Moderat Shares Âme Remix of "Running," + VR Video
MODERAT
(MODESELEKTOR + APPARAT)
REVEALS ÂME’S REMIX OF
“RUNNING”
“a must-hear for sensitive electronic-soul lovers” – Pitchfork
“one of the most forward thinking acts in electronic music today” – Popmatters
Moderat, the alliance of Berlin’s electronic heavy weights, Modeselektor and Apparat, released III , the final album of their trilogy, this year via Mute/Monkeytown. After performing to thousands each night across Europe and North America, the trio is back with a new remix of their pulsing track “Running.” This reworking comes from Berlin’s finest duo Âme. It’s a masterfully crafted piece, dropping Sascha Ring’s vocals boldly in the middle of the track between carefully constructed layers – euphoric brassy synths, melancholic pads and shuffling hi-hats all create the perfect balance between experimentation and control. Listen to the Âme remix of “Running” HERE .
Moderat’s “Running” blends wistful melodies with the collective excitement of a night at a summer festival. The song’s sonic palette spans intricate percussions, cascading, yet overtly recognizable synths, a driving kick drum and a wealth of feel-good vibes. This is music for the main stage: a highly emotive kind of pop, built for dancing, but never simple. As described by Sascha Ring (aka Apparat), “‘Running’ is about being part of a mass. A mass that constantly needs to move to function, but one that’s not deciding directions by itself.”
Moderat also recently released a virtual reality version of their “Reminder” video via the New York Times VR app, taking the dystopian sci-fi fantasy of the original video to new levels. Pfadfinderei, Moderat’s long-time creative partner, teamed up with SEHSUCHT Berlin to use Unreal Engine (a state-of-the-art game engine) coupled with motion capture sequences to create seamlessly integrated 3D scenes. Get the New York Times VR app to watch the VR version HERE . Watch the original video for “Reminder” HERE . Moderat Tour Dates (tix on sale via www.moderat.fm.):
