Marie Davidson (live) | g-HA & Olanskii | Prins Thomas | Espen Haa
Elusive, dark, melancholy and provocative, Marie Davidson’s music ticks all those boxes. The Canadian artist makes her way to Jaeger in 2025 for a live show and the continuation of a tour starting with last year’s stellar LP City of Clowns (Deewee). g-HA & Olanskii welcome the artist to their Frædag concept in the basement while Prins Thomas and Espen Haa take on the backyard for their annual Loft Tribute.

Marie Davidson
Marie Davidson, has always defied norms in dance music. Her albums blend introspective storytelling with diverse sounds, from techno to Italo disco.
Marie Davidson has always gone against the grain. The French-Canadian producer’s first four albums established her as a transgressive force in dance music. Each release probed her “dualistic” relationship to nightlife while becoming increasingly saturated in its abundance of sounds, from Detroit techno to Italo disco, finally reaching a fever pitch on 2018’s Polaris Music Prize-nominated Working Class Woman.
After that, 2020’s Renegade Breakdown broke the mould entirely. With “a will to explore other styles of music,” Davidson formed a band with her husband and longtime collaborator Pierre Guerineau (also her counterpart in the duo Essaie Pas) and producer Asaël Robitaille. Four years and a pandemic later, Davidson’s sixth studio album, City of Clowns, marks a return to the club – but not as you know it. The techno thump and scathing spoken-word delivery of Working Class Woman resurface at points, but the pop structures and melodic sensibilities of Renegade Breakdown also remain. This time it’s not club culture that’s coming for her sense of self, it’s Big Tech.
g-HA & Olanskii
Two pivotal bodies in the sphere of Norwegian electronic music, g-HA & Olanskii are an event, a club, a DJ duo, and a musical authority for Norway. Individually adept as DJ, selectors and tastemaker, Ola “Olanskii” Smith-Simonsen and Geir “g-HA” Holger’s musical voices unified for Sunkissed, an events series that has become the backbone of Oslo’s electronic music scene and beyond.
