Mix I did for JaegerMix
http://jaegeroslo.no/jm097-balerik/
BalErik makes his second appearance on the Jæger mix this week with a mix that is a “little more Detroit techno” than his first for the mix series. Playing our courtyard during one of the many blistering evenings we’ve had in Oslo, BalErik puts the soul back into electronic music without sacrificing energy.
Chirping synthesisers and luxurious pads float above deep, plundering bass and rhythm sections pounding out 4/4 beats at excessive tempos. BalErik’s set doesn’t pander to the idea of an opening set with the Dirty Groove resident giving us a glimpse of peak time during one of his nights.
Energetic and lively, but still very soulful, BalErik shows there’s more to his sections than his name might suggest.
Give us an introduction to your Jæger mix.
The mix is a blend of some old and new tunes, some I have played a lot in clubs and bars, and some I have not had the chance to play out yet. Tracks from Dub Taylor, Deniro, Afriqua, Roman Lindau, Cari Lekebusch etc.
How is it different from the last Jæger mix you did and how is it the same?
I guess this mix has a little more Detroit techno vibe vs more house vibe on the first one.
