Various (Animal Collective, Peverelist etc.) - Body Language Volume 8: Modeselektor

Modeselektor should require very little introduction. The Berlin-based duo of Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary have destroyed so many dancefloors around the world that their reputation precedes them, and as producers too their stature has grown and grown. They’ve released two critically acclaimed albums - ‘Hello Mom!’ and ‘Happy Birthday!’ - and collaborated with the likes of Thom Yorke and Paul St Hilaire.

Somehow or other Modeselektor still find time to be among the best, most reliably party smashing DJs on the planet. Their contribution to Get Physical’s Body Language mix series is a riotous, bass-heavy affair, one that takes in all kinds of interesting developments in cutting edge contemporary dance music. MDSLKTR draw a natural line from the fizzing aqua-crunk of Rustie’s ‘Zig-Zag’ to the R&B bump of Missy Elliott’s Timbaland-produced ‘Lick Shots’, from the skippy 90s techno of G-Man’s ‘Quo Vadis’ to the tough Berghain minimalism of Norman Nodge.

Dubstep – a big influence on the Moderat project – plays a pivotal role in the mix: moody, synth-led masterpieces by Peverelist and Benga recall classic Detroit techno, while Untold’s devastating ‘Anaconda’ is sheer dancefloor energy. Scuba’s ‘Klinik’ isn’t so much dubstep as broken, reductionist house music.

The uncompromising, big-hearted Body Language Vol.8 is the most refreshing and outrageously banging mix you’ll hear all year, a stellar addition to a series that has seen previous contributions from the likes of M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T., Matthew Dear and Junior Boys. It’s the very opposite of boring. Hell, it might just be the party album of the year…
