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 fact that it still sounds good in 2021 shows how ahead of their time modeselektor have always been. This video is still criminally underrated imho
Tim Belanger
Agreed. This sounds great turned UPPPP!! 2021 Listen to that mini drop transistion at 3:32 to 3:35.
Benjamin D Cook
Still sounds as great in 2022. I suspect this track is going to end up being rather timeless.
Oscuros
Yeah, 9 years is so long in electronic music, like, the 4/4 time really anticipates the "Bleep" House sound of 1989. I can see how having a modulated sound that can give a bass sound and distortion at the same time is really ahead of what they did on the Detroit House scene in the late 1980s with the Roland 909. Or maybe you just haven't been listening to this kind of music for that long to make such a comment.
