Our first live recording by two friends in a state of flow, time stretching out as conversation moves wherever curiosity leads. No agenda, no pressure, just trust holding the space together.

Godero & Yela 5h set ~ Club Bizarre at Landbouwbelang ~ 08.11.2025

This is a part of the recording of my set at Bonanza Festival 2025 in Colombia.
I was offered to play on the last day of the festival, a 3h slot on Sunday morning, from 10:30 am onwards. Every DJ probably knows that this is a very tricky time slot, especially after 3 days n nights of partying in a hot and humid climate. It’s the time of the day when the feet get tired and the rising sun with higher temperatures creates an overall heavy feeling, that calls for a small siesta.

So, what to do in moments like this? You want to make sure people don’t leave, but also want to make it easy for them and not push too hard, right? At least that’s what I always wish for in these situations: a laid back vibe, warm sounds, a bit uplifting, but not too much, deep but not too low, trippy but not too crazy. Something that allows me to move slower, but keeps me engaged. Something that still feels good when I sit down to rest or float in the water while my mind is dancing.

For me DJing is always about creating an atmosphere, ideally one that matches the setting. I felt that this was not the moment to push things or impressing with big drop moments, but rather taking a step back and allowing for a little breather before the last night of the festival.

Music by: Dan Piu, Velv 93, Freddy Fresh, Convexion, Ewan Jansen, Zed Bias, Orbital, Lhasa.... and many more

Vera @ Bonanza Festival 2025

Karine in for the next Off-Kilter mix - it's a goodun. Heady, warpy, mind melting electronics spanning the darker avenues of house and techno.

What was your idea behind the mix and how it came together?

I didn't really have a plan. I just woke up that day feeling great, and everything felt right. I went to record the mix straight away, and it all came together very naturally. I recorded it in one take, just playing what I felt in that moment.

As the previous booker for Closer, can you tell us how this has had an impact on your style / influences as an artist?

Music has always been a big part of my life, so working at Closer felt like home. I met so many amazing artists, discovered so much great music, and it really shaped my taste. I'm very grateful for those years.

Can you please highlight 3 tracks that stand out for you in the mix and what is it about them that you particularly drawn to?

Shakolin – Varanasi

It’s a track by my husband, Shakolin, featuring our daughter Veronika’s voice throughout. It contains dialogue from 2001: A Space Odyssey, with her voice woven into the track, making it deeply personal for me.'

Alex Picone & Ewan Jansen – Ride the Rail

It always gives me a lift and fills me with positive energy. I think music has the power to change how we feel, and this track always puts me in a good place. 

Alpha Delta Division – Outer Rim

I really love this track. It has something special that I can't really explain. I never get tired of listening to it.

Her sound unfolds with elegance and curiosity, shaped by years of dancing and an intuitive, body-driven approach behind the decks. Focused yet playful, she works with groove, subtle tension, and emotional nuance, guided by a love for records and the stories they carry.
