Microgram x PATS: Zeitgeist 2025

To kick off the road to Microgram Alternative Stage at Pestapora 2025, Microgram joined forces with PATS (Party at the South) for Zeitgeist—a spin-off series introducing a genre-blending celebration of electronic, dangdut, hip-hop, and DJ culture. The event bridges directly to the upcoming Alternative Stage, featuring performers who have played or will perform there, including Feel Koplo, White Chorus (DJ Set), toxicdev!, Tenxi, Naykilla & Jemsii, Mardial b2b CVX, Abdas, and Syndycath. According to Adli from Microgram, Zeitgeist aims to spotlight emerging names like Tenxi, Naykilla & Jemsii, and toxicdev! alongside established acts such as Feel Koplo, Mardial, and White Chorus—reflecting the event’s name, which means “the spirit of the time” in German.

Adli explains that Zeitgeist serves as a warm-up to a new era for the Microgram Alternative Stage, with more spin-off events and a White Chorus Tour set to follow. Drawing inspiration from 2000s rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution and Pump It Up, the event celebrates dance culture for nightlife enthusiasts and partygoers—making PATS the ideal venue as a melting pot for Jakarta’s youth scene. As one of the headliners, Isan from Feel Koplo expressed excitement for this new wave of electronic and dangdut fusion: “It’s great to see this ‘hipdut’ wave grow stronger. Hopefully, 2025 will be an even more exciting year for the scene, especially with the Microgram Alternative Stage at Pestapora.” Zeitgeist Microgram x PATS took place on 24 January 2025 at PATS Sudirman.
