Modeselektor
Modeselektor heavily use Artillery2, WOW and Effectrix.
Modeselektor is an electronic music band formed in Berlin,
featuring Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary. The group draws
heavily from IDM, glitch, electro and hip hop. They produce
all their material with self-developed software and MIDI controllers.
The group members met in 1992 in Berlin with group member
Szary performing live acid house music at illegal underground
parties. Both soon joined forces and began creating music
under the moniker Fundamental Knowledge. In 1996 the group
renamed to Modeselektor, a name taken from a function on the
Roland RE-201 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 (Radiohead
frontman), 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.
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.
