There is no need to write a long introduction about Berlin-based artists Modeselektor (Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary). The albums Hello Mom! (BPC 115CD/LP) and Happy Birthday! (BPC 159CD/LP), the stadium world tour with Radiohead, collaborations and remixes with and for Thom Yorke, Björk, Maxïmo Park, Miss Kittin, Boys Noize, Roots Manuva, and many others are impressive milestones of their career. After the festival season of 2010 ends, it's time to show a sign of life as Modeselektor. So it happens impressively with the kickstart of a new album series called Modeselektions. Accompanied by carefully-selected events around the globe, Modeselektor invited 20 of their current favorite electronic music artists to participate with unreleased and exclusive tracks, of which 18 are to be found on this CD. Names like 2562 (A Made Up Sound), Robag Wruhme (Wighnomy Brothers), Marcel Dettmann, Shed, Mala (Digital Mystikz), Tadd Mulinix (Dabrye, James T. Cotton), Feadz, Siriusmo, Apparat, Ramadanman, Ikonika, Cylob, and many more sound impressive not only to hipsters and specialists, DJs and journalists, but also to the "normal" fan of electronic music. Other artists include: SBTRKT, Daniel Meteo, eLan, Cosmic TRG, Bok Bok, Housemeister, and Cylob.
