Modeselektor

Glitch, IDM, and global hip-hop? The idea of marrying these genres is at least eight years old, back when Kid606 and Knifehandchop were hip brands. Yet there's something interesting here, and it has to do with the bombastic low end. Usually, this smarty-pants/fusion stuff goes for asexual squeals, stutters and hums: ting-ting-ting-zwiiiiiiiing. Modeselektor, in contrast, has made a booty-shaking bass album. And you know what? Subwoofer abuse is always a blast. Crank "Sucker Pin" now.
