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.

Mix of the Moment: Com Truise at Movement 2011
The fine folks with the Red Bull Music Academy had the pleasure of hosting Com Truise on their stage this year at Movement 2011, and the man definitely showed up for it. For those of you who made it (still jealous—ed.), relive the magic. For the the rest of us, expect lo-fi at its most stylin’, so plug in.

This set is like having verifiable proof that music is something one lives. It’s not going to be a matter of if this one hits you smack on, but when. Holy fuck.
My minions are doing the work for me, it seems.
Check out this awesome mix from Christina Chatfield (aka Anitserk), one half of San Francisco’s beloved techno duo, Monocle.
