Moderat: Moderat versión en vinilo LP en estándar edición. Esta edición en concreto se lanzó en Alemania en la editorial BPitch Control el día 8. agosto 2025.

Moderat was formed in 2002 when Sascha Ring (aka apparat) and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (aka Modeselektor) recorded an EP for the bpitch control label.The creation of this album was incredibly exhausting for all three of them and at the last minute they renamed the EP "Auf Kosten der Gesundheit" (which translates to "At the expense of health"). Shortly thereafter, Modeselektor and Apparat simultaneously worked on their own full-length albums - Modeselektor's debut "Hello Mom!" and apparat's collaboration with Ellen Allien, "Orchestra of Bubbles". Each became successful, and the two albums that followed defined the careers of each act. In addition, since the release of their debuts, both bands have played more than 1,000 concerts in almost every venue in the world. Modeselektor's second album from 2007, Happy Birthday!, made German music history and featured musicians such as Puppetmastaz, Maximo Park and Thom Yorke. In addition to a number of remixes for such luminaries as Thom Yorke and Björk, Modeslektor also toured Japan with Radiohead in 2008. Apparat, on the other hand, moved on with 2007's Walls, taking a more band-oriented musical path that saw him tour for several years in a row. The reunion of Modeselektor and Apparat occurred in the spring of 2008 through a game of fate. szary and bronsert, both proud fathers, were on their way to the "Stadtbad Mitte" (Berlin-Mitte municipal swimming pool) with their children for their regular Monday swimming lessons when they ran into ringo, a pious bachelor who happened to be accompanied by several shady women. After a verbal shootout, the three gentlemen quickly made up and decided to get back to work on their joint album as a matter of urgency. Thus, the band Moderat was formed. Recording the eponymous Moderat album, the three men began by renting studio space at Berlin's legendary Hansa Studios (where Bowie recorded Heroes) to record the album in analogue using vintage studio tube technology and an old 1972 emi desk restored especially for Moderat. American software designer Joshua Kit Clayton was hired to program an excellent reverb algorithm specifically for the recording process of this album. This exquisite sound design is one of the reasons why the promotional copies can only be listened to in mono. the finished copies will, of course, be in full stereo. In addition, during the early stages of recording the Moderat album, Szary and Bronsert purchased an EMT model 140 record reverb at an online auction and had to drive to Los Angeles to get it. There they met Californian rapper Busdriver and the foundation for "Beatswaysick" was laid. Moderat went on to work on it with Busdriver from his continents. Unfortunately, due to legal issues at the time of production, this track will be released as an exclusive download in the near future. Back in the studio, Berlin-based vocalist Dellé (aka Eased) of leading German band Seeed found himself in Moderat's studio room looking for a bottle opener. There on the spot the three gentlemen of moderat definitely waved goodbye to the concept of a mere instrumental album and said hello to the vocal recordings and the track "Sick With It". Coincidentally, they found older vocal recordings by paul st. hilaire that szary and bronsert had recorded long before on low-noise 1/4" analog tape. It was these recordings that led to the creation of "Slow Match". all of this encouraged szary and bronsert to convince ringo that it was time for him to contribute the vocals you hear on "Rusty Nails" and "Out Of Sight". "Rusty Nails" is the first single to feature remixes from Shackleton and Booka Shade.
