Archive 1999 – Bedroom Mix

by


During all years I’ve baptized all the mixes I made and this was called the Bedroom Mix. Partly because it is made at home and is completely live-recorded, but also to reduce expectations. I have never spread this mix and never really intended to spread either. I gathered together a couple of songs, mixed them together without any planning in an hour on a denon player and a DJ-mixer without filters.

Archive 1998 – 39 hits from 1998

by


A DJ mate Jacob, who worked for me at Trädgår’n, was after a yearmix with all the hits from 1998 to be played on New Year’s Eve. I was not particularly keen to spend several weeks doing one, but I could certainly help Jacob to do something. I ended up mixing it, using some parts of the summer’s P3 program and adding a bit of new mixes, so it would cover most of what was hits in 1998. It’s not the best medley in the world, but it still sums up 1998 on one good way.

Archive 1998 – DJ at Trädgår’n

by




The restaurant “Trädgår’n” in Gothenburg burned to the ground and a new building was erected in 1998. The premiere May 23, showed a lavish facility that could hold around 1500 guests at once, unique of its kind in Sweden, with sound, light and laser. Pierre J was asked about a DJ residency, manage DJ-bookings, music profiling and recieved a contract for 3 months, but it became a partnership that lasted 14 years. The Trädgår’n Nightclub was open 22.00-05.00, 4-7 days a week the first year, and age to get in was 25 years for females and 27 years for males.

The music profile in general was based on commercial house and techno music. I recorded some clips with my videocamera as well as a full audio recording on the DAT.

Another request from NRJ and this time one commercial break was enough, which gave 2 mixes. I was just back from a holiday trip to London and where I visited Notting Hill Carneval and saw Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley and Pete Heller perform DJ-sets. I think all of the songs in both these mixes was bought on vinyl in London during this trip.

Another year when the show P3 Mix on Swedish National Radio is transformed into “P3 Remix with Pierre J” during the summer. I’ve spent a lot of time to mash all this up with a selection that goes from the most commercial music to some odd tunes.

Archive 1997 – Absolute Dance Classics Mix(es)

by


Here is a collection of the most popular songs from the 90’s. I wanted to create a mix, as long as possible, to be able to include as many songs as possible in this mix. But to do a mix of 20 minutes would exclude radio-play. Therefor, I created a 20 minutes mix that could also be played as 3 separate mixes. Hence the title “Mix(es)”. This is probably one the mixes that got most played all over, and can still be heard from time to time on dance floors all over Sweden.
