Set the Mood with HSOP!

I'm honored to introduce HSOP as the 45th guest in the Set the Mood series. Based in Amsterdam, she is a DJ, producer, yoga instructor, and partner at Donker, an independent label and collective that offers artists a platform to explore and express their darker musical identities.

For HSOP, a perfect opening set is all about subtlety, patience, and connection. She imagines the first moments of the night: people slowly entering the space, grabbing a drink, exchanging a few words, and beginning to settle into the energy of the room. To her, this early phase is not about making a statement, it's about creating space. The music must invite rather than demand, offering a natural, unforced transition into the evening. Her sets in this context are intentionally restrained, keeping the energy low and fluid for most of the performance, gently shaping the mood to match the unique lineup and setting of the night.

Her sound normally blends rolling basslines with shadowy textures, broken rhythms, and industrial edges, all anchored by a deep low-end presence. There’s a raw intensity in her selections, but it’s always balanced by an intuitive sense of flow. A hypnotic quality that keeps listeners locked in.

Recently, HSOP made her debut at Radion as part of an all-female lineup, marking an important milestone in her artistic journey. Whether she’s behind the decks, crafting in the studio, or leading a yoga session, she explores the space between power and restraint, always driven by a desire to connect through her art.

This mix is a reflection of that ethos; an immersive, slow-burning build that perfectly sets the mood. It’s a thoughtful approach, and one that reflects the kind of artist HSOP is.

Mastered at S A Studio
Artwork by Johan Bonnefoy
Released by Accents Records (^^^) from Clermont Fd, France
Release Date: June 21st, 2025

The summer solstice will be here soon, and it's time to bring you the eleventh instalment in the ACCENTEP series, dedicated to the custom format and promoting music that's both contemplative and designed for travel and techno clubs. Akob, a talented duo of producers based between Paris and Berlin, have graced us with an opus that is resolutely sensitive and chamber, offering their vision of a nocturnal techno music that is hypnotic, atmospheric, bewitching and minimalist, with a magnificent sound design that invites us to drive along the country roads at night, alone in our vehicle, discovering the chromatic oscillations of a pre-summer sunset.
