Moderat, the electronic project helmed by leading German figureheads Apparat (Sascha Ring) and Modeselektor (Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary), will release a new album, their second, this summer.
II, a follow-up to Moderat’s eponymous BPitch Control debut in 2009, promises further experimentation. “Moderat as a fusion of Modeslektor and Apparat is a mutual path that hasn’t been and will never be easy” the trio explains. “It’s simply more than ‘just’ making music together. It is, again and again, an experiment of exploring our similarities and differences and to interlace them to something new and exciting.”
II will be released on Modeselektor’s Monkeytown Records label as both double-disc and double-vinyl on August 2, 2013.
