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

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.

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.

Mr.Scruff at Jaeger Oslo - live recording 29/09/17

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.

Listen back to a live recording from our booth with Skatebård. A week ago the Norwegian DJ stopped off at g-HA & Olanskii’s Frædag and laid down an eclectic, energetic mix in the only way he can. 2 hours of pure Skatebård ensues, with elements of House, Disco and Balearic milling around energetic 4-4 beats.

There’s a stark correlation to his own work, and even when he is not playing something from his own extensive back catalogue of original material, remixes and edits, the music is transported to the vast reaches of the cosmic realm on a bed of eighties synthesisers and galloping sequences.

Skatebård’s transitions from one tracks to the next are a marvel to behold, and going from synthetic Disco, to Synth Wave to nu-disco, there’s a very eccentric and idiosyncratic thread weaving itself through the entire set. It’s the perfect start to the weekend.

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.

Jaeger Mix #152
August 4th, 2019

Helene Rickhard has been making synth waves across Oslo over the past two years. After g a break from DJing, she’s taken up the reins again, with DJ sets that have set her apart from the rest of a scene. With a penchant for enchanting melodies crafted from ancient electronic circuits and a primal rhythmic instinct, she’s garnered a reputation as one of Oslo’s more idiosyncratic DJs. 

Eighties synth wave, minimal wave, new world ambient and cosmic disco constitute her DJ sets with her unique flair for the unusual and esoteric underpinning her sets. She’s been a regular fixture at Jaeger since returning to the booth, and after some coercing, we finally get her on the Jaeger Mix.

Playing to the context, Rickhard creates a tempered mood, going from some exotic ambience to lethargic rhythms and vintage synthesiser sounds coaxed from drum machines. Often quirky, and completely mesmerising, Rickhard’s set skates through an alternative narrative of early electronica, and thrives in the more obscure corners of early synthesiser music. 

It’s a mix that translates well into the recorded format where its enigmatic charm really comes to the fore. The Jaeger mix comes a week before Helen Rickhard is set to join us for the Boiler Room weekender, where she’ll open up the floor in the afternoon on the Saturday, leading us into the second day of the weekender.

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.
