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.

Known for Change, Day That Never Comes, Moving On, Desire, Grace

Bob Moses + Sacramento

Bob Moses played Ace of Spades in Sacramento on September 21, 2018, with a 14-song set from their earlier touring days. "Heaven Only Knows" and "Battle Lines" opened the night, and "Too Much Is Never Enough" and "Talk" followed. Deep cuts like "Nothing but You" and "Eye for an Eye" mixed with the bigger tracks -- "Enough to Believe," "Like It or Not," and "All I Want" all landed. They closed with "Tearing Me Up," saving their most recognizable song for last. Sacramento's Ace of Spades is an intimate room, and 14 songs of live-electronic atmosphere filled it perfectly.
