Set the Mood with ZAZU!

What would ZAZU play if she were to open a party? Over the next hour, she reveals exactly how her ideal opening set would sound. She begins with a stunning, half-ambient track featuring a mysterious voice—an ideal way to set the tone. From there, she shows that hypnotic, dark tracks can firmly establish the mood, keeping the energy steady enough to warm up the crowd without losing momentum. This is how a great opening set should be.

ZAZU, an Amsterdam-based DJ, is renowned for her deep, hypnotic sound that fuses atmospheric and minimalist techno with experimental layers. Her sets take listeners on a journey through evolving soundscapes, driven by rich, groovy basslines. With smooth transitions, ZAZU steadily builds energy, drawing the crowd deeper into her unique vibe. Each performance becomes a personal experience, turning the space into an engaging and immersive atmosphere.

In her vision of a perfect opening set, ZAZU starts with deep, mellow tracks that immediately pull the audience in, setting the mood for what’s to come. As the set progresses, she introduces hypnotic tracks that gradually build energy, drawing everyone further into the rhythm until the crowd is fully dancing and lost in the music. Throughout the set, she keeps the energy balanced, and as it nears the end, she slows things down with an ambient track—signaling that the musical journey is concluding. For ZAZU, this is the essence of a perfect opening set: a seamless flow of music that transports the listener, creating a sense of derealization where time and space melt away into sound.
