Modeselektor is an experimental techno/ electronic music duo consisting of Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, and are originally from Berlin, Germany.
The two met in 1992 when Szary was working as an underground DJ, performing live acid house music. The two first joined forces under the name Fundamental Knowledge and in 1996 they changed their name to Modeselektor. Two years after the name change, they signed their first remix contract with Berlin based VJ and design collective, Pfadfinderei. They then teamed up with Ellen Allien and his label, BPitch Control. The duo released singles throughout over a period of three years, starting in 2002, culminating in the release of their first album “Hello Mom!” released in 2005.
Modeselektor followed up “Hello Mom!” with their second album, “Happy Birthday!” in 2007; an album which featured guest vocalists such as Tom Yorke, TTC, Paul St. Hilaire, and Maximo Park. The duo has also been associated with Moderat, an ongoing collaboration with Apparat, and together they released an EP entitled “Auf Kosten Der Gesundheit” in 2002 followed by “Moderat,” in March 2009. After the release of their first compilation album in 2010, Modeselektor released their third studio album entitled “Monkeytown” in 2011. “Monkeytown” again featured guest vocals and collaboration with Tom Yorke (a self-proclaimed big fan of Modeselektor). In 2013 they went back into the studio with Apparat to release their second collaboration album entitled “II” which was released in the same year.
