MODESELEKTOR Extended / NEW CASSETTE / Monkeytown 2021

Cassette version. More than two years after their last album release Who Else (MONKEY 096CD/DLXLP/LP), Modeselektor is back with the new album Extended, a mixtape with 27 all new tracks by the Berlin-based duo. In 2020, Modeselektor spent more time in the studio than ever before, reshaping old tracks, constructing new ones and gradually assembling the mixtape as a response to the chaos and uncertainty of the outside world. The result is Extended, a whirlwind flying through 27 tracks in around 66 minutes and maintaining a flow that feels natural, even as the music seesaws through distortion-laced rave riddims, speaker-rattling boom-bap, gnarled dub meditations, gleeful melodic bliss and a lot more. Included are collaborations with Jackson & His Computer Band and legendary dub vocalist Paul St Hilaire. Extended will be followed by a series of EPs, each one built around a different track from the mixtape with vocal contributions, reworks, and remixes. In addition, dancer Corey Scott-Gilbert created a choreographed interpretation of Extended, which was turned into the film Work by Krsn Bransko and Tobias Staab.
