Moderat is a collaborative group comprised of artists Apparat and Modeselektor. II is their second album release The secret of Modeselektor"s and Apparat"s collaboration lies in the fact that they never even tried to get close to one another. Modeselektor"s thundering bass rumbles in the cellar, Apparat"s sensitive and subtle melodies float high in the eaves. The fact that what one assumes to be incompatible actually communicates, is what makes Moderat so unique. Moderat is not just a studio project: they"ve toured all five continents.
