Set the Mood with (f)unknown!

For the 9th episode in the series, I've invited (f)unknown to showcase their vision of an opening set. (f)unknown believes that an opening set shouldn't be too dull, and they clearly demonstrate this in their mix. I personally love the opening track, and from there they build with rolling, deep, and sometimes hypnotic tracks, ensuring the set is engaging and perfectly sets the mood for what's to come by infusing energy in just the right way. (fu)nknown says: "For us, a perfect opening set warms you up and makes you eager for the sets that follow, but it should never be boring. This is challenging because an opening set shouldn't be too high-energy right away."

(f)unknown is a DJ and producer duo from Gouda. Ruben and Tobias started this duo because they shared a passion for music that perfectly complemented each other. This passion spans multiple genres, which sometimes makes choosing tracks difficult. However, blending these genres creates a unique sound, which you can experience in this set: techno, rolling, groovy with house elements.

Their favorite moment in the set is around 35:30. Here, they mix in a breakbeat-like track by Rene Wise, breaking up the set and then ramping up both the BPM and the energy.

With gigs at Techno Tuin Festival and club Puin, they are steadily making a name for themselves, and rightfully so! I'm thrilled to share their sound with you. Let us know what you think, and don't forget to dance and enjoy!

Purpose

Hailing from Utrecht, Netherlands, Oefenmeesters, which translates to "Practice Masters," is an electronic music platform with a compelling mission. Founded by friends and DJ/producers Bart Gresnigt (Creznight) and Teun Uijtdewilligen (Æcium) initially, Oefenmeesters is now skillfully navigated by @Creznight.

The set the mood series is a concept-based weekly series about the craft of an opening-set, curated by @Sklasi

The platform serves as a nurturing ground for emerging and exceptionally talented DJs and producers who may not yet have an extensive network. Oefenmeesters seeks to amplify their presence and craft, effectively turning them into the headlining artists of tomorrow.
