Paris-via-Berlin based DJ and producer Arkan onboards the series this week with two hours fully embracing his deep, hypnosis-inducing mindset and definite knack for shaping streamlined floor narratives. Responsible for a handful surgical transmissions on the likes of Figure and SK_Eleven, in addition to running his own imprints Autonome and Drawner, the French artist keeps carving out a niche for himself at the junction of purely pragmatic, gravity-defying grooves and a certain orientation for experimental-leaning submersion, tailored to maintain techno's intrinsic relevancy and boundary-pushing character when so much material feels stuck in the emulative loop and not caring one bit to opt out the lame-ass continuum. One to keep the adrenaline rushing badman-style, and all brains in the room just as duly, unflinchingly stimulated.

As Saturday night reached its peak, KR!Z unleashed the signature sound of his label, Token — a masterclass of precise blends and energy control that turned his set into one of the most flawlessly executed performances of the entire festival. 

Two hours of razor-sharp techno that gripped the forest from the first kick to the last echo.

Metapattern Vinyl Only Opening - Else x KEY VINYL (Sat Aug 9th 2025)

Behind the decks, a new voice at once familiar and distant guides listeners
through mental, dark-hypnotic tunnels. She shapes her textures like whispered secrets subtle and unfaltering then carves sonic contours with measured tension and release.

KHIDI Podcast 174: The Forest

A passionate record collector with an eclectic taste spanning jazz, reggae, hip-hop, rock, and, of course, house and techno, Elisa Bee @xelisabeex is equally captivated by the rich sounds of the past and the experimental waves shaping the future of music. Moving fluidly through ever-evolving creative landscapes, she has been DJing for over 17 years—starting in her native Sardinia before making her mark in Milan.

Elisa’s productions have garnered international recognition, earning airplay on dancefloors and radio stations worldwide. Her music has been released on esteemed labels such as Symbolism, Hardgroove, Truncate, Unknown To The Unknown, Balkan Vinyl, I Love Acid, and ANAØH. In recent years, her sound has evolved towards techno with a strong 90s influence, driven by her deep love for hardgroove. Her latest projects include a collaborative EP with Detroit legend Rolando, released in late 2024, alongside numerous remixes and solo tracks.

Resident Advisor has recently recognised her as one of the finest selectors and producers in Italy: "[...] exploring and then refining a style of techno that has that rare, hard to put your finger on quality: a soulful reverence that pays homage to the old days and the originators without just copying them".

As a resident DJ at Tempio Del Futuro Perduto in Milan, Elisa’s all-night sets are described as immersive journeys: “acid, very groovy, sometimes dark, always energetic, and dreamy towards the end.” A regular at Berghain since 2023, she has showcased her signature sound through some of the most respected podcast series, including HATE, Awakenings, Slam Radio, and RA Podcast.
