When Berlin’s electronic power trio Moderat dropped their self-titled debut in 2009, it felt like a sonic lightning bolt. This record is where Apparat’s emotional depth meets Modeselektor’s beat-heavy chaos — and the result is a moody, genre-bending masterclass. Tracks like “A New Error” and “Rusty Nails” have since become iconic, carving out a unique space in the techno-meets-indietronica scene.
The album opens with the pulsing build of “A New Error,” setting the tone with deep synths and hypnotic rhythms. It’s cinematic, raw, and incredibly refined all at once. “Rusty Nails” brings in Apparat’s haunting vocals, giving the album its emotional core, while “Seamonkey” leans heavily into glitchy, warped club territory. Every track morphs smoothly into the next, making this one of those rare albums that demands a full listen from start to finish.
What makes Moderat so compelling is its tension — the tug-of-war between dark introspection and full-blown dancefloor abandon. It doesn’t shy away from being pretty or pounding, often within the same track. You can feel Berlin’s underground pulse running through every beat.
Pressed on quality vinyl, this release is a must-have for fans of intelligent electronic music. Moody, powerful, and ahead of its time — this debut didn’t just introduce a supergroup, it redefined what electronic collaboration could sound like.
