So I've compiled a mixtape over at the other blog ( cavacool ) I contribute to. It's composed of a few artists that I've already discussed here at ATM and a few I have yet to delve into. Overall, it's 28 tracks of French electro/indie pop, Spanish dream pop, hip hop trip hop, d'n'b r'n'b, house, dance, nujazzz...you name it and at least one of the featured artist covers it in some way! It's a great listen so click on the mixtape to see the full track list! Thanks =)

Modeselektor (aka Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary) and Apparat (aka Sascha Ring) have reformed as Moderat. Moderat’s formation began back in 2002 when Modeselektor and Apparat recorded an EP, Auf Kosten der Gesundheit . Before recording their debut, they suddenly broke up. But now after seven years, they have reformed and are releasing their full-length self-titled debut. The album was recorded at Berlin Hansa Studios (where David Bowie recorded Heroes ), in order to record the album in analog using the studio’s vintage tube technology and an old EMI console from 1972, restored especially for Moderat.

Moderat is Modeselektor and Apparat.

Yes! Midterms over for now and Reading Week is upon us (at least for me in Edmonton). Most people I know are going to Mexico or Vancouver or somewhere that isn't -20 degrees. Lucky them. I've been listening to some wikkid stuff and haven't had time until now to share. So, I decided to make a mixtape. Woohoo! Before I start with the tracklist, I was listening to the Lonely Island's Incredibad release which Kevin recently posted about . It's not a bad comedy release. Some of the stuff on there is pretty funny. One [...]

Want de week gaat snel en het is weer weekend. Dit keer 7 liedjes voor de prijs van twee. Als je ze luistert begrijp je wat ik bedoel.

Rafale - Rock it don't stop it [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Modeselektor - Nightcreatures [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Related posts [...]

Or Moderat . There will be a new album from these German B-Pitch boys coming out somewhere this year. All of you better keep a lookout as I am sure it is not to be missed. Now I've came across few old collabos between the B-Pitch lineups, go listen. See last year I hugged and shook hands with the very beautiful Ellen Allien and she said she'd be back at Zouk this year too, can't wait. Moderat - Mode 2 Ellen Allien and Apparat - Jet [...]

And then releases this: The Sony Vaio P (starts at 900USD) is what they call a "Lifestyle PC" but is clearly a netbook , akin to the netbook avalanche the tech world has seen recently with the Eee, MSI Wind, and even HP has an offering. The intensely high resolution screen (1600768) is very ridiculously sharp, but unfortunately hard to read even for people with perfect vision. It comes with an Intel Atom processor @ 1.3Ghz (US model), which proves to be pretty [...]

After reading an article on that guy on Ohh! Crapp and completely agreeing with what it stated, I decided to present this great producer from Germany named Siriusmo. I do think he's one of the most interesting DJ on Boys Noize records, though I think D.I.M. can be really good. This guy is smoother and more harmonic but does not put aside the crunchy electronic sound that share almost all producers on this label. So here are two recent tracks (one remix of German disco producer Munk and the other of Puppetmastaz rappers) and I also incuded some older ones [...]

Goed nieuws voor de fans van Modeselektor en Apparat , want Sascha Ring, Sebastian Szary en Gernot Bronsert slaan de handen wederom ineen om onder de naam Moderat in april een album uit te brengen. Dit is overigens niet de eerste keer dat zij werken aan een gezamenlijk project; in 2003 kwam de EP "Auf Kosten der Gesundheit" uit op het label BPitch Control en ook op de langspeler "Happy Birthday!" en de compilatie "Things To Be Frickled" zijn tracks onder de naam Moderat te vinden. Op de releasedatum na is er nog [...]

Bon, je sais que je n’ai pas trop été loquace la semaine dernière mais voici un petit quelquechose qui devrait me faire pardonner. Modeselektor @ Montreal Igloofest (23jan09) ( Mediafire ) James Holden @ Montreal Igloofest (30jan09) ( MegaUpload ) Modeselektor Myspace James Holden Myspace

That's right; its time to dance outside, at night, in January . Personally I'm gonna hit up Modeselektor (grab some of his tunes here ) and Housemeister tonight, and next week Adam Freeland (!) and Evil Nine are coming through. Its about time we got some good European DJs around here. Anyway here's what's on my playlists now: Sex Bomb (Adam Freeland Remix) - Spinnerette ; Kinda explicit but totally sweet. Drop The Tough [The Twelves B-LIVE Remix] - Groove [...]

Pour certains qui ne pourront y être, je vous aurais bien dit: "Restez chez vous, il fera trop froid, ça va être d’la merde." Mais malheureusement pour ceux-là, c’est pas ça qui risque de se passer : température prévu : 1 degré, température ressentie : –4 degrés, faible neige. La température idéale pour aller faire un gros fuck you à l’hiver dans le Vieux-Port pour le 2e weekend de l’igloofest avec oui je sais, j’me répète, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi, je prends un malin plaisir à le répéter comme ça sans cesse Modeselektor. Prodigy [...]

It's been a while since we've written about a show that we're truly excited for. Well, thankfully we've been graced with an upcoming gig that seems to be a little larger than life. Modeselektor has been around for a while, remixing the likes of Bjork, and collaborating with the likes of Thom Yorke. It's no secret, that this Berlin-based duo have made a name for themselves and placed their footprint on the electronic music map. This Thursday, Toronto is very happy to welcome Modeselektor at the Social. The night is full of [...]
Modeselektor seem to be getting bigger and bigger these days, playing larger festivals and working on a wide range of collaborations with some of the best in electronic music and high figures such as Radiohead . Still it's funny that when playing in Toronto, a venue like The Soush is more than large enough. I remember last time Modeslektor was in town, in 2006. They played at one of the classic Math Hooker parties that Knifehandchop and Sincere Trade used to throw. I [...]
On the last battle of Round 1 , Music Is Art took PMA on. They were a worthy adversary - one that almost got us beat! But in the end, PMA won with 51% of the votes (by the smallest margin yet!). Now, now, I won't say much because I'm sure plenty of people are ready to tell me that PMA won because of the "homefield advantage." Maybe so, eh? But what's done is done so let's move one the the Second Round of this Blog War! To remind you all, the blogs that made it were: [...]

Les organisateurs de l’igloofest (Piknic Electronik) proposent cette année une version améliorée de leur fête hivernale. En effet, ils ont décidé de tripler la dose de rythmes glaciale avec maintenant 6 soirées sous les étoiles qui s’échelonneront sur les 3 derniers weekend de janvier. Pour seulement 10$ par soirée (ou 40$ pour une passe donnant accès au 6 soirées), il vous sera possible de banger sur du beat en tout genre proposé par des grosses pointures de l’electro (au sens large du terme). Perso, la soirée qui retient le plus mon attention est celle du vendredi 23 janvier [...]
