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. Mester Jakobsen is definitely going in the reverse direction.
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. 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”.
