Pentaphobe, the performing pseudonym of Keili Olsen, is an Australian electronic musician (born in London, England). He primarily produces a blend of warped industrial breaky sounds mixed with "discovered samples" (audio recorded in day-to-day life) which has evolved into a rather general classification he terms "Middle Industrian" (a blend of middle-eastern rhythms and structures using electronic instruments rather than sampling from recordings).

Pentaphobe's music was featured in performances by Rachel Brice of The Indigo Belly Dance Company and The Bellydance Superstars beginning in 2003.
