A podcast / production mix I did for the guys at Trace A Line, a French music blog.
Lots of as yet unreleased stuff. You can stream the mix here:

“In the mysterious producers’ family, whose releases can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and of whom you can barely find a decent picture on the web, here’s The Third Man. Behind that aka is hiding Toby Leeming, a 26 year old Londoner in love with Detroit’s old classics (UR, Robert Hood) and big English club culture names like LFO or A Guy Called Gerald. His first EP released in 2008 on the highly select and underground Ai Records was covered with glory by numerous influent producers, and then was quickly followed by two other EPs, still on the same label. Then, Toby met Kirk DeGiorgio who signed him on Applied Rhythmic Technology, and from this were born the tracks Messier 66, and above all Tangier, a timeless masterpiece which recalled some old Detroit’s classics, like DJ Rolando’s Knights of the Jaguar.
If The Third Man’s productions are that much sensational, it’s because they are deeply inspired by old school Detroit Techno but with something more actual, more new though. You’ll realize this in a short time while listening to this podcast, which only features Toby’s tracks, unreleased for most of them. And believe me, we got here one of our best podcasts ever released.”
