Live sets & Mixtapes

A clash of two Italo heads for the first time in five years. Ended up mostly playing Italo throughout. Sorry about the occasional sound issues due to faulty cables. @skatebard or me for track ID.

Skatebård & Rulefinn B2B @ Rommet 15.07.23

First 40 minutes is Patås and me b2b, going at it solo from there on out. All vinyl no digi, just people living in the moment. Enjoy!

Rulefinn @ Skatten Øyanatt 09.08.23

Mostly mellow vibes at one of my Oslo residencies.

Live @ Byens Tak 26.07.24

Promo mix for my Disco night at Salt called "A Lover's Holiday"!

Some mega classic/obvious records, some cheese, some obscure and some true peaktime legendary cuts, which I think covers the sound of my regular nights in Oslo back in the day pretty accurately. 

All vinyl, recorded in one take without any sort of planning, kept the rough transitions and enjoyed the journey through some old faves.

Enjoy a taste of my Ingensteds-era Disco sure shots!





Fun fact: The mixtape does not contain the tracks A Lover's Holiday or Sure Shot.

Rulefinn - Disco Sure Shots!

Trance, Techno, Tech House, Electro and some filter house b2b with Anders Hajem(Boring Crew Records). Decided during the gig to leave my hdd in the bag and explore the 100-ish records I brought.

Enjoy!

Live at Mari (P3) 19.10.15

A very overdue party vibe mix. The name concept is simple: All records played were standing within arm's reach of my turntables. Since I did the mix on a headset I didn't realise the isolator was on, adding a couple of dB in the low-end.

One take, all vinyl. Feel free to ask for track names!

Guestmix 01/04/17: Rulefinn

Jaeger Mix #052
July 2nd, 2017

Syncopated hats, snapping bass-lines, larger than life string arrangements and an energy you can almost touch; it must be the sound of Disco, and selected by one of Oslo’s staunches admirers of the genre, Rulefinn. The Oslo DJ takes us back to the early seventies, to a time before Abba and the Bee Gees, when Disco was still the proclivity of a rough and ready big band and it was still funky. Away from the sequence, the cheese and the sickening commercialism, Disco was a high energy music made by brilliant musicians especially for the dance floor. 

Rulefinn highlights the fundamental building blocks of Disco from the origins of the genre with unmovable four to floor kicks, expressive vocals, and overblown arrangements coalescing around a raw energy. He tames them where he can, reigning them into a mix with the experience of lifelong commitment and an impeccable knowledge his selections. Infectious and intense, it is none other than the sound of Disco as it was always intended and mixed by an experienced hand.

Give us an introduction.
R. I’m Rulefinn; DJ, record collector, label manager of a tiny label called Finnitus, producer, and all-around nerd. 
What is your earliest memory of a piece of music?
 The intro track on my TMNT read-along cassettes.
 
What sound or genre do you feel represents what you try to do through your selections?
R. Disco for sure. It has the full emotional registry; it has dancefloor monsters, the slow jams, the solos, the power vocals, the sampled-to-death-for-a-reason drum tracks.
 
What do you consider your role as DJ should be?
R. To make people dance. That is totally combinable with self-realisation through research though, but it’s important to keep the balance.
 
What was the theme of your mix?
R. I wanted to do a straight-up high-tempo disco set, a journey from European obscurity to American cheese.
 
Which track in your Æmix best represents the theme of your mix and why?
R. I would say Carolyne Benrier – Secret agent love. It’s a 16+ minute track that I dropped in from the second “act”. Cheese and floor-filler in perfect harmony.
 
What do you hope your Æmix relays to the listener?
R. Disco is so much more than Gloria Gaynor and Bee Gees.
 
What’s next for you after this mix?
R. I’m currently working on a world tour this fall, hopefully consisting of gigs in South America, Asia and a couple of dates in Europe.
