Techno über-veterans Tobias Freund and Uwe Schmidt join Bryan Kasenic in New York to dig into their extensive discographies.

Tobias Freund and Uwe Schmidt are two names techno fans come across often. And while each has worked extensively on his own – Freund has mixed records for artists ranging from Milli Vanilli to Efdemin and released propulsive techno under the name tobias. since his classic Street Knowledge EP in 2006, while Schmidt has put out more albums under more pseudonyms than we’re prepared to tally – their decades-spanning musical partnership has resulted in some of the most arresting music either has had a hand in. The pair met in Frankfurt around 1990 and were part of a circle that included Ricardo Villalobos, Dandy Jack and Luciano. They began prolifically collaborating and performing live, first under their aliases Atom Heart and Pink Elln, and later, after consolidating their solo music-making under one name each, as Atom™ and Tobias. They regularly whip up luxuriously muscular live sets at such techno institutions as Berghain in Berlin, the Labyrinth in Japan and the Bunker in New York, which recently brought them through the city. During their stay, Bunker boss Bryan Kasenic brought them through the studio to discuss both their solo and collaborative work, and play an exclusive snippet of their most recent live set for the party.
