Karmel Jäger has been making waves in the underground electronic music scene ever since she threw in the classical music towel and took up the much sweatier towel of DJing and producing. Originally a classical singer based in London, she toured the UK and Europe performing in concert halls and working as a session singer at places like Abbey Road Studios before returning to Sydney, and her first love of all things rave. Over the past year her productions have been garnering attention of the likes of Rinse FM, Balaami Radio, WNCL and FBI Radio with releases on labels in Berlin, Dublin, London and Sydney. Her debut solo EP came out on Extra Spicy in 2022 with her most recent EP on Choki Biki (Dublin) including remixes from Hedchef, Sharpson and Borai, and upcoming releases will be on Lost Palms, Patchworks and Big Ting Records. As a DJ she’s played for numerous Sydney collectives including Undisclosed, Lucky Presents, Extra Spicy, AllFriends, Zoo, Sunday Service, Extra Spicy, Heaps Gay, Poofdoof and Birdcage. Recent highlights include supporting Stanton Warriors and Krafty Kutz at the Slip Inn, and Mark N at Abercrombie, and she’s excited to be on upcoming support for Dr Dubplate (Bouki Presents) and Mell G (Extract The Motion). Karmel’s sets are high energy, spanning grime, ravey techno and breakbeats, and often include unexpected moments that might be anything from hiphop to a Mozart remix.
