PREMIERE | Tension - Capsule [ABSTRACT MECHANISMS]

Set the Mood with HSOP!

I'm honored to introduce HSOP as the 45th guest in the Set the Mood series. Based in Amsterdam, she is a DJ, producer, yoga instructor, and partner at Donker, an independent label and collective that offers artists a platform to explore and express their darker musical identities.

For HSOP, a perfect opening set is all about subtlety, patience, and connection. She imagines the first moments of the night: people slowly entering the space, grabbing a drink, exchanging a few words, and beginning to settle into the energy of the room. To her, this early phase is not about making a statement, it's about creating space. The music must invite rather than demand, offering a natural, unforced transition into the evening. Her sets in this context are intentionally restrained, keeping the energy low and fluid for most of the performance, gently shaping the mood to match the unique lineup and setting of the night.

Her sound normally blends rolling basslines with shadowy textures, broken rhythms, and industrial edges, all anchored by a deep low-end presence. There’s a raw intensity in her selections, but it’s always balanced by an intuitive sense of flow. A hypnotic quality that keeps listeners locked in.

Recently, HSOP made her debut at Radion as part of an all-female lineup, marking an important milestone in her artistic journey. Whether she’s behind the decks, crafting in the studio, or leading a yoga session, she explores the space between power and restraint, always driven by a desire to connect through her art.

This mix is a reflection of that ethos; an immersive, slow-burning build that perfectly sets the mood. It’s a thoughtful approach, and one that reflects the kind of artist HSOP is.
