So it's not really anyone's birthday but the title of Modeselektor's 2007 album. The duo from Berlin are signed with the awesome Ellen Allien's BPitch Control label. The guys describe their sound as "happy metal, hard rap, country-ambient, Russian crunk." And that it is :)One of the most catchy songs is the French inspired (ft. TTC) "20000007" and trust me, you will be bopping to this tune alllll day. For high energy explosions check out the track "Sucker Pin"- it will make you want to 'fist pump' Jersey style! The track "The Wedding Toccata Theme" has a nice, slow, robotic sound. If you are down for a little raggae feel, check out "Let Your Love Grow" ft. Paul St. Hillaire. It's an awesomely whimsical track that can really make you space out...in a good way.
To save the best for last- peep "Happy Birthday!". This track seems to have inspired the album as it has a slow minimal feel, yet it's completely upbeat and has instant dance appeal. I LOVE IT!
**For those of you who enjoyed Modeselektor, you MUST check out their side project "Moderat". Modeselektor collaborates with Sascha Ring, better known as Apparat, to perform live shows and recently came out with the 2009 album, "Moderat". Check out this album and its tracks: "A New Error", "Slow Match", and "Seamonkey".
Listen to Apparat! With his refreshing Berlin style, he cannot be missed! Check out his album Duplex (2003) and the track "Steinholz" !!
