Moderat. El disco duro se me llena cada semana y a ese ritmo debo salvar más información en nuevos DVDs, lo malo de esto es ya no tener a la mano toda tu colección de música, lo bueno es que cuando la retomas, te da por poner a girar canciones que no escuchabas hace años. Y luego, luego te quedas pegado a ellas, como si fuese la primera vez que las escucharas. Esos asuntos, me llevaron al Happy Birthday! (2007) de Modeselektor, específicamente a Let Your Love Grow, interpretada por el genial [...]
![Nouveau Palais – Avant Gang EP [album review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4308121_lg.jpg)
The term "super-group" has a long history of disappointment. In the past forty years alone, there have been dozens of so-called "super-groups" that, to put it nicely, were not so super. However, after scouring Google for lists of the most infamous 'super-groups', it occurred to me that there have been very few unsuccessful electronic 'super-groups'. In fact, the majority of electronic 'super-groups' have met with considerable success . Don't believe me? Think of Swedish House Mafia, ( Axwell , Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso ) Moderat ( Apparat and Modeselektor ) [...]

I've been doing some life stitching lately. My last job really wore me down and I wasn't aware just how much it was affecting me. But I'm loving the new job and I've done some stuff I was neglecting; dentist visit, contact lenses, planning my future adventures, reconnecting with friends and not whining about negative shit all the time... I feel like I've woken up. And I'm not putting up with arseholes anymore. Things are good. The one thing that's dropped off is phoner interviews for this blog and bma. I'll have to get back into it very soon! [...]
![[Film] Xavier Dolan’s ‘Laurence Anyways’](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4176066_lg.jpg)
Instantly becoming one of my most anticipated films of the year, Québécois wunderkind Xavier Dolan's third feature-length film Laurence Anyways has an effortlessly gorgeous three-minute trailer out right now, and while his films are a bit hit/miss for me, there's no denying the talent and style that the now 23 year-old director possesses. Set to hit theaters in Quebec this summer, and expected to premiere at Cannes, the film is set in 1989 and tells the story of a man named Laurence who decides he wants to become a woman on his 30th birthday.

Nu er The Devil’s Walk endelig landet til preview, og første lyt skuffer ikke! Her er den nye single Song Of Los — se, hør, stream: Og giv så hele pladen et spin! [...]

It takes a fair amount of patience and digging to find refreshing perspectives on music that aren't rehashing the same old ideas and influences. Sometimes, when a person first comes across these revelatory ways of thinking, the music can be overlooked because the change is either disregarded as 'too radical,' or it gets lost amongst the plethora of new daily releases and ultimately becomes nothingness, never to possess adequate coverage. Aerea Negrot's sophomore release for German's BPitch Control (home to more well known acts Modeselektor , Apparat , and their conglomerate moniker Moderat [...]

Tyske Apparat (Sascha Ring) er til efteråret klar med et nyt album, nærmere bestemt den 27. September 2011. Det kommer til at hedde The Devil’s Walk , og at dømme efter de par smagsprøver, der indtil videre er sluppet løs, er der noget rigtig stort i vente. Apparat er en mester ud i kunsten at kombinere elektroniske lyde og klassiske instrumenter og få de mange lag til at harmonere perfekt. Som i nummeret Ash/Black Veil , der med sin tindrende smukke crescendo opbygning og Saschas følsomme røst, rummer afsindige dybder. [...]

Created as a mad fun-house and disaster zone by UK beloved artists, the Unfairgrounds entranced those looking to escape from the chaos of the Glastonbury Festival this past weekend and buy a ticket to enjoy themselves in a plane and car crash, zombie-filled carnival. Thom York and Nigel Of Radiohead joined in on the fun, and played a surprise guest DJ set to the limited amount of people that decided to cross over to the dark side. Below is a personal message from Thom , and a mixtape of what [...]

Germany’s Sascha Ring is a busy bee. If he’s not creating electronic soundscapes every weekend in shows all over Europe as alter ego Moderat, he’s working as Apparat; the lofty floating vessel Ring boards when a more relaxed mood suits him. This September sees the fourth release under the Apparat name: The Devil’s Walk (9/27/11). [...]

Género: IDM, tecno, indietronic. Apparat , Moderat , Modeskeletor ... el berlinés Sascha Ring, presente en todos ellos, aunque con protagonismo en exclusiva con el primero, pondrá a la venta su cuarto disco el 27 de septiembre y se titulará Devil's Walk del que nos adelanta y regala Black Water . Parece que el IDM y el tecno dejan paso al pop trónico ensoñador, donde también tiene cabida su voz. Canción en permanente y calmado crecimiento, [...]
I was cruising through some old RBMA lectures recently when I stumbled across this Moderat (a collaboration between Modeselektor and Apparat ) video released a few years back. With a dreamy, melancholic chord progression under a driving synth bass and 6/8 drum feel, this track is hard to stop listening to. The three gents toured together through 2009 and some of 2010, with Resident Advisor voting them the best live act of 2009, and if their live shows incorporated a similar hypnotic blend present in [...]

A blissful piece of electronica to slide you into the week. Berlin's Apparat, one third of the giant electronic collaboration Moderat, announces details of his new album along with a free download of a new track. Scheduled for release on London's Mute imprint, Apparat's new material sees him move away from the mammoth production style [...]

Butlins is such a perfect venue for a music festival it’s surprising that its only in the last few years that they’ve opened up the English seaside resort to All Tomorrow Parties and BLOC during their off season. Located in the sleepy town of Minehead, visitors are isolated enough to feel that they’ve gotten away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life but not too displaced that they can't find a supermarket selling cheap beer. Given that the accommodation and stages are already provided, there is little for the organisers to do except find a sound system and book [...]

Aphex Twin se presentó en el Bloc Weekend, un festival en el Reino Unido en el que se presentaron muchos exponentes importantes de la música electrónica actual, entre los que encontramos a Moderat, Vitalic, Matthew Dear, Joy Orbison, Four Tet, LFO, Magnetic Man y más. Afortunadamente, un usuario en Youtube, identificado como phresch , nos comparte este video de 15 minutos que, considerando que se tomó a alguna alta hora de la madrugada en medio de una nube de sudor en una pista de baile, no se ve nada mal. Entre los destacados que podemos identificar [...]

First there was Aphex Twin . Then there was Magnetic Man . The likes of Jamie xx , Four Tet and Vitalic followed. As everything turns 'doo-lally in a rather pleasant and unpredictable way' down on Bloc Weekend HQ, the final, predictably startling headliner has been revealed as Laurent Garnier , closing the weekend's hedonistic proceedings alongside Matthew Dear . The (practically) full, stage-by-stage, or curator-by-curator line up now looks something like: Union: Magnetic Man * Beardyman * Claude Von Stroke * [...]
