Moderat's formation began back… Read Full Bio ↴Moderat are Modeselektor and Apparat.
Moderat's formation began back in 2002 in Berlin, Germany when Sascha Ring (aka Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (aka Modeselektor) recorded an EP for the record label BPitch Control ("Auf Kosten der Gesundheit"). When it came time to begin working on an album, Moderat suddenly broke up.
Meanwhile Modeselektor set a milestone in German music history with their sophomore album, Happy Birthday!, including musicians such as Puppetmastaz, Maximo Park and Thom Yorke. Amongst a slew of remixes for the likes of Thom Yorke and Björk, Modeselektor also went on to tour with Radiohead across Japan in 2008.
Apparat, on the other hand, moved forward with his album Walls in 2007 (after his collaboration with Ellen Allien on "Orchestra of Bubbles"), taking a musical path that was more band-oriented and kept him on tour for several years running.
2008 saw the reunion of this project and the three members of Moderat went back to the studio to continue working together and finally released their 1st full album "Moderat" in April 2009. This is a monumental 'audio-visual declaration' album, which includes ten videos by Berlin's highly regarded visualists Pfadfinderei.

FAST LAND
Moderat Lyrics

Fast land
The lyrics of Moderat's song "Fast Land" are simple and repetitive, consisting solely of the words "Fast land" repeated throughout the song. This repetition may be seen as a reflection of the fast-paced nature of modern life and the desire for constant movement and progress. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the urgency and speed that is often associated with living in a fast-paced society.
However, the meaning behind these lyrics can be interpreted in various ways. One interpretation could be that "fast land" represents a metaphorical land where everything moves quickly, symbolizing the pressures and expectations of society to always be on the go and to not waste any time. The repetitive nature of the lyrics may also represent the relentless cycle of life, where one's days seem to blur together in a never-ending rush.
Another interpretation could be that the repeated phrase is a mantra, a way for the listener to immerse themselves in the fast land and embrace the energy and intensity it brings. The lyrics might encourage the listener to let go of their inhibitions and fully embrace the chaos and exhilaration of life, as if they are diving headfirst into a fast land.

Hi Moderat!
When I listen to the drums, I clearly see a recognition to Teardrop by Massive Attack...
But when I hear the small detunings in the sound that carries the weight of the song, the small differences in the amounts and rhythms, the melodies added to complete the song... I am spellbound.
And finally, the individual change of pitch in the chord that ends the song, with a sound that I would never dream of designing!!
Thanks for coming back with this gem and sharing it with us.

Lee Armitage

Radek Michalski
I think the Bassline is a little bit like "Teardrop" from Massive Attack..very nice.

There was no bigger media influence ever in my life
Styvori Presso

Stefan Stambo
I start to listing to Sascha ( Apparat ) around 1999 and the Label Shitkatapult with T.Raumschmiere. Then later on Modeselektor.
Really good guys! A part from techno Kultur!

Olivia that is one of the most amazing stories...your parents certainly know how to educate their child!
As everyone I am been on the Moderat journey for many years and seems them in many countries, now I have a son who is 16mths old and he has heard Moderat all his life, especially when in the womb and itnwas on repeat...thankfully he will not know a world without them!
May can not come fast enough.
