Berlin electronic pioneers MODESELEKTOR come to Limerick on Saturday March 7 for a special live show as part of the inaugural Limerick Electronic Arts Festival happening in March 2020.
MODESELEKTOR are a huge force in dance music since forming in the early 1990’s. The duo, Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary collaborated with Thom Yorke on the albums Happy Birthday! and Monkeytown. Their collaborative side-project with Sascha Ring recorded and toured as Moderat until going on hiatus in 2017.
2019 saw MODESELEKTOR release ‘Who Else’ on their label Monkeytown Records mixing their iconic warping techno sound with experimental hip hop, grime and crushing beats to wide acclaim. After several years of global touring with Moderat, the original Modeselektor is once again front and centre for this tour.
MODESELEKTOR are in high demand across the world, from Dekmantel in Brazil to Dour in Belgium and headlined Body & Soul 2019. The duo bring their new show to Limerick on March 7. The headline show will be hosted at a pop-up warehouse space on the banks of the River Shannon.
