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...

MODERAT " Bad Kingdom " ( Lauren Laverne BBC 6Music RIP ) MONKEYTOWN OUT NOW

TALK DIRTY Steve Smart & Westfunk Club Mix

Mercury’s in retrograde
Don't believe a thing I say
You know I don't believe that stuff 
My mind's only made of dust

The echo always said get real
Mostly I just go by feel
Kick it first if it don't start 
Don’t need tools I got my heart

Are we free, or afraid 
Of what we’re told
Are we out of or under 
Control

When Saturn returns I begin
To trust in patterns more than men
Or the stories that they tell
Even when they tell them well

The echo always sounded good
Until I finally understood 
I only had to open the door
Now I don’t trust the echo anymore

Are we free, or afraid 
Of what we’re told
Are we out of or under 
Control

All these planets pulling me around 
They pulled my face into a frown
Even though my minds made up
My mind's only made of dust
From stars and clouds and oceans all unseen
From stars and clouds and oceans all unseen

Are we free, or afraid 
Of what we’re told
Are we out of or under 
Control

From Here To Now To You

Don't Believe A Thing I Say

Alexander - Truth

"I was introduced to Abi at the end of 2010 through a mutual friend - Johnny Dub who co-runs the excellent Manchester night hoya:hoya. Instantly I was blown away by her voice.
I sent her some stuff that was on a slightly different tip to my usual beats. She dug it, sent it back, I worked on it some more - Tobyjug was born and i'm glad to say it has been the start of a long working relationship and friendship.
 
We worked together a lot last year on her solo material and the year culminated in Abi flying to Berlin to work with Benjamin Damage and I on our recent album They!Live. 
 
I love this song. Hope you do too x"

Moby - Extreme Ways

When you try your best, but you don't succeedWhen you get what you want, but not what you needWhen you feel so tired, but you can't sleepStuck in reverseWhen the tears come streaming down your faceWhen you lose something you can't replaceWhen you love someone, but it goes to wasteCould it be worse?
Lights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix you
High up above or down belowWhen you too in love to let it goIf you never try you will never knowJust what your worth
Lights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your faceWhen you lose something you cannot replaceTears stream down on your faceAnd I..
Tears stream down your faceI promise you I will learn from my mistakesTears stream down on your faceAnd I..
Lights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix you. [Share lyrics on Facebook]

Flux Pavilion - The Story Of Shadrok

DJ Khaled ~ No New Friends (SFTB Remix) Feat. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne

Back when all my little goals 
Seemed so important
And every pot of gold 
Filling full of distortion
Heaven was a place still in space 
Not in motion
But soon

I got you, I got everything
I’ve got you, I don't need nothing
More than you, I got everything
I’ve got you

We went walking through the hills 
Trying to pretend that we both know
Maybe if we save up 
We could build a little home
But then the hail storm came
It yelled "you need to let go,
You've got no control" 

I got you, I got everything
I’ve got you, I don't need nothing
More than you, I got everything
I’ve got you

This weight’s too much alone
Some days I can't hold it at all
If you take it on for me
When tomorrow is too much
I'll carry it all
I got you

When tomorrow is too much
I'll carry it all
I got you

I got you, I got everything
I’ve got you, I don't need nothing
More than you, I got everything
I’ve got you

I Got You

Thanks you all for your support. Much love from Paris.
