Philippa Pacho

Hypnotic techno DJ from Berlin, weaving rolling grooves with rave accents.

She first honed her craft in the Swedish underground before securing a formative residency at the Stockholm club Under Bron in 2012. Her sound balances deep rolling rhythms with bright rave accents and expressive textures, a style she regularly brings to institutions like Berghain, FOLD, Basement, and Bassiani.
