Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BPC 069EP

"Crash course in the history of Modeselektor: Szary aka the perverted Persian and Gernot aka the rambunctious Rumanian -- together you get Modeselektor. Up until now, their two releases for BPitch Control have introduced a new language with words like 'Sound-Hack' through bit-crushing and thousands of other ones. Modeselektor continue to always strike through conventional audio habits with their grandiose Live and DJ-sets in the end of which one often gets to see an entire club dancing the Polonaise in circles with synchronized shoulder leans. Long live ACDC on broken beats."

Title:	Turn Deaf
Label:	BPITCH CONTROL (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BPC 099EP

"Modeselektor are those guys from Berlin who are always up to no good, releasing their fourth 12" on BPitch Control called Turn Deaf BPC099. Lets wait and see if Thom Yorke, who claims to be a fan of their music, can handle this one! However, Modeselektor will continue to put out the records that will make You beg for mercy, that is for sure. The long expected Album will coming next year -- watch out! Plug in -- turn deaf. What´s happened to my ears? This is the way it is! Kicking in the Bass first and then... oh damn!! It's all twisted again! Ok, reeboot: 'Bing!' Now we've got it: Ass, titties, ladies, gents: 'Shake it!' The scales are all fucked up, but hey; who cares!? Five minutes to jerk off to, ahh, sex can be so easy and it sells as we all know! Sweating, we continue to rave on with the Modeselektor Acid-trance-vestites from the 'New Berlin Loft' -- speed dreams are made of these. A symphony in Bass making knees knock for elastic dancing, plus a timing that never/ever misses a beat. 'Kill Gates' (the use this patch immediately version) is the sociocritical part, dissing the rich and spurring us needy people on to rage on the dancefloor. Those two construction worker -- freaks are laying massive bricks made of Breakhop-Beats on us, forming a sculpture-like Questionmark!? Nobody will ever be able to explain the meaning of this track covered in depth of the feared dub-mudd. The simplicity of the sweet little melodies on 'Modeselektors Rave anthem' (UPS- Version) is just fake in order to kick the living shit out of the ears of any innocent bystander with their typical binovular stylee. This track was used by their Label patron from BPitch, Ellen Allien, for her new mix-CD My Parade played from the dubplate. And because Mdslktr are madly in love with the Track 'Numb' by their fellow BPC artist Tomas Andersson they jammed it up in the end with their own Track, forming a bastard-like fusion of Tomas' and their genes."

Title:	Hello Mom!
Label:	BPITCH CONTROL (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	BPC 115CD

Modeselektor are Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, two bon vivants from Berlin who have been making humor-dipped, musically-exciting and dance-stimulating night-time entertainment for nearly ten years. Among numerous remixes, they have released not less than four EPs at BPitch Control -- this is their first full-length release. Taking the lead in a post-techno parade along a gorgeous boulevard of heavy basses, Hello Mom! works like a sampler for acute/def/contemporary/wicked electronic music blatancy. Modeselektor's adaptation of urban catchwords like electro-IDM, booty house, Euro-crunk, continental grime, ghetto-bass, dub-step and such even get the most bored know-it-all off the barstools. Here's a taste: the record starts with a collaboration with TTC from France, in the manic shredder "Dancing Box," then turns to rap and rave-monsters such as "Rap Anthem," "Kill Bill Vol. 4" and the P. Diddy campaign-named "Vote or Die." "Earth (UPS Edit)" is made of arcane stumbling sounds that wobble just like the planet, followed by Paul St. Hillaire arguing about "Fake Emotions" along with slack bubbling melodies. The Sri Lankan Sasha Perera, singer of the Berlin-Tel Aviv trio Jahcoozi, is featured on "Silikon," a track packed with urban grime. The merrily euphoric finale "I Love You" goes out to all the Moms.

Title:	Hello Mom! The Remixes
Label:	BPITCH CONTROL (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	BPC 121EP

Modeselektor are Berlin-based Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary. This release features remixes of all the vocal tracks from their hot dance debut, Hello Mom!, by artists like Sleeparchive, Siriusmo, Dabrye and XXXX. Sleeparchive bans all the vocals by French rappers TTC from the original "Dancingbox" into silent exile and builds a massive-sounding carcass for DJ experiments of all kinds. Siriusmo lends an electro funk remix with the voice of Sasha Perera (Jahcoozi), and it's big fun even as a sitting dance. Dabrye's remix of "Fake Emotions" with Paul St. Hilaire serves up deep basses lit up with Jamaican structural designs. The last track: an anonymous remix of "Silikon." Grime will never be as it has been before, not after this piece! Who is really behind this fantastic techno track cannot be disclosed.

Title:	Boogy Bytes Vol. 03
Label:	BPITCH CONTROL (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	BPC 151CD

Oh my god, here comes the two Berlin miscreants, Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary aka Modeselektor on mix-duty for Boogy Bytes Vol. 03, the third in BPitch's impeccable and addictive mix series. This is the duo's first official mix CD, ever, and they have well-prepared themselves for the task, with gigs all over the globe, productions with TTC, remixes for MyRobotFriend, Paul Kalkbrenner and Thom Yorke, and a split single with Knifehandchop and Ninjaman. And after having been included on about a thousand mixes themselves for labels such as Discograph, Shitkatapult and Wavetec Records, it's Modeselektor's turn to pick their faves. This is a crazy ride through decades of electronic music, pimped by the finest hip-hop. Almost 30 tracks mixed so smoothly into one hour and so full of push and drive, that only Modeselektor -- the masters of enthusiasm and euphoria -- could have done it. Rather unknown artists such as Germany's Errorsmith (of Smith N Hack fame) and the hotly-tipped Siriusmo ride next to icons like Radiohead and The Detroit Experiment, who in turn, bolster the most gabbed-about artists on this mix, Burial and Spank Rock. From murky dubstep to spastic electro and serious IDM, Boogy Bytes Vol. 03 showcases Modeselektor's universal and eclectic love of music, no matter what style or popularity of the artist. This great mix CD doesn't mean Modeselektor's retreat into the DJ business, it's just a pleasant distraction while they work on their new album and single. Future prediction: 2007 is THE year for Modeselektor. Other artists include: The Panacea, Flying Lotus, Paul Kalkbrenner, James Holden, Bobby Peru, Audiojack, C'hantal, Nathan Fake, Apparat, Robag Wruhme, Female, Krause Duo, Skream, Rhythm & Sound w/Bobbo Shanti, Carl Craig, Jean Jaques Perrey & Luke Vibert, Plastician, Philippe Cam, Teki Latex, TTC, Clatterbox, Mr. Oizo, Marcel Dettmann, u-Ziq and Phon.O.

Title:	Happy Birthday!
Label:	BPITCH CONTROL (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	BPC 159CD

After their homage to their moms (Hello Mom!: BPC 115CD/LP) and the digestion of piled-up experiences of their musical freshmen years, the arts and crafts duo Modeselektor release their second album, Happy Birthday!. This record describes the main focus of Berliners Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary: hang out together all the time. Both dudes will become fathers very soon, almost simultaneously -- happy birthday! But back to their labor-pains: After 111 slashings and burnings across dancefloors from Sydney to Iceland, and driven by the ungovernable spirit of gold-diggers, Gernot and Szary holed up in their mobile Airstream caravan recording studio in order to give birth to Happy Birthday!. The conditions of production were slightly adverse, but thanks to digital transfer technology and a mild winter in Berlin, it all came together nicely in the end. The repertoire of Happy Birthday! runs from hard rap with a French kick to dubstep in the broadest sense. New urban word scraps attempt to describe Modeselektor's style: Eurocrunk, continental grime, tech-rap... the list is long. Mr. Bronsert and Mr. Szary don't like to put a genre sticker on their music anyway, so they don't really care. They just do great music, no matter what style. And another good thing -- their tendency to not take themselves seriously is unbowed, so this album is great fun for everybody -- moms, dads, siblings, grandparents, etc. Also features astounding contributions from Thom Yorke, Puppetmastaz, Apparat, Paul St. Hilaire, Otto Von Schirach, Siriusmo and the French rap gang, TTC, as well as a CD-only bonus track from Maxïmo Park.
