Jeff Wagar :: Juxtapositron Jeff Wagar spins at Magnetique, an evening of lounge-core, ambient, chill and intelligent stylings at Silk City every Monday evening, always free. I studied Futurism with Jeff's Uncle Warren Wagar in SUNY Binghamtom: cool runs in the Wagar family. Jeff bartends at Fluid and wanders about Philadelphia as a hero in a Choose Your Own Adventure tale. Juxtapositron is his glitchy idm project and with neat sounding fx. Joey Sweeney writes: As often as not, Magnetique -- resident DJs Jugo and Jeff's Monday night gig at Silk City -- is dead, with an average of 20 customers hanging out in the bar, listening to music and chatting over beers. The night's billing as "never pretentious and always free" is apt enough, but it doesn't tell the whole story: On any given night, a good half of Magnetique's patrons are DJs and a good half of them have shown up with a bag of records. In the last handful of months, Magnetique has become a sort of weekly DJ summit. Jugo and Jeff preside, spinning everything from drum 'n' bass to Big Beat to indie rock and house, and make a point of inviting a wide and surprisingly eclectic mix of DJs to stop by to spin short sets. (On a recent Monday, no less than half of the DJs mentioned in this story showed up.) "When we started last spring, we knew a lot of [DJs]," says Jeff (née Jeff Wagar). "And through the night, we started meeting more and more, plus Jugo was spinning at Groove Lounge [see Cozmic Cat], so there was that connection as well." Jugo's pedigree lies in drum 'n' bass, although literally any new piece of electronic music is likely to show up in his set; Jeff veers more to the indie side of music, laying down tracks by acts like Kid Loco, Stereolab and (at least one time) Belle and Sebastian. Jugo has also spun at Eighth Street Lounge and the Palmer Social Club, but both he and Jeff feel they've tapped into something with Magnetique, however modest an affair it might be. "I don't care if it's dead or not," says Jeff. "[Because of the revolving cast], it changes every week. I look at it like, it's my night to be exposed to new music and it's chill, whether it's because of the people or the DJs. There's limitless boundaries of music to be heard there."
