Modeselektor
Irrereverent Berlin-based techno cut-ups Modeselektor -- producers Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary -- were known as Fundamental Knowledge from their 1992 formation until 1996, when the change of name was made. They connected with Ellen Allien's Bpitch Control label, initiating a series of 12" releases in 2002, which culminated in 2005's full-length Hello Mom! As their visibility increased with each release and live performance, they began to take on a heavier load of remix work, including mixes for several labelmates (Allien, Smash TV, TimTim, {$...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. Presenting part two in Modeselektor's "Happy Birthday!" remix series. "The Black Block" was a sure shot in every Modeselektor live show, so included is a very special live-edit, newly arranged. The Rustie remix is dubstep/grime with mean bass lines that shake your body all through and back again. Marcel Dettmann's remix is tough and uncompromising, while the Byetone remix takes it all up a notch further, pulling no punches on the dancefloor.

VINYL FORMAT. This is the first remix package of Happy Birthday!, by Berlin-based Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary aka Modeselektor. "Godspeed" and "The White Flash" (feat. Thom Yorke) are the first out of a row of remixes. "Godspeed," with its emotional bass lines, has never been released on vinyl. "The White Flash" is a stunning and acclaimed collaboration, and Trentemoller's remix is a monster with a tight beat that hits the spot. Yorke's vocals stand alone, only supported by a lovely chord.

Taking the lead in a post-techno parade along a gorgeous boulevard of heavy basses, Hello Mom! works like a sampler for acute/def/contemporary/wicked electronic music blatancy. Modeselektor's adaptation of urban catchwords like electro-IDM, booty house, Euro-crunk, continental grime, ghetto-bass, dub-step and such even get the most bored know-it-all off the barstools. Here's a taste: the record starts with a collaboration with TTC from France, in the manic shredder "Dancing Box," then turns to rap an [ read more ]
