For our twentieth instalment we've invited AMARES, a Tbilisi -based artist. 

Infused with a deep passion for music, she draws inspiration from a diverse array of influences, weaving together elements of hypnotic, psychedelic, tribal, and trance genres to shape her unique identity.

Her sets serve as a medium for storytelling, crafting emotional narratives that guide through transformative and experimental realms - it becomes an exploration of emotions and an invitation to experience the unknown.

Some words about the mix ‘Wings of Light’:
“The mix is a flight through rhythms that lift the spirit, like wind dancing through open skies and sunlight kissing the earth. It carries your mind on a breeze of lightness, through realms where joy has no gravity and freedom has no end. It celebrates the soul’s liberation, Filling the air with light and endless possibility. And in this journey sound becomes wings, making soul fly, untethered and free.”

Set the Mood with MACRO!

For the 50th edition of the Set the Mood series, we welcome a Utrecht-based guest: MACRO. As a DJ who understands the subtle power of the warm-up slot, MACRO believes that a proper opening set is more than just a buildup—it's an invitation. For him, it's about crafting a hypnotic journey that sets the foundation for the night ahead.

In his own words:

“I believe that a proper opening set is all about gradually pulling the crowd into a groove-driven trance that sets the tone for the night ahead. This mix starts deep and textured, layering rich percussive elements to disorient the senses in just the right way. From there, I slowly build the rhythm, keeping the BPM low but energy simmering, making sure a story is told. This way I maintain my style of hypnotic, unpredictable, and irresistibly danceable grooves.”

Hailing from Utrecht, MACRO is a DJ and producer who draws deep inspiration from the dancefloor. His sound blends energetic grooves with obscure, hypnotic textures, designed to keep his sets pulsing from start to finish. Always in search of tracks that challenge expectations, MACRO remains focused on one mission: to keep hearts pounding and feet moving until the very last beat.
