The group draws heavily from IDM, glitch, electro and hip hop. Modeselektor produces all its material with self-developed software in Max/MSP and MIDI controllers.
The group members met in 1992 in Berlin with group member Szary performing live acid house music at illegal underground parties. Both soon joined forces and began creating music under the moniker Fundamental Knowledge. In 1996 the group renamed to Modeselektor, a name taken from a function on the Roland RE-201 Space Echo analog delay effects unit.
In 1999 Modeselektor signed its first remix contract and began working with Pfadfinderei, a Berlin based VJ and design collective. In 2000 Modeselektor met Ellen Allien, making BPitch Control their home label. Modeselektor has also been involved in collaborative efforts; Moderat - a musical collaboration between Modeselektor and Apparat, Pfadselektor - a music/visual collaboration between Modeselektor and Pfadfinderei, and with Rhythm & Sound's Paul St. Hillaire. They have produced sound installations at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and lectured at the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart.
Modeselektor is a favourite group of Thom Yorke (Radiohead frontman), who has recommended their albums in interviews and included the song Silikon (from their 2005 LP Hello Mom! and featuring vocalist Sasha Perera) in a publicly available iTunes playlist.
The follow-up to Hello Mom! was Happy Birthday! which saw Paul St. Hilaire, TTC, Puppetmastaz, Thom Yorke and Maxïmo Park as guest vocalists. Other collaborators included Otto von Schirach, Siriusmo, and Apparat.

The featured singer in this song is the Romanian singer Miss Platnum. She repeats the word "fuga" or "fugi" which is the Romanian word for run. It means run in the sense that it is an escape, flight, or dash. This is a particularly beautiful contrast to the english in which she indicates that her escape is much more relaxed and free than the more urgent word fuga/fugi would intend. A wonderful song with a catchy beat.
@Cristyannah
Love her voice! Her German sounds native with perfect Berlin accent on other tracks. My guess is she is rather of Romanian origin but grown in Germany ❤
@manondaniel

Randomly passed the tent they were playing in at COACHELLA. Was stuck there because of this tune! I NEED THIS TRACK!
@thefuzzgroove
la rencontre de l'electro et de cette superbe voix funk font de ce morceau un titre incroyable !

2011 eram in otelu rosu, ultimul an la master, asteptam in halta mizera a orasului un trenulet spre Caransebes continuat cu o legatura la personalul orsova - timisoara nord... inca doua ore de tranzit sub egida CFR. Ce vremuri :D
