Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Your internal locus of evaluation will guide you. Don’t follow trends or get caught up in social media. Dig for music that truly makes you groove. Keep digging. Challenge yourself. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and lift you up. There is always more to learn and more music to discover. 

About the mix: I thoroughly enjoyed collecting music for this one over the last few months. This is my usual approach to mixes, I like to collect and select over a period of time to let the music flow and fall into place naturally. 'Back to the Basics' - I wanted to get back to straight up house in this mix and emit a summery feel as we move into this season. The first half of the mix I aimed to project a softer energy, a slowed down pace to counter the crazy busy period I'm in and to emphasise my love for my biggest and truest influence, 90's house music. There really is an infinite array of music made in this era and it keeps giving more and more as time goes on, I find it fascinating that there is still so much to discover. The first half is filled with lovely juicy finds from my favourite era and labels. The second half of the mix rolls into a more driving energy and shines light on forthcoming music bridging the connection from old to new, something I strive for in my sets, productions and digging. Recorded in my new apartment and on my new setup with an abundance of natural light shining in - the energy is very fresh.

"We're excited to present the DJ Directory Live Series, in partnership with Smirnoff - shining a spotlight on a group of talented, emerging artists from across Europe who played at Dimensions in 2017.

First up are Amsterdam born and based @kamma and @masalo-music! They purvey a wide range of sounds, from complex rhythms to dreamy waves and unpolished electronics, combining a love for cosmic soulful dance music with a raw Amsterdam aesthetic.

They present the colourful depths of their record crates, kicking off Saturday's programming in the Stables as Rush Hour celebrated their 20 year anniversary. Joined on the evening by Sadar Bahar & Lee Collins, Sassy J, Interstellar Funk and Antal, the party was in full flow from beginning to end. So kick back and enjoy their vision on dance music culture to the fullest."

For the final recorded set from Campout 2019, we wanted to share a special moment from the weekend. @midland played a stunning three hour set at Hemlock Hole that helped set the tone for the weekend. 

Reflecting back on this time together feels almost like a dream. The threat of COVID-19 and the quarantine we’ve been forced to endure has forced us to hit pause on our lives and rethink our immediate futures. As much as we’d love to dance with you this summer, we tearfully must postpone Honcho Campout to August 19-22, 2021 due to COVID-19.  

For more information on our decision and future updates please visit: honchocampout.com/updates

Campout Series: Midland

“House is a feeling, a community, and a celebration of life.” For DJ, producer, and visual artist 
Kléo aka Clélia Zida, House music is a guiding light. French-born and Amsterdam-based, her love affair with the genre began two decades ago. Schooled by vinyl’s technicalities, her sets span the full spectrum of House. Honouring the legacy of the holy trinity of dance music cities—Chicago, New York, and Detroit—rooted in the Black lineage of Disco, Funk, Soul and Jazz. Kléo embraces the essence of House culture as a movement of resilience, built on the belief that music and dance can dismantle barriers and heal communities. She leads every dancefloor from the heart, with emotion, energy, and togetherness at its core.

In her seamless mixes, the mood effortlessly shifts—from stripped-down, raw, and unapologetic jacking grooves to warmer percussive layers and vocal-driven energy with emotional resonance, then deeper into a cerebral aesthetic rich with synthesizer textures and soulful, machine-driven rhythms. Kléo celebrates the heritage of House while constantly digging for modern cuts, balancing the past and present with effortless sophistication. 
Kléo embodies the essence of being here—now, fully present in the music, guiding the dancefloor with spontaneity and poise through moments of ecstatic release and deep, immersive flow—one lifting you higher, the other pulling you deeper.

In recent years, Kléo has expanded her artistry beyond DJing to music producer, record label owner, and  event promoter. In early 2024, she launched her label Call 4 Rhythm, debuting with her first self-produced single, Agogo. True to the spirit of her DJ sets, the release is an invitation to let go and dial in. Across Agogo and her upcoming second release, Acid Coolada, Kléo reaffirms her commitment to House music’s ethos, blending squelchy TB-303 acid licks, jazz-tinged chords, interstellar synths, and sleek, soulful drum machines. The result is both rugged and authentic—a dancefloor affair infused with the spirit of honesty, the foundation of all her artistic endeavours.

At the end of 2024, she launched the Call 4 Rhythm party series, a natural extension of her vision. “Call 4 Rhythm is committed to creating a home where everyone feels safe, valued, and free to be their authentic selves. Here, we foster love, respect, and unity—because together, we thrive.”
 In an era where inclusivity in club culture is more vital than ever, her mission is clear: advocating for love and acceptance by creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and empowered. 

Beyond the dancefloor, Kléo is a core member of the Rush Hour store crew and a resident on Kiosk Radio, where she hosts In-House, a monthly show dedicated to her current selections.

Though her roots may lie in intimate dancefloors, Kléo is no stranger to big stages. She has graced iconic clubs like Panorama Bar, De School, OHM, berlinClub, 20/44, and Peti Kupe, as well as major festivals such as Dekmantel, Selectors, ADE, Lost Village, DGTL, and LOVEFEST. Regardless of the venue, her ethos remains unchanged: connection with the crowd is everything.

As the great Larry Heard once asked, “Can you feel it?” When Kléo is at the decks, the answer is always a resounding yes.
