The Gregorian calendar might say 2016, but every Thursday at Jæger, DJ Nuhhh and Karima transport their audiences to a different time. RETRO captures the essence of Jæger’s musical versatility and weaves it seamlessly through Disco, Garage, Soul, Gospel, Acid House and Techno with a focus on the music of the past and the influences of today. DJ Nuhhh (kids love bass) and Karima go back to back each Thursday, with the two DJs being an unstoppable force in the booth as they pick through the history of dance music to arrive at the present. Dj Nuhhh’s impressive vinyl collection – some of which line our wall in the basement – allows the DJ absolute freedom to pounce on the impulses of his audience, while Karima’s vast musical knowledge in the booth and her role as a music journalist take those impulses and refines them into a musical expedition to the far reaches of the dance floor. RETRO has been a staple on Jæger’s calendar since day one with the weekly residents often joined by an international booking or a local hero. Past bookings have included: DJ Spen, Todd Edwards, MK, Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, Danny Krivit, Black Coffee, Phil Asher, Karizma, Omar S, Lenny Fontana, Victor Rosado and Roy Davis Jr, to name but a few and this week sees the New York legend Danny Krivit returns to this amazing roster.

Dany Krivit is an American DJ and producer whose story is intrinsically linked to that of house music. He grew up in New York during the 60s, surrounded by all forms of music from a young age, not to mention his parents were both accomplished jazz stars in their own right. In fact it was his parents who gave Danny his first break when they enlisted him as the only DJ at their club ‘Ones’ in the mid seventies. Since then he hasn’t looked back.

Other high profile gigs soon followed at places like Roxy, the home of some of the best hip-hop DJs of that era like Grandmaster Flash and Africa Bambaata. These days Danny is a firm favourite at clubs around the world, where he mixes up house with soul, hip hop with funk and does so in an educational and engaging way. As testament to this he is behind so many seminal compilations such as 718 Session (2009) on Nervous Records, 15 Years Of Body And Soul (2011) on Ministry of Sound, and last but not least Philly’s Groove (2011). During the 80s Danny started producing, working on tracks featuring legends such as James Brown, and Gloria Gayner, he was also a part of the vital DJ and party collective ‘Body and Soul’ with Francois K and Joaquin Claussell. His years of experience and his contributions to music make him a true electronic legend.
