Moderat is an electronic music project that originated in Berlin, Germany. It started as a collaboration between Sascha Ring, also known as Apparat, and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, also known as Modeselektor.

MODERAT

ARTIST: Moderat
TITLE: Bad Kingdom
LABEL: Monkeytown
R/D: OUT NOW

Moderat are Modeselektor and Apparat...

Hardly anybody has brought electronic music from Berlin to the farthest flung corners of the world with more passion and enthusiasm than these two heavyweights.

Modeselektor – Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary – are bass music heroes. Together with a veritable army of collaborators, guest artists and with their two labels Monkeytown and 50 Weapons, they have built a broad network. They assimilate and process the tiniest vibrations in the global bass continuum and at the same time, their wobbly salvos and their oblique sense of humour are unmistakable. They became known to a select audience through their records on BPitch Control with which they catapulted themselves out of the Berlin 4/4 cosmos, whilst simultaneously reflecting the raw and full-on spirit of the 1990s Berlin club scene.

Apparat (real name: Sascha Ring) could hardly be more opposite. He fuses tricky electronics with heartfelt and auspicious pop. Together with T.Raumschmiere, he founded Shitkatapult. From early on, Apparat realised that the LP was his preferred form of expression. With each album, he reinvented himself on a personal, stylistic and social level: gradually bringing ever more strata of his emotional persona to light, exploring previously unknown musical styles and involving guest musicians in the process.

In 2002, Sascha, Gernot and Sebastian met for the first time. At that point in time, Apparat and Modeselektor were well established in the Berlin music scene. Sascha had already released his debut album and Gernot and Sebastian, a series of 12”s. Their shared studio time wore them down to such an extent, that they were forced to shelve the project almost immediately. But the foundations were laid and the three of them were able to present the fruits of their labour: the “Auf Kosten der Gesundheit” EP. Eleven years later, one still can have a sense of the sparks that must have flown in the studio: complex beats wrestling with furious bass and reduced rap elements.

Six years went by before they got together again. In the mean time both acts had established sensationally successful careers. In 2005, Modeselektor’s debut album “Hello, Mom!” gained them international recognition at light speed. Pitchfork rejoiced and Thom Yorke constantly mentioned them. Their second album featured vocals from Otto von Schirach, Maximo Park and... Thom York. Modeselektor stormed the festival stages and were honoured by Beatport and Resident Advisor.

Apparat had not just one but two breakthrough albums: in 2006 and together with Ellen Allien, he founded the “Orchestra of Bubbles”, with which the two of them explored the language of song. In 2007 he released “Walls”, his first time working with a band. He developed a live show that fused together acoustic and electronic, and club and pop music. Just as with Modeselektor, Apparat is the epitome of the Berlin sound, but nonetheless lifts the sounds of the city to another level. Significantly, both acts toured with Radiohead.

In 2008, Gernot, Sebastian and Sascha came together once again. Their eponymous debut album was released on April 20, 2009. Busdriver, the Californian rapper, the German reggae heroes Seeed and the dup poet Paul St. Hilaire joined them on a several songs. Perhaps the secret of Modeselektor’s and Apparat’s collaboration lies in the fact that they never even tried to get close to one another. Modeselektor’s thundering bass rumbles in the cellar, Apparat’s sensitive and subtle melodies float high in the eaves. The fact that what one assumes to be incompatible actually communicates, is what makes Moderat so unique. Moderat is not just a studio project: with a set of visuals created for these concerts by Pfadfinderei, they toured all five continents.

With Monkeytown and 50 Weapons, Modeselektor created a highly potent label empire, which unites the music scene’s old heroes with crazy bass kids. The two of them have curated a whole stage at the Melt! Festival a number of times and have released their third album. Apparat travelled the world with the freshly re-formed Apparat Band. He relinquished his position as auteur for the first time by becoming part of a theatre performance and in the album that resulted, released the raw and mostly unedited sessions.

Now, twelve years after their first meeting, Modeselektor and Apparat have come together once again: more mature, but not worldly-wise, wiser but not unquestioning, more experienced but without having sacrificed any of their pioneer spirit. 

They release the 1st single "Bad Kingdom" today 1st July 2013 and drop longplayer " II "  in August 2013 through Monkeytown Records ... You can catch Moderat Live in the UK at Eastern Electriks Knebworth House on August 2nd 2013...

-----------------------------
I am lost without You, But now I'm lost with You too
How can I know what to do,When what You tell me isn't True
Learn to Discern, Is what You say
When in my Fury, I turn away
Show me Your Sign, Water and Wine
I need You to be, More than a Voice in me
Show me Your Face, Or at least some Proof of Your Grace
I need You to be, More than a Light in me
At least today
Hold me closer in my Pain
But You have caused it all the same
Why don't You Practice what You Preach?
What Good has come of this, the way You Teach?
Learn to Discern
Is what You say
When in my Fury
I turn away
Show me Your Sign
Leave me Alone
Let me be without my hopes
Without my fears
No, don't leave me, let me
See the Truth
Taste my tears, my bitter tears
Caused by You

Major Lazer - Watch Out For This (Bumaye) feat. Busy Signal, The Flexican & FS Green

Taking on the otherworldly debut single from up-and-coming Sydney duo Ginger & The Ghost is Academy grad and hard-working beat maestro Ta-ku. Staying with the half-eerie, half-triumphant air of the original, but adding some serious bite with his signature drum assault, Ta-ku leaves his mark on the ominous cut. Dark, light, the real and the imaginary intertwine as two of Australia's most promising artists collide for this RBMA exclusive.

Moderat - Seamonkey (Ellen Allien Remix)

Dear reader, this is sort of a listening track mixtape. But not in that funky DJ Koze way, more in that shut-up-listen-and-learn way. Learn something about the more specific state of electronic music in 2013 and learn something about the musical mind of CRATO who actually gave this mixtape the title "6.7.1998". 

CRATO is one of the three heads behind MAGAZINE from Cologne (https://soundcloud.com/magazine-records). This very demanding and prolific music label run by Jens-Uwe Beyer, Barnt and CRATO is also known for its highly visual approach with special limited editions. Every single release is another piece of art. Their first ten records paid respect to the contemporary electronic music tradition of the German Rhineland. From their 11th release on they will switch their musical as well as their visual concept. Fans, stay keen till MAGAZINE'S next release on JULY 29th by WASSERMANN.

Another fine piece of craftsmanship these renaissance men publish is their mono thematic book project PUBLIC FOLDER. There is a very special edition on the way. We are really looking forward to the publication based on the visual aspect of the Voyager Golden Record. It will be released this Autumn/Winter. Yes, exactly, that fine golden disc they put outside the voyager with all the information imprinted intelligent extraterrestrial life needs to know about human mankind on Earth. Don't worry if the search takes a bit longer — the durability of the disc in space is at least 1 billion years.

A seal of quality. It's the banner for a global network of friendships and creativity and - let's not forget - parties.
Made in Berlin. International. One of the most polyphonic chords ever struck by an electronic music label: Techno, Electronica, Indie, IDM, Pop, Beats, Song Writing. 
What matters is music that moves: bodies, spirits, emotions.
