FACTs 300th mix comes from almost certainly our dance music newcomer of 2011, Berlin’s Objekt.
Objekt hasn’t released much in 2011, but his first self-released single, ‘Tinderbox’ / ‘The Goose That Got Away’, was such an impressive amalgamation of half-step atmospherics and rickety techno drum programming that people were convinced it was the work of a more established producer under a new alias, while its follow up paired one of the year’s most stratospheric techno tracks (‘CLK Recovery’) with a B-side that proved that club-stopping dubstep drops don’t have to be stupid in 2011 (‘Unglued’).
Objekt’s FACT mix is roughly in line with the music he’s released so far: underground techno full of staggered drums and inventive sampling, presented impeccably while never sounding too straight, smooth or unnatural. No tracklist provided, but there appears to be at least one unreleased Objekt cut in there for the spotters.

anyone know what track 14 is? sounds familiar
Loving this mix, after Objekt released 'cactus/porcupine' i am an avid follower.
That first unknown one is DHS House of God think it's the pump panel mix? Cracking set.
"whatever-you-want-to-call-it" anything but post-dubstep!
This is some of the best techno/IDM/post-dubstep/whatever-you-want-to-call-it I've heard this year! So forward-thinking, but doesn't forget to move butts. Thanks for the mix, FACT. I'll definitely look out for new Objekt tracks.
