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...

Drag & Drop, these are Nicola Romeo and Pablito:

Nicola Romeo:
The Italian Nicola Romeo was born 13.06.1979 in Hanau. When he was a boy it was certain that he had the music flowing through his veins. In 1997 he discovered his love and passion: electronic beats. He was inspired by Clubs like Omen, the Box and the Dorian. His sound reaches from Deep House to rhythmic Tech House. His first experience as a DJ took place in the Frankfurt club scene, the MTW and even Monza. Soon he had gigs abroad as well. He performed in Austria, Turkey, Italy and the Netherlands. In 2003, fuessewackeln.de was born. It’s an event series which is very successful in the Main Kinzig area. Today, Nicola is a constant part of the electronic scene in Frankfurt. Since October 2012 he also manages the even series “We are together”, taking place at Dora Brilliant in Frankfurt. But that’s still not everything. Apart from his first release at Get Physical’s “kindisch label” he will also be representing Dj Mags’ Promo-Compilation.

Pablito:
Pablito was born on 3 July, 1988 in southern Italy. In his early ages, he already discovered his passion for music. When he was eleven years old, he was given a Synthesizer. This instrument changed his whole view of music. He began to dig in a new world, the electronic music. He loves to play, hear and work with it. It developed an impressive musical career which results with a 39. Rank in the top 100 Beatport Minimal Charts in August 2011 with a EP of the well known “no-Logik records” label. This EP was released by Deniele Petronelli. His new piece “What the Phunk” was released by DJ Pablito and “no-Logik x-mas 2011” in December 2011. This happened with the support of some very popular international DJs, like Koen Groeneveld, VAN DER Zvan Addy, Daniele Petronelli, Alex Young, Laidback Luke, BINGO PLAYERS, Emrah Celik, Louie CUT, Angy Kore, Mario Miranda, Mark Ramsey, Andrés Gil , MIN & MAL, Natalino Nunes and many more. Along 2012 Pablito performed in popular clubs like the Cocoon, Tanzhaus West, the Papierfabrik, ss radio London and some festivals in turkey. He continues his journey with modesty while hoping to reach the olymp of DJs some day…
