Modeselektor is a German electronic music duo consisting of Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary. The group draws heavily from IDM, glitch, electro house and hip hop. In an interview the group said regarding their sound: "Happy metal, hard rap, country-ambient, Russian crunk. We don’t like it if people tag us as being a certain style or school or scene or whatever. We don’t really care about all that." 〔http://www.northernights.co.uk/listings.php?id=662〕 ==History== The group members met in 1992 in Berlin with group member Szary performing live acid house music at illegal underground parties. The group says, "After the Wall came down, everywhere in Germany and especially East Germany there was a lot of chaos, anarchy." 〔http://www.theredalert.com/features/modeselektor.php〕 Both soon joined forces and began creating music under the moniker Fundamental Knowledge. In 1996 the group renamed themselves Modeselektor, a name taken from a function on the Roland Space Echo analog delay effects unit. In 1999 Modeselektor signed its first remix contract and began working with Pfadfinderei, a Berlin based VJ and design collective. In 2000 Modeselektor met Ellen Allien, making BPitch Control their home label. Modeselektor has also been involved in collaborative efforts; Moderat - a musical collaboration between Modeselektor and Apparat, Pfadselektor - a music/visual collaboration between Modeselektor and Pfadfinderei, and with Rhythm & Sound's Paul St. Hillaire. They have produced sound installations at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and lectured at the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart. Modeselektor is a favourite group of Thom Yorke (frontman of Radiohead), who has recommended their albums in interviews and included the song ''Silikon'' (from their 2005 LP ''Hello Mom!'' and featuring vocalist Sasha Perera) in a publicly available iTunes playlist. Moderat (the collaboration between Modeselektor and Apparat) have also supported Radiohead on the band's concerts in Poznań, Poland and Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2009. The follow-up to ''Hello Mom!'' was ''Happy Birthday!'' which saw Paul St. Hilaire, TTC, Puppetmastaz, Thom Yorke and Maxïmo Park as guest vocalists. Other collaborators included Otto von Schirach, Siriusmo, and Apparat. In March 2009 they released an album with Apparat under the name Moderat. They have collaborated previously on an EP named ''Auf Kosten Der Gesundheit'' which was released as a limited 12" on BPitch Control in 2002. Modeselektor also appeared as main characters in Amy Grill's 2009 electronic music documentary, Speaking In Code. Modeselektor are said to be good friends with Siriusmo, and regularly remix and promote his material. In September 2011 Modeselektor released their third LP, Monkeytown, in which various artists including Thom Yorke collaborated on.〔http://www.discogs.com/Modeselektor-Monkeytown/release/3130350〕 In August 2013, Modeselektor released their second album in collaboration with Apparat under the name Moderat, entitled ''II'' 〔http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18315-moderat-ii/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Modeselektor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
