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.
