Moderat: Moderat

LP Record Moderat was formed in 2002 when Sascha Ring (aka Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (aka Modeselektor) recorded an EP for the BPitch Control label. Creating this record was incredibly exhausting for all three, and at the last minute, they renamed the EP "Auf Kosten der Gesundheit" (which translates to "At the Expense of Health"). When it was time to start working on an album, Moderat suddenly split up. Shortly after, Modeselektor and Apparat both worked on their own full-length albums – Modeselektor's debut "Hello Mom!" and Apparat's collaboration with Ellen Allien, "Orchestra of Bubbles". Each became successful and was followed by two career-defining albums for the respective acts.
