The Cailleach, the celtic goddess of winter, is said to shapeshift into a hare. Grazing and greeting those who cross the threshold into the otherworld. You might see her in this guise, hopping about the landscape.

This mix is inspired by this folklore alongside the liminal dream-like thoughts I've had since moving back to Ireland, and the 'shapeshifting' that one might conjure this winter in order to get through the dark nights.

After her electrifying performance at Masada last May, we are thrilled to welcome back Anabel Arroyo to the CLOSERcast series for an exclusive mix!

A resident DJ at both Fold London and Laster Madrid, Anabel has built a stellar reputation for her intense, groove-driven sets that ignite dancefloors and whip crowds into frenzies. This allowed her to share the DJ booth with some of the biggest names in the scene, whilst developing and honing her signature style defined by raw energy and impeccable artistry.

Anabel’s sets are a masterclass in dancefloor dynamics, as they leave the crowd clinging onto every beat: seamless transitions, infectious rhythms, and a sophisticated interplay of layered bleeps and harmonic stabs characterize her sets, which linger in the minds of the listeners long after the music has stopped.

"The forest is such a special place because it is simultaneously rowdy and psychedelic. The timing of my afternoon set, leading from day to night, meant I wanted to play a set that moved from deep and dreamy to joyful and riotous, the momentum and energy building and blooming like a flower. I think it very much turned out as I intended, and it was totally so so special to play as I did in front of this incredibly giving and open-minded audience. Thank you Draaimolen for the incredible opportunity." - Ciel
