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 #209
January 10th, 2024

Olle Abstract is back  at the Jaeger Mix, and after indulging his varied tastes between Ambient and Techno he returns with a mix of unadulterated House music. The mix follows shortly after his last Lyd session, Olle’s monthly club concept featuring new Norwegian music and DJs perpetuating the sound of House music in Norway.

As an elder statesman of the scene he has played a vital role in bringing electronic club music to the fore both in the clubs and in the radio, and he continues to play a pivotal role in our scene. He continues to be an interminable force both on and behind the scenes through his LYD podcast and even a recent hip replacement couldn’t keep him down for long. While his LYD podcast reflect the radio broadcaster side of the DJ, this Jaeger mix session is strictly a club session as Olle picks through his latest dance floor killers.

Isoebel has been a fixture on Jaeger’s dance floors for as long as we can remember. She would often be found on the dance floor, indiscriminately taking in everything from monstrous House music to deep journeys through truly eclectic selections. In recent years she’s made the move from the dance floor to the DJ booth, and we’re told it’s not her first foray into DJing.

Recently she’s played regularly alongside Prins Thomas for her regular visits to Jaeger sauna for Double Trouble as well as making impromptu visits to Oslo’s other club destinations. When she is not in the booth she’s in front of it dancing to the sounds of our other residents and guests a like.

Isoebel makes her debut on the Jaeger Mix, with a mix that wouldn’t be out of place at Double Trouble, but clearly intended for the valentine’s day context. This one is for the lovers.  Her amorous selections dig deep with a balearic twist. Plastic rhythms from eighties drum machines and saccharine melodies run the gamut, setting the tone for an early dance floor and the perfect mood for the any listening party.

Jaeger Mix #212
April 3rd, 2024

Oslo’s nightlife is currently a hive of activity. DJs, club spaces and concepts are cropping up in what seems to be on an almost weekly basis. It’s bringing a lot of new music and new approaches to the dance floor, in a post-pandemic era where a whole generation was robbed of the dance floor for two years. In that period they’ve had to recontextualise the dance floor, the DJ and even the club as they started going out again and as they went from the dance floor to the DJ booth, they breathed new life into the scene.

Hetty and J. André are two figures at the heart of this new wave. Hardly novices, both have been active DJs since their teens, and they were one of the first to repopulate the dance floor after the pandemic. There hasn’t been a week at Jaeger where I haven’t seen either Truls Hetty and/or Jørgen André on the guestlist at Jaeger and when they are not on the dance floor they are in a DJ booth somewhere in the city.

One of those DJ booths has been Jaeger’s sauna on a Sunday. Hetty and J. Andrés’ Moving Heads has been settling into our weekly residencies for the summer season and with that we’ve asked them to join our Jaeger Mix alumni for a session. The DJ duo parlay some of that Sunday summer vibes over the course of two hours with a focus on the 90’s era of House music, “clearly reflect(ing)” the sound of Moving Heads. Frenzied percussion, bouncing bass-lines and spirituous textures culminate in this dance-floor focussed mix.

One of our newest residents and the DJ behind our newest Tuesday concept, Mona Blanchard puts the “M” in M.A.D. She is part of the new generation of DJs and club music specialists breathing new life into Oslo’s nightlife post pandemic alongside the likes of Axel FU and Dara Woo.

A French/Norwegian, Mona moved to Oslo 6 years ago, and for the last few years, she’s been carving a path through Oslo’s DJ circuit at the forefront of a new wave of DJs breaking down the barriers between genre, styles and tempos on the dance floor. 

For her first recorded mix, ever – yes, she’s never recorded a mix before – Mona Blanchard brings some of the eclecticism to the Jaeger Mix. Thriving in the lower tempos and riding a perpetual groove this mix showcases another side to Mona Blanchard, one that finds her going deeper than what she’s usually inclined to do on a Tuesday.

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

From laissez-faire keys drifting along an ambient soundscape to rollocking percussive workouts, Beni Badja, takes us on an extensive journey through a portion of his record collection. The vinyl enthusiast has been a regular fixture in Oslo’s DJ milieu, with an extensive reach going from the left-field audiences of Mir to the bass-loving hordes of Oslo’s sound systems. 

For this occasion, he opts for the dance floor, building it up through a few ambient and beat-less tracks before a classic 90’s House rips loose. Rapturous keys and syncopated beats vie for attention through the two hour long stint where a musical oddity or curiosity is never too far away. It  gathers elements of balearic, dub and acid and synth wave as it moves through the mix.

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.

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.

JM#220 - Synne

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
