*WELCOME beings* I am [dj TOBIAS](http://linktr.ee/fugitivephilo), vinyl selector from the underground technoscenes of Vancouver + Montréal, Canada. I have been spinning interstellar techno, house, dub & electro since 1993, along with performing/scoring electronic music, producing and playing live. I also have a long history of throwin' occupations, interventions + events, from warehouses to forests to galleries... * **Linktree** ~ For **film, words & media/sound art** and all else current, check out my [linktree](http://linktr.ee/fugitivephilo). *style* ~ I dig droppin' deep cuts, plus rare groove & technopop, but can also shake loose the ceiling tiles with bangin' techno. I have a deep love for the Afrofuturist sounds of Detroit, Chicago & Jamaica, from house and hip-hop to dub, jazz to funk and soul, ambient to industrial, minimal & techno to experimental music, post-rock to punk, and I occasionally drop vinyl sets in all these (and other) styles too. I also love atmospheric d'n'b + downtempo. * Here on Twitch, I tagteam with [djproben](http://twitch.tv/djproben) as **PANDEMiX!**, our signature b2b show, seamless vinyl mixin' from LA<–>Whistler, unique to Twitch! * Check out my **mixtapes** at [dj_tobias soundcloud](http://soundcloud.com/djtobias), with a growing archive of sets on my [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0m8YAVmxryWvxcTAZiLudnXss8dgpEt-). * I do other stuff.. as a media arts curator, I am on the Board with [Garden City Electronic Music Society](https://gcems.ca) & [Wonderment](https://wonderment.ca) festival. I am also founding director of [UpgradeMTL](http://upgrademt.org) at [SAT](http://sat.qc.ca) & founding electronic music curator of [New Forms Festival](http://newformsfestival.com/). *resistance.through.rhythm*

*Writing* ~ I've been documenting the scenes + sounds of global technocultures since the '90s, and I teach, publish, and give talks around all aspects of electronic dance music culture (edmc). As an academic my work has focused on [Afrofuturism](https://dj.dancecult.net/index.php/dancecult/issue/view/50) and [Autonomist](https://dj.dancecult.net/index.php/dancecult/article/view/286) movements in rave culture. You can find some of my articles/pieces + other work on [Scribd](https://scribd.com/tobiascvanveen). For academic takes, check out my profiles at [researchgate](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tobias-C-Van-Veen) or [academia.edu](https://csun.academia.edu/DrtobiascvanVeen).

My streams often feature the luscious & esoteric line-art that flows from the spirit of olo J. milkman, Esq., who has been a frequent & strange collaborator over the years. Check out his [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/plasmatronlaboratories) for his (free!) surreal Freak Meet radio shows, plus you can support all of his anti-art endeavours! For all other disinformation, head to [Plasmatron Laboratories](http://www.doctorplasmatron.com/freakmeet/). You may now continue with your normal daily life as if NOTHING IS WRONG.

If you feel like it, [you can direct tip me HERE](https://streamelements.com/pandemixdjs/tip) or [on Ko-Fi](https://ko-fi.com/fugitivephilo). Thanks madly.
