MUD Session concept was born in New York and created by the female House dance crew MAWU back in 2009, and later on brought to Norway, Oslo in 2015. Since then, MUD has been a common meeting ground where we share our spirit and love for House music, House dance and club culture.

The concept mainly has its roots in house, disco, funk and boogie music genre, and aims to recreate the atmosphere that has existed in various clubs and underground scene in New York since the early 1980s. With us, we always have our resident DJs, DJ Ghar घर and DJ Niwin, who aim to take us on a musical journey.

Our monthly open practice/jam sessions have moved through different venues in Oslo: Dansens Hus, Kyrre Texnæs Studio Sentralen and Melahuset to mention a few.

In addition, MUD is currently active in Oslo’s club circuit, and has played at club/venues: Revolver, Blå, Ingensteds, Jaeger Oslo, Oslo Camping, SALT art & music, Kulturhuset and Godthåb to name a few.

While being active within the local club scene, one of MUD Sessions goals has been to highlight quality international acts. As a result, they've had the honor of booking and warming up for international acts such as: Atjazz (UK), Andreas Saag (SE), Crackazat (SE/UK), Fényan (FR), Hugo LX (FR), Lay-Far (RU), Marcia Carr (UK), Mark de Clive-Lowe (UK/NZ/JP) and Vanessa Freeman (UK).
