[Special]: Jon Hopkins meets Moderat via EB.TV

 

Notes by Electronic Beats:
his edition of Slices on Electronic Beats TV pairs two of the most popular names in contemporary electronic music: Jon Hopkins and Moderat. Both the trio composed of Modeselektor and Apparat, with their album II on Monkeytown, and Hopkins, with Immunity on Domino Records, caused an international sensation in 2013—making it on to everybody’s year-end lists in the process. The two acts are also personally acquainted and appreciate one another’s company. We decided to get together with the four of them for a short chat backstage at Berlin’s Columbiahalle.

[Special]: 20 Years Of Kompakt – A Pop Documentary

 

Notes:
In 2013 the German label Kompakt from Cologne celebrated its 20th anniversary. Now a small documentation is avialable.

Quote: The festivities for 20 years of Kompakt are over. That’s a good thing. Now, let’s look ahead to the next 20 years… a work-intensive, nerve-wracking, ecstatic anniversary drunken with memory comes to a close. We cap it off with a last sentimental, non-verbal, filmic salute to the world and say thanks to all who have helped, celebrated and suffered with us. Music and pictures say more than a thousand words. “Onwards and don’t forget.” Or, as the great techno philosopher Westbam once said: „Forwards ever, backwards never “
