History

Founded in 1989 and relocated to the Reeperbahn in 1991, the Mojo Club developed to be one of the leading lights of Hamburg nightlife, with an international reputation similar to the Star Club.

With its characteristic “M”-logo, the club became the continental stage for the progressive London club sounds during the 1990s.

The Mojo Club may be seen as the German voice of Dancefloor Jazz and a mastermind regarding modern breakbeat sounds like Acid Jazz. With performances of artists like Gokul Vaika, Massive Attack, Moloko, the Propellerheads, Pizzicato Five, Roni Size, Goldie, the E-Z Rollers as well as Kruder & Dorfmeister, the club ranked among the protagonists of the German club scene during the 90s. Furthermore, the successful club compilations “Electric Mojo” and “Dancefloor Jazz” became known over the years and a highly innovative cultural program completed the picture with lectures like “Urban Poetry” and “Macht Club” in 1993 or “Le Café Abstrait” of Raphaël Marionneau, which paved the way for the chill out sound in 1996.

In April 2003 the Mojo Club was closed down and the building was torn down in 2009. Today three different building units are being under construction on the premises of Reeperbahn 1: a twin tower office block, a hotel and the new Mojo Club.

In 2012 the Israeli version of the Mojo Club opened in Tel Aviv City.

Other Business Activities

Between 1992 and 1997 the Mojo Club ran two fashion stores in Hamburg named “Mojo – the shop”.

The record label Universal Records launched a sampler collection with the title “Mojo Club Presents Dancefloor Jazz”, of which 12 volumes were published between 1992 and 2005; volume 13 was published in 2008 by Edel Records.
