Mix of the Moment: Objekt | Leisure System Radio Mix
Mystery producer of the moment TJ Hertz, aka Objekt, brings us a promo mix in advance of his scheduled performance for Leisure System at Berghain on September 16 (and by the way, that lineup looks ridiculous). In keeping with the vagueness of his persona, he states at the very beginning of the recording, “Here’s some music I won’t be playing,” and for what you can expect not to hear, it’s definitely quite the gamut of listening, ranging from Jaco Pastorius to Emptyset to Rhythm & Sound and even some Radiohead. You can listen to the mix in its entirety below, or you can download it here.

Mix of the Moment: tobias. Live at Berghain 9.7.11
Just in time for the weekend comes this bit of hard, dark techno from Tobias Freund’s latest incarnation, tobias. Taken from the release party for his album, Leaning Over Backwards (Ostgut Ton), that took place at Berghain last month, this is a deeply gratifying set that jacks hard, but still retains that body-moving tight balance between tension and release that has become so characteristic of the Berlin-based sound. Throughout his performance, tobias. treats his album as a show piece, creating one of the best recent examples of a truly aurally immersive dancefloor experience. We’re now very much looking forward to the moment this man gets an opportunity to wow audiences stateside. You can listen to/ download his mix below.
