Maria Hanlon, a DJ part of Sweetestcape's curation, steps into the INTROE SONIC series with a quiet confidence, one that doesn’t demand attention, but earns it. Following early teasers, her set has now officially landed, marking another chapter in the INTROE SONIC's evolving 2026 run.
Known for her “Quiet Ascent” through the London scene, Maria delivers a beautifully considered journey through soulful house, deep house, and broken beat. Rooted in what she describes as deep, warm, soulful house, her sound unfolds with patience, balancing groove, texture, and emotional depth.
Her approach is grounded in the art of reading the room: arriving over-prepared, then letting go to respond intuitively to the energy of the space in real time. It’s a method that has shaped her path from the airwaves of Voices Radio to stages like Glastonbury Festival, always guided by connection rather than convention.
With her SONIC release now live, Maria Hanlon continues her quiet ascent, proving that sometimes the most powerful moments are the ones that don’t need to shout.
