This year we’re doing things a little differently, so get ready for a night packed with lots of FUN: House Battle, OTA Performance, Clubbing and crazy good vibes with some real dope music!
Let’s make this a MEMORABLE EVENT.
SSO, MUD and Jaeger’s ongoing party collaborations have led to celebrated events in recent years, and this year we’re taking it a step further, bringing House Night, Club Night and Jaeger’s Frædag concept together for one special night. We come with a clear intent to move one’s mind, body and soul through music and movement, while putting forth quality, dope and real underground artistry, predominantly celebrating Black and Latinx music and its heritage. Lastly, it’s all about bringing people from all walks of life together under one roof.
Earlier this year, Coflo delivered a hella dope DJ set at SSO’s Encounters 2026 afterparty at Jaeger. We intend to build upon that success and elevate the experience even further. This year marks our most ambitious joint effort to date, as we honor and celebrate two eminent artists in their own right, representing the city of Detroit and its rich musical heritage within Black music.
We are super excited to welcome both Kevin Saunderson and Waajeed:
________________________________
🔥 Kevin Saunderson (US):
Platinum-selling recording artist, label boss, festival promoter, true innovator, cultural champion and cracking DJ: there’s a lot to be said about Kevin Saunderson.
His influence runs deep through both his adopted hometown of Detroit and music culture as a whole. As one of the legendary Belleville Three, alongside Juan Atkins and Derrick May, he helped irreparably change the face of electronic music. With Inner City, alongside vocalist Paris Grey, he gave it some of its most memorable anthems, including “Big Fun” and “Good Life”, amassing 12 UK Top 40 hits and selling over six million records worldwide.
His nickname, “The Elevator”, is apt: for his role in transporting Detroit’s new sound to a wider audience, for the high-energy, high-spirit and high-impact DJ sets he’s renowned for, and for a lifetime spent progressing the culture he helped create.

________________________________
🔥 Waajeed (US):
(Robert O’Bryant IV) is a Detroiter, musician, educator and, as his chosen name translates, “the mighty revealer.” Raised in Conant Gardens on Detroit’s east side-an incubator for techno, funk and underground hip-hop that produced artists such as Amp Fiddler and J Dilla-Waajeed became immersed in the city’s musical culture from an early age.
At fourteen, he began collaborating as a DJ and producer with J Dilla, T3 and Baatin, becoming one of the founding members of the group that would eventually become Slum Village. His path has since moved fluidly across music and visual arts, always deeply rooted in the creative culture of his hometown.
In 2000, Waajeed co-founded Platinum Pied Pipers, later establishing his own label Bling47 as a platform to amplify Detroit’s musical community. Through the label, he was among the earliest to release J Dilla’s instrumental work, while his own productions explored the space between hip-hop and Detroit techno. In 2012, he continued that vision with Dirt Tech Reck, releasing music by artists including Amp Fiddler and Electric Street Orchestra.
Waajeed’s work extends far beyond the dancefloor. In 2015, he founded Detroit’s Underground Music Academy (UMA), a music school championing artistic independence, autonomy and collective creation. Bringing together decades of work as a musician, producer, artist and community organizer, Waajeed remains dedicated to both progressing Detroit’s musical legacy and creating space for the generations that follow.

________________________________

But before our international guests take us on a musical journey with FRÆDAG, we celebrate streetdance with Soul Sessions Oslo in the basement. Get ready for movement through House Dance and Ballroom culture.
________________________________
⚡️House Dance 1vs1
House Dance is a freestyle social and club dance culture that developed alongside house music, principally through the underground club scenes of Chicago and New York from the late 1970s through the 1980s and early ’90s. Rather than being created by a single person, it evolved collectively on dance floors, particularly within Black, Latino and LGBTQ+ communities. A 1vs1 House Battle is a dance competition format in which two dancers face each other directly, improvising-or freestyling-to House music selected by a DJ. Unlike choreographed competitions, dancers generally do not know the music beforehand, making musicality, spontaneity, creativity and personal expression central to the battle.
⚡️OTA Performance
Ballroom culture, often simply called Ballroom, is a Black and Latino LGBTQ+ subculture that developed in New York City, with important roots in Harlem’s drag-ball traditions of the early 20th century. Modern Ballroom took shape particularly during the 1960s–1980s, as Black and Latino queer and trans people created their own spaces in response to racism and exclusion within existing drag-pageant scenes. In Ballroom, OTA Performance is a competitive voguing category. OTA stands for “Open To All,” meaning the category is not divided by gender identity or Ballroom gender designation. Depending on the particular ball, additional rules may still apply—for example experience level, theme, dress code, or which vogue styles are accepted.
Winner prize:
💰House 1vs1: 5000 NOK
💰OTA performance: 5000 NOK

Lastly, what would the event be without some REAL and DOPE underground DJs and Host/MCs. Presenting a hefty line-up of both local and international DJs at Club Night and Frædag.
________________________________
G-HA (NO):
A pivotal body in the sphere of Norwegian electronic music, g-HA is the man behind some of the most legendary musical institutions in Oslo and a musical authority in Norway. From Foot Food to Sunkissed and Frædag at Jaeger, g-HA is synonymous with some of the city’s most notorious club concepts. His early association with Skansen’s success and the accompanying mix CD of the same name courtesy of Glasgow underground, cemented him as a legend in Oslo’s clubbing scene and beyond. As a DJ, he remains a barometer for the latest in club music and continues to play weekly across Oslo and beyond.

R-ZO (FR):
Zo Baki, aka DJ R-Zo, is an essential figure within music and street dance, hailing from Paris, France. With early beginnings in hip-hop and the crews Section C and Wanted, R-Zo discovered house dance in the early ’90s and became part of Paris’s formative house dance and club culture. As a member of Queen Step — the second generation of Parisian house dancers — he came up during the legendary era of the Queen nightclub and its Respect Is Burning parties. Behind the decks since 2004, R-Zo has built a seasoned career as a DJ and crate digger, warming up for heavy hitters such as Theo Parrish, Joe Claussell, Levon Vincent, Tama Sumo, DJ QU and Joey Anderson. A regular within the Paris club circuit, he has played venues such as Rex Club, Djoon, Concrete, La Bellevilloise and La Machine du Moulin Rouge.
Deeply informed by his background as a dancer, R-Zo’s DJ sets are rooted in groove, movement and musical discovery, paying homage to the legacy of disco, house and techno while blending old and new gems into musical stories for the dance floor. A sought-after DJ and respected figure within the street dance scene, R-Zo has graced international events such as Streetstar (SE), Hip Hop Weekend (SE) and Juste Debout (FR), and has been part of Soul Sessions Oslo’s Extended festival since its early beginnings in 2009.
In simple words, R-Zo is a true trooper — a seasoned DJ and dancer whose dedication to music, dance and club culture runs deep.

MUD DJs (NO):
DJ Ghar घर and Niwin are the resident DJs and driving forces behind MUD Session Oslo, a club concept rooted in underground House music, dance culture, and the connection between music and movement. Both DJs and dancers, their different musical backgrounds meet through a shared devotion to rhythm and the dance floor. Ghar घर is a dedicated crate digger and vinyl enthusiast whose background in Indian percussion informs selections moving through House, Disco, Funk, Boogie, and Broken Beat. Niwin is a DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist with releases on Atjazz Record Company, Akers Rec, Closer To Truth and his own label Niwin Music, whose work extends into live performance, dance, and theatre.

DIESEL (NO) [MC]:
Daniel “Diesel” Soheili is an unapologetically open gay man with roots in Iran, born in Sweden and now based in Norway. He has a background in classical dance from the Carlforsska High School (2007–2010) in Sweden and the Åsa College Street Dance Program, as well as studies at the Broadway Dance Center in New York (ISVP Program in Contemporary & Jazz Dance, 2011). As a dancer, Diesel’s journey has spanned nearly two decades and countless artistic projects and expressions. Over time, his body has evolved into not only a vessel for movement and creativity but also a statement of bodily and sexual liberation — his art has become his political voice. Diesel has been teaching and performing since 2008, both nationally and internationally. He has also made a name for himself in the Ballroom scene, earning more than 40 wins across 12 countries. In 2019, he was honored with the “Prince of Seduction” award by the European Ballroom Scene, among several other recognitions and accolades.
