Where Beats and History Collide: A Techno-Eid Under AlUla’s Stars 

Berlin’s underground icons bring their genre-blurring Kloud series to AlUla’s mystical landscape.

As the sun sets behind the sandstone cliffs of AlUla, shadows stretch across the desert floor and the monumental silhouette of Elephant Rock begins to glow under the soft wash of twilight. It’s the kind of setting that feels timeless — until the sound kicks in.

On April 4, the otherworldly beauty of AlUla will host a one-night-only performance by Keinemusik, the Berlin-based collective known for turning unexpected spaces into euphoric dance floors. From the beaches of Tulum to the rooftops of Ibiza, Adam Port, &ME, Rampa, and Reznik have built a cult following for their genre-defying sets and signature energy. This time, they’re heading deep into the Saudi desert.

If you’ve ever lost yourself in the hypnotic rhythms of a Keinemusik set — whether in Tulum’s jungle parties or Amsterdam’s warehouse raves — you’ll know their magic lies in the unexpected. Adam Port, &ME, Rampa, and Reznik are more sonic alchemist than regular DJ, fusing deep house with Afrobeats, techno with hip-hop, until genres dissolve into pure feeling.

But why AlUla? Imagine spinning records where Nabataean traders once haggled over incense routes, where the whispers of ancient civilisations linger in the wind. This UNESCO-listed wonder, with its labyrinthine tombs and palm-fringed oases, has become Saudi Arabia’s cultural crown jewel. And MDLBEAST — the brains behind Soundstorm’s mega-raves — knows how to throw a party that respects the past while charging headfirst into the future.

So whether you’re drawn by the music, the setting, or simply looking for a fresh way to mark Eid, this is one desert gathering not to miss. So, ditch the predictable and get your tickets now.
