About Bob Moses
Bob Moses is the electronic music project of Tom Howie and Imad Royal, two producers who've spent the last decade building something that actually sounds like the future instead of chasing it. They started in Brooklyn making house and techno that felt weirdly human for something made on computers, which is kind of their whole thing. Tracks like Change became underground fixtures without needing much radio play. Their albums—Desire, Battle Lines, and Crack the Skies—lean into that sweet spot between dancefloor functionality and actual emotional weight. You can hear them in clubs where people care about the production, or in festivals where electronic music acts get real lineup slots. They're not trying to be transcendent or community-building or any of that. They just make songs that work when you're moving and also when you're sitting at home at 2 AM wondering about something.
Bob Moses shows move methodically, building pressure rather than hitting you fast. Crowds are locked in, not jumping around frantically. The production is clean and precise. They're the kind of set where people actually face the stage and pay attention.

Bob Moses + Chicago
Bob Moses has maintained a solid presence in Chicago's electronic music scene. Their last visit to Castaways on July 19, 2025 continued that thread—the kind of show where their hypnotic, layered production translates well to a venue built for that kind of immersion. They've proven themselves reliable draws here, the type of act that builds things slowly.

Live Music in Chicago
Chicago's electronic music scene has deep roots in house and techno, but it's also become a hub for thoughtful indie-electronic acts in recent years. Bob Moses fits somewhere in that intersection — their production-heavy, groove-oriented approach shares DNA with house music's backbone while leaning into the introspective, guitar-tinged aesthetics that appeal to the indie crowd.
Chicago road trip to see Bob Moses?
Stay in Lincoln Park or Wicker Park depending on your vibe—both neighborhoods have real character and plenty of late-night options. Book dinner at Alinea if you're feeling ambitious, or hit RPM Italian for something excellent and less impossible to get into. Spend an afternoon at the Art Institute, then walk along the Lakefront. The city's got enough to fill a weekend without feeling like you're checking boxes. Catch the show, eat well, and remember why you liked this band in the first place.
