Automat is the electronic music alias of German producer Tobias Freund, a seasoned figure in Berlin's techno and experimental scenes since the 1980s. Known for his hardware-driven, hypnotic grooves, Freund blends minimalism with psychedelic textures, often collaborating with artists like Max Loderbauer (as NSI.) or contributing to projects with the storied Perlon label crew. His work as Automat emphasizes raw, improvisational jams and dubby oscillations, landing on respected imprints like ESP Institute and his own Non Standard Productions.
Recent releases like *Heat* and *Modul* showcase his knack for pulsing, analog warmth, while remix EPs attract leftfield giants like Ricardo Villalobos, Acid Pauli, and Deadbeat—a testament to his enduring influence in underground circles. Whether tweaking modular synths or embracing stripped-back rhythms, Automat remains a bridge between techno's roots and its freaky future.
