(BPitch Control) CD
Mediating between Apparat’s pop-oriented micro-anthems and Modeselektor’s boisterous push on the techno envelope, the combined effort of these Berlin techno purveyors slickly balances ambient horizons and grimy beats. The project’s slick and sharp aural playground is occasionally diversified with elements of an echoing, dub-tinged fusion. Moderat: a masterful new hybrid creature.
