Jack Schidt / Margeir

If you don’t know Margeir, you don’t know Jack Schidt.


He’s the Golden Calf making sacrifices on the sonic altar for the lost hordes. He was stage diving into the throbbing masses before rave was nu, mixing sounds before the menu called for a mash-up. His infamy is forged from iron-clad production, blistering DJ sets and a twisted sense of humour that keeps his disciples coming back religiously.

Margeir’s projects are many and varied. As Jack Schidt, he made his first explosive appearance on GusGus’s Pineapple Records. Since then, everyone from Carl Craig to Michael Mayer has jumped aboard Jack’s bandwagon, the latter signing several remixes to the legendary Kompakt label. Most recently, this year’s 50,000-plus Roskilde crowd feasted on his beat-cookery when one of his productions was flambéed with Jimmy Tenor’s “Take Me Baby” during Trentmoller’s headlining set.

Sex Drive Live (Estonia)

Sex Drive Live comes directly from the subconsious where drum machines, effects processors, perverse toys and keytars high on testosterone meet and connect. Raging through the crowd at 130 up to 201 beats per minute it’s a two-some on stage, musically speaking. It’s acid, techno, electro and whatever mixed up this and that way, the result not being predefined. From Tallinn, Estonia, Tõnis Savi and Martin Voltri do it all live.
