- Festival faves Modeselektor celebrate imminent fatherhood with a second studio album ‘Happy Birthday’ on Bpitch Control.
Festival circuit faves Modeselektor celebrate imminent fatherhood with a second studio album on Bpitch Control. ‘Happy Birthday’ will be released in September.
Both halves of the Berlin production duo are having babies it seems, thus the title. The album follows up Modeselektor’s ‘Hello Mom!’ from 2005, as well as this year’s mix CD ‘Boogybytes Vol. 3’. As with their previous output, the album promises to span the genres, this time including (according to the press notes) hard rap, dubstep, Eurocrunk, continental grime and tech-rap. Whatever that might mean.
‘Happy Birthday!’ invites plenty of guests around to the party, including spots from Thom Yorke, Maximo Park, Puppetmastaz, Apparat, Paul St. Hilaire and the French Rap gang TTC.
