Jan Steigen (Raggabalder) + Friends Away from the gluttonous consumption of the christmas dinner table and the awkward family engagements where an embrace always lasts that uncomfortable second too long, comes a barely-audible burrr from Oslo’s beating heart. It calls to you like a siren's song, a large flickering arrow lighting your exit; offering you a way out from the mundane conversation, the opulent display of hyperbolic consumerism and the tepid versions of the pseudo happiness that every christmas brings.
It’s Romjulsfestivalen and in the annual tradition, Subjekt and Jæger bring you a week-long program to abscond from the stale traditions of the holiday season and lose yourself in the welcomed embrace of a Funktion One system and an playlist selected by folks like Jan Steigen and Daniel Lion.
It’s been awhile since the guys from Jøger were at Jæger , but like Øyvind Morken, Boogienetter and Skranglejazz, Jan Steigen is an institution on little new years eve. Jan Steigen assumes the annual position, programming a musical journey direct to the Caribbean isles featuring the likes of Reggae, Dancehall and Reggaeton.
PS. The other DJ/gentleman aka "Grandma" on the foto will not play that evening.
