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...

Cinematique is proud to present the next release. We welcome back our friends of 10dens for their final EP.

Yes, you've read it right: final EP. Earlier this year the duo unfortunately decided to stop making music as 10dens due to musical differences and the distance between the cities where they live. They've chosen to continue their friendship instead of risking it because of the music and the conflicts it sometimes brought along, something we can only respect. So let's think about all the good memories and wonderful music they've left. It will be followed for sure by new and exciting solo stuff of both Michael and Jurriën.

Having said that, we are honored to bring you this final 10dens release. Although their last full EP was released in the early days of the label, back in 2011, we have always considered them as close members of the Cinematique family. After their well acclaimed EP 'When the Skyline Crumbles' we've had the pleasure to release some loose tracks on Midnight Beats, remixes and especially their beautiful version of CardioWave's 'Dark Room' together with NY Fan. We are sure this final release will be a brilliant addition to their impressive discography and of course we do wish them both all the best with their future productions.

Please follow us separately if you're interested in our solo projects:

If you have ever played some keys and chords on an organ, you know it has an unbelievable rich and warm sound and a power that can easily fill a whole song. With that idea in mind we started Organ. It took us quite a while to find the right sound and still added a good amount of color, drive and lots and lots of LFO modulation until we were satisfied. We simply had to make sure it goes into your ear and from there directly under your skin. Needless to say, we even split the organ into different voices with different variations. Finishing the song probably took us half a dozen versions and a lot blood, sweat and tears. But our emotional rollercoaster finally paid off and is now captured inside the song.

Reve Perdu est un projet atypique, né en pleine nuit à la suite d'une dizaine d'heure de travail seulement. L'imperfection de la technique nous transmet une réelle émotion, ou le thème est tout simplement un amour perdu. 
Bon voyage.
