Recording of Skåtebard's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021. 

Dekmantel Selectors 2021 was a much needed musical reunion. After the preceding period of stillness, the catharsis and pure joy of finally being together again has been overwhelming. In the words of Skatebård: "I hope this recording can give you an idea of the vibe of the Beach stage at Selectors. And for those who were there, a snapshot of how it was actually like.
For me it felt like a lot of the music I like to play was made for moments like that night right there."

A recording from the beautiful Equation Festival in Vietnam.
Thank you so much everybody, organizers and everyone on the dance floor alike!

This is a mono recording so the sound is not ideal unfortunately, but should be well and good enough for a portable bluetooth speaker.

Skatebård at Equation Festival 2023

Another recording from one of the wonderful nights during my Asia tour recently, this time Savage in Hanoi!

Not my first time playing at Savage, can it be the fifth time? If you search Soundcloud, you may find recordings dating back as far as to 2016.

Skatebård at Radio Vilnius, March 2024

Bård Aasen Lødemel, alias Skatebård, fattet interesse for techno og rave på 90-tallet, før han ble produsent av retrofuturistisk disco, house og techno.

Lødemel fra Ørsta ble raskt en del av Bergens voksende klubbmiljø etter å ha flyttet dit i 2000, og etter kort tid var han også signet på Tellés underlabel Tellektro. Hans første utgivelse under navnet Skatebård, et konsist album kalt Skateboarding Was a Crime (I 1989), ble utgitt (kun på vinyl) i 2002, og sakte men sikkert begynte Skatebårds rykte å spre seg utover Norges grenser.

Gjennom en imponerende karriere, fem album og mer enn tjue tolvtommere, har han jevnt og trutt laget seg en egen nisje og en helt unik stil, der en blanding av tilsynelatende forskjellige sjangre og stemninger faller seg helt naturlig. Musikken pendler mellom italo-disco og rå, Detroit-inspirert house og techno. Med en misunnelsesverdig eklektisk samling, og en evne til å navigere sømløst i den, byr Skatebårds DJ-sett på spennende utflukter i det ukjente og uventede. Han balanserer kitch med raffinement og eleganse, og resultatet er alltid livsbejaende, nonsjalant moro.

Exclusive mix by @skatebard 
Bård Aasen Lødemel, aka Skatebård, dove into techno and rave culture in the 1990s before becoming a producer of disco, house and techno with a retro-futuristic touch. Originally from Ørsta, he moved to Bergen in 2000, where he quickly became part of the city’s burgeoning club scene. After handing a homemade demo to Mikal Telle, head of Tellé Records, he was signed in 2001 to the sub-label Tellektro. Over the course of an impressive career marked by five albums and more than twenty 12" EPs, he has secured a strong presence in some of the most respected venues on the electronic scene, effortlessly navigating between seemingly opposite genres and moods : Italo disco and raw, Detroit-inspired house and techno. He signs our 264th mix.

It would be safe to assume Skatebård is a national treasure at this point. A darling of the scene from Oslo to Bergen and one of the country’s biggest DJ exports, Skatebård continues to deliver whenever called upon. Beaming from the DJ booth, his liberal musical attitude and infallible energy, keeps us locked in, regardless of where he might musically roam. 

A consistent presence at Jaeger he’s taken up the mantle of honorary resident, and whether playing the backyard or taking on the wall of sound in the basement, he’s come to define something of the sound of Jaeger during his tenure. 

It brings us immense pleasure that he is finally inducted in the Jaeger Mix series, with this set recorded during the opening DJ salvo of 2026 with a special edition of Jaeger Mix and Frædag. Taking on the Basement this time, Skatebård laces into some Techy Trance before tracing a winding journey through his distinctive musical tastes. 

Ending up in the familiar sounds of Italo Disco, Skatebård’s two hour journey is a familiar sonic exposition into the DJ’s trademark style. It’s a style he’s cultivated since the early part of the millennium, but always feels a little more special in Jaeger’s booth.

Skatebård used to be raving on his own with his walkman in Norwegian forests during the 90s before he became a producer of retro-futuristic disco, house, and techno. 
Hailing from a town called Ørsta on the west coast, Bård moved to Bergen in the year 2000, where he quickly became part of the town's growing club scene. 
After handing over a homemade demo to Tellé Records label boss Mikal Telle, Bård was signed to offshoot label Tellektro in 2001. 
His first release under the name of Skatebård, a concise vinyl-only album called Skateboarding Was a Crime (In 1989), was released in 2002, and slowly but surely Skatebård's reputation started spreading beyond Norway's borders. 

It would be safe to assume Skatebård is a Norwegian national treasure at this point. A darling of the scene from Oslo to Bergen and one of the country’s biggest DJ exports, Skatebård continues to deliver whenever called upon. Beaming from the DJ booth, his liberal musical attitude and infallible energy, keeps us locked in, regardless of where he might musically roam. 

Throughout his impressive career of releasing five albums and more than thirty 12-inches, he has steadily carved out his own corner of dance music with a unique flair. Traversing a range of seemingly disparate genres and emotions comes incredibly naturally to the Norwegian artist, whose music oscillates between Italo disco and raw Detroit infused house and techno. With an enviably eclectic collection of the mastery to navigate it seamlessly, Skatebård’s DJ sets offer exploratory excursions through the unknown and unexpected. From festival mainstages to intimate clubnights, Boiler Rooms and radio shows, Skatebård has captivated audiences across the globe, performing at many of electronic music’s most revered institutions.
The dynamic scope of Skatebård’s artistry extends to his work in the studio. Spanning over two decades, his impressive discography is dispersed across labels including his own Digitalo Enterprises, Sex Tags Mania and Bordello A Parigi. With a knack for balancing kitsch with elegance, Skatebård creates music that exudes an air of nonchalant fun.
