Description
* There is something so special about German electronic duo
ModeSelektor. Thousands flock to their gigs around the world. Music greats including Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke are huge fans. Tom has recommended their albums in interviews and included the song "Silikon" (from their 2005 LP Hello Mom! in a publicly available ITunes playlist.
* Released on Ellen Alliens B Pitch Control label & a brilliant follow-up to Hello Mom!, which vaulted
ModeSelektor to success.The equally exclamatory Happy Birthday! got its name from the fact that both men will become fathers soon.
* Happy Birthday!'s guest list includes Thom Yorke, Maximo Park, Apparat, Paul St. Hilaire (Rhythm & Sound/Tikiman), Puppetmastaz, Otto von Schirach, Siriusmo and the Parisian rappers TTC.
* The group draws heavily from IDM, glitch & hiphop. As with their previous output, the album promises to span the genres, this time including dubstep, delicate electronica, Eurocrunk, grime, ghetto- bass, electro house and tech-rap. Whatever that might mean? The Berlin knob twiddlers don't like to post a genre sticker on their music anyway, so they don't really care. They just do great music, no matter what style and with a large injection of humour.
