Set the Mood with Sklasi!

To kick off 2025, I want to share my personal vision of an opening set with you. The project 'Set the Mood' is now 31 weeks in. 31 passionate and talented (emerging) DJs have shared my passion for opening sets and presented their own interpretations. 31 mixes of different styles, approaches, and energy levels—all representing an opening set through their eyes.

What is my vision of an opening set? I started this series because I felt (and still feel) there’s a trend where everything has to be harder, faster, peak-time, and high-energy—essentially, from the moment you step into the club. Personally, I love slower sets, with much more room for experimentation and captivating the audience. I’m glad to see that these days, there’s increasingly more resistance to that trend.

In this set, I wanted to showcase my essence. I begin with about 15 minutes of pure ambient, which is absolutely one of my favorite (sub)genres and deserves far more attention. Following that, breaks and melodic yet deep techno gradually immerse the listener into a vibe. Using hypnotic and dreamy sounds, I aim to keep you engaged. Over the course of this two-hour mix, the energy builds slowly but steadily, ultimately winding down again at the end to conclude the journey and leave space for the next DJ. This two-hour mix takes us from 123 bpm to 131 bpm—perfect for an opening!

Ik hoop dat je geniet van de mix!

Sklasi - Set the Mood 031 (Oefenmeesters)

Oefenmeesters Tribute to Dutch Techno w/ Sklasi [BCR15/02/2025]

Hey everyone,

I've decided to upload my ambient set from last Saturday’s Oefenmeesters x Up the Road club night at KABUL à GoGo. First of all, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to create an ambient experience at an event that usually revolves around full-on dance music. The chill-out area at KABUL à GoGo provided the perfect setting to try something different; with cozy chairs and a couch, people could really unwind and decompress.

The response to the set and the experience was amazing, and it’s got me excited about what more we can explore within this often underappreciated genre.

My set drew quite a crowd (big love to my friends for showing up!), and I really wanted to help everyone reset before heading back to the dancefloor. That’s why I mixed in some neo-classical tracks alongside the ambient ones. I’m genuinely happy with how it turned out, and so thankful for the chance to share this more introspective side of my musical taste with an audience.

So: kick back, slow down, and enjoy this nearly hour-long ambient/neo-classical mix.

Much love,
Jelmer (Sklasi)

Techno Redux w/ ZUZANAH b2b HAdŌ - 22.05.25

Our next Techno Minder Hero, is an Utrecht-based DJ. With a sound rooted in ambient, breakbeat, and dreamy 4×4 rhythms, this Hero brings depth to the dancefloor.

In this episode, we dive into his creative mindset and highlight his recent mix for Drone:

“For my mix for Drone, I dove into downtempo and electro/breakbeat. The mix begins with a dreamy 82 BPM intro, gradually transferring to electro-infused transitions before arriving at the more familiar techno pulse. Though the tempo remains modest, the energy steadily rises, keeping things engaging by alternating pumping techno with broken beats and new rhythms.
The final tracks hold deep personal meaning for me; they are very high in emotion. To finish the mix, a beautiful piano composition.
This mix tells a story and I couldn’t be more proud of it. Cheers!”

Tune in for an episode full of introspection, atmosphere, and boundary-pushing beats.
We would like to welcome: Sklasi

Please enjoy!

Drone Select 052 /// Sklasi

Hey all,

On the 20th of June, I was invited by Beton-T/Studio-T to play during their Ambient/Downtempo terrace session. I got to play a total of 2,5 hours, which was exciting, but long. However, I was fully relaxed after ;)

It rained during the first hour, but that only emphasized the ambient sounds. And it didn't stop the audience from staying! 

Big love to all my friends for joining me, it means the world!

Enjoy this 2,5 hour ambient/downtempo mix!

Kisses,
Jelmer (Sklasi)
