With Future Music Festival 2009 kicking off this weekend, we’re taking a closer look at some of the artists on this year’s bill with a special DJ mixes showcase. For more mixes from FMF artists head to inthemix’s festival page here, where you’ll find DJ sets, as well as news updates, interviews, videos, podcast and heaps more!

A self-taught studio wizard and DJing phenomenon, Tocadisco is one of Germany’s finest, most revered dance music exports in recent years. Hailing from the uber-cool city of Cologne, since the early 2000s he’s been relentlessly dropping bomb after bomb on the world’s dancefloors. From original tracks like “Nobody Likes (the Records I Play)”, “You’re No Good For Me” and “Streetgirls”, to his storming remixes of Axwell, The Egg, Booka Shade, New Order and Moby; it’s little wonder that Tocadisco has firmly established himself as one of the most popular and exciting artists in the booth today. A firm crowd favourite in Australia, the return of this globetrotting star with the ominous tiger logo is highly anticipated…
