JakoJako x Philippa Pacho
Upclose 2025
Nothing screams 'I only listen to industrial imports' quite like the lads at the front of this gig, wearing micro-sunglasses indoors and judging anyone who smiles. They are currently having their rigid little minds blown by this JakoJako x Philippa Pacho Upclose 2025 tracklist, while desperately trying to maintain their Berlin aesthetic. The venue is a dark, strobing concrete bunker, practically vibrating from the sheer force of the low-end frequencies. This JakoJako x Philippa Pacho live set is a pure, unadulterated Techno assault, locking in at a relentless 138 BPM.
Dominating the 12A key, they construct an energy arc that is less of a wave and more of a sustained, high-voltage electric shock. The mixing style is clinical and rapid, utilizing fast cuts and heavy layering that would make any modular synth nerd weep with joy. The crate digger selections are absolutely unhinged, seamlessly dropping 'Darude - Sandstorm (JS16 Remix)' into a cavernous techno set like total madwomen. The journey takes no prisoners.
The opening track 'Unknown - Unknown' immediately establishes a punishing pace. A massive peak hits with 'Colin Benders - I Can’t Feel My Legs', living up to its name, before they cheekily end it all with the closing track, 'Ruki Vverkh - Крошка моя', leaving the techno snobs entirely confused and thoroughly sorted.
