Commercial speaking and jingles in and between tracks

René Hedemyr was leader of SweMix back in the end of '80s and '90s:

SweMix was located in the soundproofed basement of a building on Kocksgatan Street, in Sodermalm. It was a collective of 10 Swedish DJs led by René Hedemyr, who as JackMaster Fax spun records at Tramps, one of the city’s biggest discos. When they weren’t in the studio or working a club, most of them clerked at the Vinyl Mania record store in Vasagatan, close to the Stockholm train station.
