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 #193
January 18th, 2023

Mojo (aka Henrik Mojord Jahnsen) is one of those rarefied characters in Oslo’s clubbing community. Whether he’s on the dance floor, in a DJ booth, on the live stage, or at a lighting console you’ve undoubtedly been in his presence if you’ve been clubbing in Oslo. 

At the heart of his pursuits is a passion for electronic club music, especially Techno and Electro that is unlike you’ve ever experienced. From the records he buys, the music he makes, the synthesisers and drum machines he’s amassed, to his presence on the scene, few are as dedicated to this music as Mojo. 

Although an accomplished DJ, it’s in the context of a live show where his prowess as an artist comes to the fore. A disciple of the modular synthesiser, built on a long-standing tradition of Roland’s X0X machines, Mojo’s live sets are an immersive experience between  primordial rhythms and experimental electronics. 

He arrived at the Jaeger Mix for a cold night in February with this live set. From a couple of cases with cables charting an intricate course through machines, he conjured some truly enigmatic sounds, spurring lifeless electronics into motion. At the heart of his work there’s the familiar pulse of Techno, swathed in deep and entrancing sonic landscapes. From improvisation, tracks spring to life through Mojo’s almost subconscious ability to channel these elements to something for the dance floor. 

While we’ve had the pleasure of Mojo’s acquaintance all these years, we know very little of his extensive musical background, something which he puts right with this extensive interview following his Jaeger Mix.

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.

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.

Don Quan is another in a long list of newcomers that has been lighting up our dance floors in the last year or two. Alongside the likes of Synne and Schmooze and Brus, the DJ is currently contributing to the rich sonic tapestry of Oslo’s club music scene. 

It’s contained within his contribution to the Jaeger Mix, going from those metallic digital sounds of Paul Hardcastle in the eighties to modern Garage rhythms. Everything is contemporised with a modern production sheen that ties disparate genres and styles together. 

Like his DJ counterparts there’s an all-embracing foundation to his musical tastes that permeates this generation’s DJ mixes. The sponge-like manner in which he and the like  absorb influences, is channeled into individual sounds with a laser-like focus on the dance floor. A familiar presence on either side of the booth, Don Quan’s experiences on either side of the booth is cemented in this mix. 

Don Quan is something of MC Kaman protégé, following the unbridled encouragement, if not the advice of the latter. We know little else of the newcomer and took the opportunity to find out more while we listen back to his Jaeger mix.

Jaye Ward, what a bloody legend!

In the sometimes insipid, fickle and murky waters of the dance world not many have navigated its depths with the wisdom, style and sophistication that Jaye Ward has. A force of nature who’s been wielding the acid, since acid began, Jaye still embodies the raw spirit of UK club culture – screaming into the void and moving bodies.

For three decades, she’s been keeping it real in the sweaty backrooms of Stoke-on-Trent’s Golden to the hallowed halls of fabric. Her path weaves through the history of British dance music like a rebel’s tale – from squat parties to Sabresonic, from The End to Turnmills, from Homobloc and Dalston Superstore to Field Maneuvers…and maybe somewhere else this summer that we might have a little hand in.

Jaye, like the best of these humans walking this rather odd planet, is a restless spirit and this mix she’s done for us is a fucking belter that reflects that.  It’s an examination of Jaye’s unwavering devotion to the weird and wonderful corners of dance music.

From a DJ who’s seen it all, Jaye remains perpetually curious. Get this in your ears, expect the unexpected, blur the conventional and dissolve into pure feeling…ONWARDS

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.

@colonelgatito live at Sunday Service on December 1st - a moment suspended in the haze of an infinite afternoon, somewhere in a foggy room in Montreal…

Ivan Smagghe ༄ Live from Sunday Service (December 2024)

Two hours in the center of Tokyo with the best sound I've ever heard, dream line-up including Chida, 5ive and Powder and the perfect crowd that stayed until the very end. If there is ever a 100 out of 100 party, when you don’t have to prove anything behind the decks, but instead, just enjoy the ride, this one came the closest. RA pick, full room, no photo and video, family soundcheck, tons of friends, four channels, and alpha mixer. What else do you need?

Stay tuned for more / reposts are welcome. hugs. no war. G

DREEMS

Beginning of the end or end of the beginning? Destined to close proceedings in 2022, cult leader Dreems simply refused to go down with the sunken ship, resurfacing shortly after with a sonic tribute to the greatest party that never was. 

Bittersweet as this post-apocalyptic transmission may be, a deep dive into one of Earths most colourful imaginations always lands us on the sweet side of bitter. 

From the comfort of hindsight, we invite you into ‘3 Hours Deep Inside the Fantabulous Imaginarium Crater’ a nod to what should have been & perhaps what’s to come…
