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.

Gold Panda to Release DJ-KiCKS Mix
Sought-after producer Gold Panda is set to drop a mix at the end of this year in !K7’s renowned series that has seen contributions from an ever-expanding range of producers, musicians, and DJs alike, and though there isn’t too much new material to be found in the track listing (below), it’s fair to say the overall selection here is impeccable. There is, however, some new material from Mr. Panda himself, which of course comes with some degree of high expectation, and should be interesting to hear mixed in with his chosen eclectic range of house, techno, bass music, and elemental electronic pieces. You can find this one out on October 31/ November 1.

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: Slash Dot Dash Podcast 006: Kenneth Christiansen
Over the weekend, Slash Dot Dash released the sixth installment of their podcast series, featuring a three hour dub techno mix from Echocord and Pattern Repeat label boss Kenneth Christiansen. If you’ve been convinced at this point that dub techno is boring, this is a mix you need to hear, because it is quite seriously faith-restoringly good (and how it’s done, to be honest—ed). Rather than a mix that drives on forever toward nowhere, here you’ll hear all the things the more boring contributors to the genre left us to believe were verboten: creamy synths, warm soundscapes, catchy hooks, and danceable beats, even. Christiansen goes out of his way to keep things interesting by doing what every DJ ought: he takes his banner genre and forces it to its very edge in every direction possible. This is an excellent introduction, a brilliant refresher, and for those of us who drank the kool-aid and never looked back, a whole lot of told ya so.
