Mester Jakobsen

According to the old danish childrens song “Mester Jakob” – equal to the english “Mister Sandman”; Mester Jakob is coming to help the little children catch a good nights sleep. On the contrary… He’s working the floor and creating a soundtrack for the best moments of our lives. The common way for a dj to make a career is to start out as a hip-hop and rare grooves dj and then slowly turning onto playing minimal and techno material. Bjarke Jakobsen, which is his real name, has been a key player on the Copenhagen techno and house scene for almost two decades now. He has been playing alongside the world’s elite techno and house dj’s such as Derrick May, Jeff Mills, DJ Hell, Miss Kitten, Recloose and Surgeon, just to name a few. He made the legendary and avantgarde “Simplicity” club in the mid 90s. And furthermore arranging important events such as the concert with legendary pioneers “A Number of Names”. He was the creator of the famous “Warriors of the lost Beat” events and owner of the record label “Tech-nology” releasing acclaimed vinyl featuring Danish wonder kid Bjørn Svin under his Prinz Ezo moniker. These experiences reinforced his interests for going back to the roots of dance music. He started collecting old disco tracks and a new trademark style developed; playing more down tempo and advanced music including old disco and soul classic alongside edits and fresh off the press interpretations of mature dance music. But qua his electronic career all music is brought to you trough a modern view and reworked with his superior mixing skills and ability to “read the crowd”. The buttom line is that you can expect quality tracks with a hypermodern twist and a soundtrack for a sensual stress free environment. The style is very versatile going from old disco, edits, northern soul, latin and bollywood to neo disco, hip hop instrumentals, experimental and the occasional techno or housebomb. Because it’s all about peaking the crowd and setting a mood: It’s party time!
