Alright folks...you ready? Cuz here we go again!
Reports from other stops on their world tour (Glasgow, Sydney, etc.) have
been consistently telling of packed houses and "tore the roof off," "fucking
awesome," "do not miss" performances.
Once again we'd like to remind you that the capacity of the Rx Gallery is
fairly small, and when we're full, we're full! People are stoked...this
one's gonna be a rager! As always, it's first come, first served, so please
arrive early to assure entry.

BIO:
When it comes to the much talked about sound of Berlin, Modeselektor would
be the choice you can bank on. Their "dreck elektro" has made it into the
favourites of Mr. Radiohead himself - Thom Yorke. For almost 10 years now
the duo stands for guaranteed humour-dipped, musically exciting and dance
stimulating night-time entertainment, while the rest of Germany is long
asleep. In France they might be even better known, as they are constantly
invited to play in Paris as well as in the provinces.
A total of almost 80 live gigs adorn their last year's agenda, and, among
numerous remixes, they have released not less than 4 EPs at Ellen Allien's
label BPitch Control. Their latest release was a DVD entitled "Labland",
which they produced together with their old buddies - Germany's most popular
visual artists - Pfadfinderei.
Modeselektor are two bon vivants from Berlin, who teamed up in 1996 and who
like to eat in restaurants. After annually recurring promises they finally
turn the corner with their first album, to take the lead in a
post-techno-parade along a gorgeous boulevard of heavy basses. "Hello Mom!"
works like a sampler for acute def contemporary wicked electronic music
blatancy. Modeselektor's adaptation of urban catchwords like elektro-IDM,
booty house, Euro-crunk, continental grime, ghettobass, dubstep and such a
things even get the most bored know-it-all off the stools. A party-worn,
lost looking monkey stares from the cover, as self-mockery has always been
an excellence of Modeselektor. It is rather difficult to have a serious word
with them, as they are mostly drunk from boozing ideas made up from their
addictive creativity.
