Set the Mood with Maō-no!

For Set the Mood 32, the decks are in the capable hands of Maō-no, the mastermind behind Vinylismo and a resident at AMW.FM. This edition of Set the Mood marks a milestone as the very first vinyl-exclusive set in the series, a detail that adds an extra layer of excitement to the occasion. With its slower transitions and an emphasis on embracing the full body of each track, this mix perfectly captures what an opening set should be.

For Maō-no, a perfect opening set is about creating the right atmosphere. It starts with deep, sci-fi-inspired intros built on strong basslines, slowly unfolding into a dynamic blend of high and low tones. The transitions are purposefully slow, creating a smooth and steady build that pulls the audience into a rich, layered sound. This thoughtful approach sets the perfect tone for the night, drawing listeners into a unique musical journey.

Maō-no (also known as Pablo) is a DJ known for his ability to mix vinyl and digital music into a cohesive story. As the founder of Vinylismo and a key resident at AMW.FM, he brings a unique perspective to his craft. His sets feature carefully chosen tracks, with each vinyl selected to deepen the experience and bring the audience into the heart of the club atmosphere. Combining skill with an adventurous style, Maō-no’s performances leave a lasting impression on every dancefloor he plays.

Set the Mood with Diepzeebeest!

I am truly excited to have Diepzeebeest involved in this series. From the moment I first heard their sound, I was immediately captivated. Their latest release on Float is a perfect example of why they deserve this spot and why I believe everyone should hear their music.

Diepzeebeest loves to explore their inner experience, diving deep into uncomfortable feelings and capturing them in their productions. This process is often subconscious, unfolding while they record sounds from their hardware and software instruments. Turning these recordings into tracks then becomes more of a curation, where meaning is consciously discovered. When approaching the recording for Oefenmeesters Set The Mood, they envisioned it as an introduction to the introspective and driving techno they gravitate toward. The set hints at the depths to come while remaining inviting enough for listeners to ease in. As a final track, they chose a slight outlier—a last moment to surface and breathe before the next set takes the audience even deeper, eyes closed, letting go.

Diepzeebeest (they/them) is a producer and live artist from Rotterdam, exploring the depths of hypnotic techno with releases on Float, Immaterial Archives, and Dynamic Reflection, among others.
