Modeselektor is an electronic music band formed in Berlin, featuring Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary. The group draws heavily from IDM, glitch, electro and hip hop. They produce all their material with self-developed software and MIDI controllers, also doing very innovative live performances. History The group members met in 1992 in Berlin with group member Szary performing live acid house music at illegal underground parties. Both soon joined forces and began creating music under the moniker Fundamental Knowledge. It wasn't until 1996 that the group renamed to Modeselektor. The name is thought to come from the name of a function of the Space Echo hardware effect device. After more years of experimentation, the group started to focus on live shows. In 1999 Modeselektor signed its first remix contract and began working with Pfadfinderei, a Berlin based VJ and design collective. In 2000, Modeselektor met with Ellen Allie
