MODERAT share 1st single of new album MORE D4TA
Moderat and Monkeytown Records are happy to welcome you to their next chapter. Back in 2017, Moderat announced an extended break following a final concert in their hometown Berlin in front of 17.000 people – and now they return with the new single Fast Land. Check out the video and listen to the song.
The new album is called MORE D4TA, features ten new tracks and is scheduled for release on May 13, 2022. After spending the better part of two decades making music together, Sascha Ring (Apparat), Gernot Bronsert & Sebastian Szary (Modeselektor) carved out a sound and aesthetic...
Modeselektor release “Dating is in China” feat. Catnapp
It’s time for another Modeselektor-EP! Modeselektor teamed up with Catnapp for Dating is in China, based on the track Disc from the Extended-mixtape. The 6-track-EP is out today on all digital platforms and the limited vinyl release will follow on July 30. Stream, download and pre-order the EP here. Check out the video here.
While Modeselektor’s recent Extended mixtape is populated with all sorts of musical experiments, even the duo’s most ardent fans might be surprised by Dating is in China, which is quite possibly the most overtly pop track they’ve ever created. A collaboration...
Moderat “Running” Video 5 Years Anniversary
It was on this exact day 5 years ago that a little known band by the name of Moderat released their music video “Running”. Its images of abandoned planes and lonely landscapes seem oddly contemporary these days. Time to look back and reflect on this extraordinary work by director and longtime Monkeytown collaborator Jakob Grunert. There are still a few remix vinyls left in our shop 👇
Every day is 4/20 – with FJAAK!
4/20 is a significant time for a lot of people, especially for our formidable friends from FJAAK. Okay, technically every day is 4/20 for FJAAK, but still they decided to produce something extraordinary when April 20th came about: Taking the idea of the currently omnipresent live stream set, cranking it up to – you guessed it – 4/20 and thereby creating an audio & visual trip “that will make you fly away”. It’s loaded with optical distortions, funky 3D graphics and of course the finest Techno & Breaks. Treat yourself!

Modeselektor drop new album and film
“Extended”, the new album by Modeselektor, is out now. It’s a 27-track-mixtape and the DNA of a lot more to come. There are a couple of EPs that will get announced soon and each will focus on a different track from “Extended” with guest vocals, remixes and alternative versions. But that’s not all. “Work”, a 60-minutes-long-film that centers around the radical performance by otherworldly US-dancer Corey Scott-Gilbert to the music of “Extended”, is available to watch here.
“Work” is a powerful statement, a hypnotic experiment, a somatic experience and a masterfully performed and filmed...
God Save The Mixtape
“Hello friends, this is Gernot writing. Just recently I discovered what is most likely my oldest, still working mixtape and it brought back some nice memories, which I want to share with you. As the label on the tape reveals, it was recorded on October 21, 1995. I was 16 years old, still went to school, still lived with my parents. The walls in my little room were covered in rave flyers and posters since there was only one religion for me: Techno.
All my friends, including myself, were ravers, but the art of DJing fascinated me even more. I worked on construction sites during school...
