Select 358: Mixed by XZ5000
Swiss-based Tunisian DJ/producer XZ5000 brings us an unpredictable mix of techno, trance and bass, packed with abrasive noise textures and broken rhythms.

This week on Select, we tap into the raw energy of Tunisia’s underground scene with XZ5000. The Swiss-based DJ and producer’s sets are notorious for being abrasive and unexpected, weaving gritty textures with playful grooves that keep the dancefloor on all toes from start to finish.
In this mix, XZ5000 spins a genre-hopping mix that kicks off with slow-burning ambient soundscape before unravelling into a labyrinth of jagged percussion, warped techno patterns and trance-flecked basslines, embellished with broken rhythms and noise textures. The set features a selection of eclectic tunes, such as Felix Fleer’s ‘Eden Prime’, Isabel Soto and Kevin Ferhati’s ‘Wildflower’ and Chlär’s ‘Cipe Ortni’.
