“I don’t know which came first- shitty rave music or the drugs… I wonder if it was just these non-music fuck heads who are, you know, sitting in their house one day and they dicked around on their Macintosh and they go ‘bloop bleep bleep bloop’…”

That there [courtesy of Panacea] is the intro to Modeselektor’s first official DJ mix for Ellen Allien’s BPitch Control label, preceding volumes mixed by Kiki and Sascha Funke, respectively. What makes this mix so special is the fact it’s not filled with the hottest ‘bangers’ of the moment — it’s compiled of personal selections that Modeselektor love.

This is a well-rounded mix that morphs and mixes cohesively from one track to the next, blending all forms of ‘electronica’ and showing Modeselektor’s digital trickery and expertise along the way.
