Emerging from France and now based in Berlin, Benabou crafts deeply hypnotic techno shaped by years of crate-digging and a love for ambient atmospheres. Her sets blur the lines between dark, driving grooves and ethereal textures, nodding to influences from jazz, soul, and psychedelic sounds. With releases on labels like Gynoid Audio, Substantiv, Construct Re-Form, and Cosmic Wave, she’s built her own sound that resonates across Europe’s finest dance floors; such as Paris’s Rex Club and Berlin’s Tresor. Off the decks and behind the scenes, Benabou is a skilled mastering engineer and vinyl-cutter, delivering top-tier masters for both vinyl and digital formats. 

This mix is spacious yet relentless. An hour of beautiful chaos.

Here goes #253.

FOWRU 005 | Eerste Communie invites Stephanie Sykes

''When I first played at Pax-Romana exactly 3 years ago, I immediately felt a connection with the crew and the crowd. Plus, we share a birthday! I’m very honoured to continue our relationship with Friends of Pax.

This set is representative of what I am playing right now in the clubs: a collection of no-nonsense favourites that have been going down well for me over the past few months''.

We met Amotik when he played the closing at our 1st anniversary. Since that moment, everything felt organic and warm, just like his closing track 'Knights of the Jaguar'. We share a birthday, so our paths will be linked forever, and we're super grateful to have him in the PAX-COLLECTIVE!

PAX-COLLECTIVE: Amotik

Boss of the seminal Belgian techno imprint, Token, and absolute legend of the game, Kr!z returns to the series with a propulsive monster of a mix, ready to take you into the zone, halfway some demented inward dive and trance-inducing dance floor occultism. Boasting the kind of corrosive punch and textural maestria that’ve come to define his style, both elegant and tendinous, Kr!z dishes out a mind-altering treat of a sonic journey, packed to the rafters with spine-tingling climaxes and chiselled crescendos. As the true master of the craft he is, Kr!z unfolds his narrative like a sonic origami of sorts, preserving each twist and turn from easy spoiling and maintaining the kind of tension throughout that keeps you craving for that next bar like some mystic revelation. Thrilling as it gets.

Reclaim Your City 652 | Kr!z

Known for sculpting shadowy and immersive soundscapes, Ana brings a set that leans into the experimental edge of techno: rich in contrast, tension and atmosphere. Pulsing textures, unpredictable layers, and a hypnotic undercurrent shape this mix into something that feels both precise and deeply instinctive.

Desde Estocolmo nos llega un podcast increíble de la mano de uno de nuestros últimos invitados, LAKEJ el jefe de SOLITÄR Records, que estuvo presente por primera vez en nuestra ciudad en nuestro showcase de Natchstrom Schallplatten y que hoy nos regala una hora que ya nos gustaría poder disfrutar cualquier noche en una pista de baile, simplemente brutal.

¡Gracias Lakej!

Bio:
Based in Stockholm/Sweden, Lakej [ Lákeɪ ] emerges from a long heritage of Swedish techno. After many years of explorations to refine his sound, he debuted on Adriana Lopez label Grey Report with the solo EP Structural Cohesion. This debut presented a theme that would guide not only his sound but also his concepts and titles to this current date resulting in his own label and artistic platform: Solitär.With a huge love for details and rhythmic structures his music has evolved into an introspective, futuristic and yet timeless sound. With intricate textures, atmospheres and deep driving rhythms his music is constantly pushing forward contributing to the current modern underground techno scene.Since the debut his output has been steady on well established labels such as Semantica, NON series, Faut Section, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Soma and Kazerne (Mord).

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.
