builds on the energy of each track, as he pursues the dance floor. Those melodic strains of his own music follows enigmatic channels to other musical territories. From balearic isles to squirmy IDM and towards high energy House, Olefonken traces a unique path through his record collection.

It’s time to catch up with Olefonken as we sink into this mix.

JM214 - Ole HK & Normann

Edvard Normann and Ole HK (Henrik Kristiansen) have been fixtures at Jaeger. Every Thursday they swing the door open to the sauna as the pre-party to the weekend commences with reckless abandonment on a night called Helt Texas, appropriately. 

For the last two years they’ve established a sound and a community around the night with regular DJ bookings, the odd international guest and a crowd that unceasingly succumbs to the dance floor every week. 

As DJs Ole and Edvard’s dance cards are practically full every week, and while Ole is exclusively a DJ (for the time being), Edvard also works as a songwriter and producer for some prominent artists in Norway’s music scene.  

Together they’ve established one of the best Thursday night outings in Oslo, and in this latest edition of the Jaeger mix, they bring the sound of the night to life across two hours. Between minimal grooves and tunnelling progression Ole and Edvard establish a palpable mood in their mix. 

Glistening at the top end and swelling at the lower registers, there’s a fluidity between tracks that pulses with a dedicated rhythm throughout. Through a big system it envelopes and it coerces people to the dance floor in a true representation of a Helt Texas night. They call it “sexy, groovy and sophisticated club music” and in this mix they lay it all on the table for us

Ornella has been a fixture in Oslo’s clubbing scene since before she was a DJ. A regular presence on the dance floors of Villa and Jaeger, Ornella eventually made the leap to the other side of the booth, encouraged by peers that had seen a nascent talent. 

Her presence on dance floors are still consistent, but in recent years she’s been orchestrating it, rather than participating in it. Known for sets that cultivate mood and atmosphere, Ornella has been a favourite in DJ booths around Oslo and further afield. When she’s not in the booth she’s facilitating the scene with her work as the booker for Gehor, adding to the rich sonic landscape of the city. 

Ornella makes her debut on Jaeger Mix with a 2 hour sonic journey through House music’s extended reach in an atmospheric and airy progression.

Ronya is part of the next generation of DJs setting Oslo’s dance floors alight. A regular fixture amongst the Det Gode Selskab collective and beyond, these past few years, she’s staked a claim in the minimal landscape of the city’s House and Techno universe. 

She arrives at the Jaeger Mix pursuing the sound we have come to recognise from the DJ. With sonic aesthetics that err on the side of the stark, and styles that reach far beyond the archetypal, there’s no one distinction that sets this mix apart, but the sound remains consistent. 

Whether breaking up the conformity of a beat or importing elements from divergent genres, Ronya‘s musical trajectory follows like a dialogue with the dance floor. It keeps everything grounded in the rhythm – possibly indicative of Ronya’s drumming roots – but it allows for expression beyond the functional.

JM#219 - RONYA

Synne is part of the next generation of selectors coming through in Oslo, carrying a torch for all things Disco and House as she makes her way to the fore. Whether playing in the Schmooze and Brus ensemble or alongside Don Quan for Nightflight, she has been a regular fixture in Jaeger’s booth over the course of the last year and makes her way to the Jaeger mix today. 

The Oslo DJ brings an accessible sonic style to the recorded mix for the first time, hitting a  “playful” stride towards the dance floor. Familiar melodic motifs crop up in modernised four to floor rhythms. Funk-driven machine bass lines and disembodied vocal samples cut through the rollicking grooves, at times evoking that French filter sound or Norwegian space-disco epoch. It’s updated for contemporary dance floors in tracks that cut right to the core.

Fabian Berg is the latest addition to the Jaeger’s lineup, both in the booth and behind the bar. The newest member of our team, has already left an indelible mark on the dance floor, with a stint at M.A.D Tuesdays, filling in for Axel FU and regular appearances across our weekly residences.

Fabian Berg ticks all the boxes across his 2h stint at the Jaeger mix, from the downtempo balearics to squirming acid, playing between the old and the new. A hardware aesthetic reigns supreme with drum machines and synthesisers working in swinging tandem in a resonant pulse to the dance floor. As an extension of his production efforts there is a definite sonic identity to his works, with his future prospects looking very promising indeed.

The young artist and DJ is making an early mark already, and we look forward to much more from him in the upcoming future, but first some questions.

JM#223 - Fabian Berg

Chugging rhythms and a sonic dialect that stretches the known globe come together in a sound like no-other in Oslo. It’s the sound of Epiphany, a DJ collective and event that has taken root in the Norwegian capital with a uniquely diverse background informing the aesthetic. 

A regular fixture in the city’s nightlife, including Jaeger’s weekend lineup, Epiphany is a multi-cultural group of DJs consisting of Epifanov (Alexandru), Mulo (Fabien), Lorentz Bodega (Stian) and Ihle (Marius). Their diverse background is reflected in their sound which is reflected in the aesthetic they bring to their events and the audience they attract.

They’ve created an inclusive community on the dance floor with their personal tastes coalescing around a global village of sound. They’ve garnered an appeal amongst dancing emigré to the city, drawing many to their nights, with the faint sounds of a nascent home echoing through their House and Tech-leaning DJ sets.

Øyvind Morken - Riddim Mix

Bergen artist and DJ House on Sale comes to the Jaeger mix, and we’re definitely buying what he’s selling. Rooted in House music, but clearly expansive in his definition of the genre, House on Sale’s mix permeates with soulful and organic sounds as he travels from Disco to Deep House across 2 hours.

House on sale is a rising star on Bergen’s House music scene, and his night, Disco Paradiso and regular appearances in the city’s DJ booths have made fixture. For his first visit to Oslo, he takes on the Jaeger mix with effortless charm, channelling his sound into 2 hours during his session.

After the success of her sophomore LP Dance Therapy, Ora The Molecule has been a name on everybody’s lips. Ora (Nora Schelderup) has been a sought after live performer and DJ, travelling the world from her home base just outside of Oslo. From NRK to Beats in Space, she’s been making an impact globally with her unique space-aged Disco sound.

Dance Therapy followed Human Safari underpinning a sound taken from Italo Disco and Norway’s Space Disco scene, where together with stars like Todd Terje and Prins Thomas, Ora the Molecule now makes up the firmament. Her musical journey travels through space and time touches on distant worlds where nostalgia and her distinct pop sensibilities form the fabric of an indelible sound. 

An acclaimed artist and performer, Ora The Molecule is also an adept DJ, and after a move back to Norway, she’s been a regular fixture in DJ booths across town. Tying that red thread between her own music and the music filling her record bag, she took on the Jaeger Mix with her usually Disco charm.

From Lindstrøm to Hannes Bieger, she charted an intergalactic 2 hour journey from our sauna. Recorded during the last of the hazy summer days this year, it leaves with a bounce in our step and a song in our ear as we listen back to her mix today. We touch down in Ora’s world to grab a few quotes from the artist and DJ as she continues to chart a trajectory to the stars.

Jaeger Mix #017
October 9th, 2016

Over the past few weeks we’ve become content again in the fact that a familiar face is appearing in Jæger’s booth. Olefonken is back ladies and gentlemen and after a short stint in London, during which time he released the amazing Quaaludes EP, he is back at Jæger assuming his residency amongst Celius, Oskar Pask and Ricky Late. To mark his return Ivaylo pushed him into the booth for the Æ mix and boy was it a welcomed sound. Olefonken’s charismatic diversity in the booth shines through yet again, calling on elements of Funk, Disco, House and Afrobeat, all tied together with the DJ’s distinguished ability to find a clear path from the past to the present. There’s a quirky charm to the personality behind the music and his selections, something universal that he expresses here through swing beats and beguiling melodies that conspire around low slung tempos for this particular mix. It’s a mix as easy as a Sunday morning… or a Wednesday afternoon and it will certainly keep us in good company until the next Æ mix comes comes to town.

November 26th, 2017

Spotting a hole in his demanding touring schedule, Finnebassen made a call on Ivaylo and the Jæger mix series to lay down his first contribution to the series. A honorary Jæger resident by now, Finnebassen’s sets in our basement show us a side to the DJ producer that audiences around the rest of the world don’t often get to see. Trotting the globe in 2017, Finnebassen’s name has adorned line-ups from Brazil to Ukraine this year, with no signs of slowing down before the holiday season with a trip to Australia on the cards in December. Often the headliner, Finnebassen’s sets are imbued with a forceful energy to cater to a peak-time crowd, but as his all-night sets around Oslo’s has shown his as adept at warming a crowd to a dancefloor. 
For this episode of the Jæger mix  Finnebassen turns down that spirited energy and settles in to a more sober mood. Although he plays at a more conservative pace, the mix is still very much in the style of Finnebassen. Deep chords and  sub-bass-lines trudge along in rhythms lifted from House, while hallucinogenic lead lines trip over each other to create spartan minimalist textures. Dub progressions keep the mix pulsing along at a reserved rate from one track to the next, and particularly cold and introspective mood follows with Finnebassen playing on themes of mystique and intrigue through his selections.
You can read a full interview with Finnebassen here.
Æ. Give us an introduction
F. I did a mix with lots of different stuff. Some of My New stuff. Some favourites. Old and New.
 
Æ. What is your earliest memory of a piece of music?
F. Driving in my father’s car listening to country music.
 
Æ. What sound or genre do you feel represents what you try to do through your selections?

“I’m just waiting on the artwork” says Olefonken when I quiz him on the mythical Hubbabubbaklubb album. I remember speaking to lead singer Morten Skjæveland about the release in the summer of 2016, to which he replied something like: “whenever Olefonken feels ready to let it go”. Something of a musical perfectionist, Olefonken’s obsession with Hubbabubbaklubb’s debut LP has left us all on tenterhooks, while his solo releases like Quaaludes on his Snorkel imprint has kept us entertained in the meantime. 
A wispy, blonde figure, Olefonken is a regular feature at Jæger where he plays alongside Celius, Ricky Late and Oskar Pask as the R.L.O.C collective and a prominent feature on Oslo’s DJ scene. His mixes are vast, expansive journeys through the entire musical universe with an innate connection to the audience. 
On his edition of the Jæger mix Olefonken takes us on a dreamy trip through an early Sunday evening with a selection that goes from from Elvis to Aphex Twin. It’s a mix that moves through time like liquid, with ethereal slide guitars dripping from break-beat percussive arrangements or ghostly vocals flitting through ambient textures.
The tracks hop from one end of the musical spectrum to the next and Olefonken weaves them together like a soundtrack, where they attempt to communicate some surreal narrative rather than pander to the dance floor. It’s like the first chapter of a story that leaves us cliffhanging at the end as it draws to an open-ended conclusion when a regular rhythmic measure sets the tone for some  intangible musical evening ahead.
 
Æ.Give us an introduction
O.Tynngubbe aka the thin white duke. Volume 2 of course.
 
Æ.What is your earliest memory of a piece of music?
O.My dad’s snoring and “Å du som metter liten fugl”.
 
Æ.What sound or genre do you feel represents what you try to do through your selections?
O.No one really, tend to try and set some sort of a mood rather than go after a type of genre.
 
Æ.What do you consider your role as DJ should be?
O.Doing the dirty work of the pied piper of Hamelin.
 
Æ.What was the theme of your mix?
O.Sim City theme park edition
 
Æ.Which track in your Æmix best represents the theme of your mix and why?
O.The one with the swirling flutes , you know that goes da da da ta ta.
 
Æ.What do you hope your Æmix relays to the listener?
O.Leisure time.
 
Æ.What’s next for you after this mix?
O.Börek, then off to bockhorn lessons!

Exclusive to the blog this Friday, comes Mr. Scruff’s extensive set recorded last week at Jæger. It was the legendary DJ’s second visit in as many years and G-Ha & Olanskii were there again to welcome him to their residency and offer the keys to our basement for the entire night. 

Settling into the basement, Mr. Scruff stayed the duration of the night, opening the floor and taking his audience on a journey through the weird and wonderful mind of Mr. Scruff. Nothing is left uncharted in Mr.Scruff’s expansive musical universe, with a varied, yet distinct approach to genre and style that has become his trademark over his considerable career.

You can hear Mr. Scruff plot a course through the night, but he’s clearly moving with the mood and the energy of the room. A stint focussing on the sounds of Reggae and Hip Hop might follow Disco and then transform into Jazz, the experience of the veteran DJ showing a hand in the seamless soundtrack he creates from beginning to end.

Paul Johnson at Jaeger Oslo 
live recording 22/08/2019

Eulogising the ghetto roots of House music, stripping back arrangements to their bare functionality, Paul Johnson has carved out a unique legacy on the more provocative corners of Chicago’s House roots. Vibrant, energetic and corporeal, infused with elements of Funk, Acid, Gospel and Soul, the DJ and producer’s music and sets have stayed close to the original blueprint of the genre with 100’s of records and 6 LPs veering little from his distinctive sound. His biggest success came with “Get Get Down” in the late nineties, but records like “So Much” and  “A change is Gonna Come” and LPs like “Second Coming” have made severe impressions in House music over the last three decades.

He arrived at Jaeger and Daniel Gude’s Retro a few weeks back to bring that infectious Chicago spirit to our booth, laying down an intense and energetic set for our Thursday crowd. Skipping over tracks, from obscure acid cuts to chart topping dance music like Dennis Ferrer’s “Hey Hey,” Paul Johnson kept feeding the dance floor with infectious tracks, and even the torrential rain flowing over our tiles could hardly keep us away. We were locked on and so was our recorder, capturing the sounds that live on today through this recording.

Mandagsklubben is the longest serving residency at Jaeger. It started life at Fisk & Vilt over ten years ago and in the years it’s been active it’s become an institution in the city. At the centre of Mandagsklubben is Brokesteady, a DJ crew made up of Davidow, Jeff Niels and André Bravo; three DJs whose individual tastes coalesce over a broad spectrum of music made for the dance floor.   

Mandagsklubben is only one aspect of André Bravo’s extensive and versatile output as a DJ, which sees him play three to four times a week in and around Oslo, where his sets can go anywhere from the marauding beats Techno to the soulful exaltations of modern R&B. A DJ with an extensive background in music and DJing which extends from scratching to appeasing various dance floors across the capital, André Bravo is flexible in any situation and you never know which direction he might take you into next.

And that was the case when he showed up at the Jaeger Mix for the first time last Sunday. So what would it be on this occasion…Hip Hop, Deep House, Minimal Tech? It was none of the above and quite a surprise when Bravo showed up with a collection of liquid Drum N Bass on his thumb drive.

Sparkling hi-hats, rumbling kick-snare combinations are pieced together into ferocious breakbeats that are smoothed over with soft pads and subtle melodic treatment. A vocal is never too far away in Bravo’s mix as soulful vocals croon over the ecstatic beat arrangements. André Bravo steadily ramps up the energy in his mix, breaking only  briefly with a filtered bass growl, before subsiding again into the languid waters of liquid Drum n Bass

Skatebård at Jaeger Oslo 
live recording 08/11/2019

After years of waiting and pleading and hoping, Skatebård’s seminal track “Conga” was finally repressed on the 12″ format. Sex Tags Mania repressed the 2005 original for the first time in 2019 with prices for the original pressing reaching eye-watering numbers on discogs. Don’t worry though your investment is safe if you bought the original since the new version contains a different remix, but even though that track has played an instrumental role in sky-rocketing the career of Bård Aasen Lødemel, it was only on the merits of his skills and his sets that he has become such a fundamental figure in the booth today.

A regular fixture at Jaeger  Skatebård joined us again two weeks ago, channeling that jovial Skatebård spirit through a pair of decks and a mixer. On this occasion our basement set the scene and the mighty sound system projected that infectious enigma that is a Skatebård set at Jaeger.

Cruising on the cosmic waves that permeated in the wake of Disco, Skatebård’s Friday night set traversed the planets on a propulsion of analogue synthesisers and drum machines. Occupying the booth for two hours, Skatebård travelled from eighties synthwave, through 90s breakbeat House and early Trance in a set that spanned a great expanse of electronic music, channeled through the DJ’s inquisitive and unique musical assemblages. An extroverted set, Skatebård clearly had his sights set on a high-energy dance floor with set that will leaving you bouncing in your seat as you listen back to the recording today.

The Jaeger Mix is Oslo’s monthly ritual for deep listening and dance floor exploration, a midweek club night that doubles as a living archive of the city’s underground.
Taking place on select Wednesdays, the series pairs Jaeger resident Ivaylo with a rotating cast of DJs, producers, and live acts, capturing the sound of the night and preserving it as part of Jaeger’s ongoing story.
Each session is recorded in the club, followed by an interview with the guest, and later published as a feature on jaegeroslo.no - In this way, the Jaeger Mix lives beyond the dance floor — a document of Oslo’s electronic music culture, framed both in sound and in words.
Guiding the series is Ivaylo, a Bulgarian-born, Oslo-based DJ, producer, and curator. A long-standing Jaeger resident, label manager for Full Pupp, and founder of Lab Cleaning Jams, he has spent decades shaping Nordic club culture with his deep, soulful, and uncompromising approach to house and techno. His role in the Jaeger Mix is less about the spotlight and more about curation — weaving his own sets together with those of guests to tell the evolving story of the dance floor.
The Jaeger Mix stands as both a celebration of the present and a chronicle for the future, mapping Oslo’s nightlife one night, one mix, and one conversation at a time.
