Zeitgeist

To kick off the lead-up to Microgram Alternative Stage at Pestapora 2025, Microgram teamed up with PATS (Party at the South) to present Zeitgeist, a spin-off event celebrating cross-genre sounds like electronic dangdut, hip hop, and DJ sets.

The lineup includes a mix of rising and returning Microgram talents such as Feel Koplo, White Chorus (DJ Set), toxicdev!, Tenxi, Naykilla & Jemsii, Mardial b2b CVX, Abdas, and Syndicath.

Zeitgeist is about capturing the spirit of the time by blending talents across generations,” said Microgram’s Adli.

The event also introduced a new wave of performers ahead of Microgram’s next phase, including a White Chorus tour in multiple cities with other Microgram talents.

With visuals inspired by 2000s rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution, Zeitgeist embraces rave and dance culture in full. PATS Sudirman was chosen as the debut venue for its strong connection to Jakarta’s dance scene.

We want to bring fresh alternative mustic to new crowds, Adli added

Feel Koplo’s Isan, one of the headliners, expressed optimism about the rise of hybrid genres:

This, 'hipdut' wave is exciting—I hope it keeps growing into 2025, especially with Microgram at Pestapora.”

Zeitgeist Microgram x PATS took place on 24January 2025 at PATS Sudirman, a perfect prelude to the main stage at Pestapora.
