The whole Modeselektor thing is a fun project.
It's a boy thing.
We wouldn't be here if it wasn't fun.
I mean it. Seriously.
I forgot what I wanted to say. Classic.
We can greet people. Hi, Mom.
Anyway, we're Modeselektor.
11 until 11:45am, Radio Fritz.
Hello.
First of all, let's clear this up.
This is the right pronunciation?
Many people pronounce it differently.
Usually Fritz radio jockeys mispronounce us.
Two guys, Gernot and Szary. Good to have you.
What's the difference between you two?
We have different women.
And we look different, too. So...
Gernot is wearing a cap and a baseball jacket.
He could be one of Kraftklub.
Szary is wearing a black denim shirt
and his chest hair is showing.
It's not a shirt. Let me come closer, hang on.
Szary is wearing an overall. No shirt.
He's wearing an overall.
Do you always wear stuff like this?
We have to lock up, they steal in Potsdam.
Wicked, each lock individually.
Yes, the only special feature of this car is...
nothing. Power steering.
This is Norbert, by the way.
Is he your only bag with a name?
I have others, of course.
But it's a handbag with lots of room.
For drinks, too.
DISGRACEFUL BERLIN GERIATRIC
Oh, those headlines.
What is it?
Don't mention it.
From a certain point in my youth,
everything revolved around electronic music.
The root of all evil, if you like,
were those parties in Ruedersdorf
which Szary helped organise.
I was all for it
and spent all my hard-earned money
from holiday jobs on turntables.
I spent all my pennies on records
but didn't know what to do with them.
I practiced in my bedroom,
picturing thousands of people in front of me.
My imagination must have been so strong
it became reality.
Szary, tell us which instruments
you ordered back when your mum
was gobsmacked in the film.
The devices were TR707 and 202.
Extreme smokers' devices even back then.
Smokers' device means they looked mingen.
Yes, they looked awful, but they worked,
and they were ten years old at the time.
My studio guests on the occasion
of their DVD 'We Are Modeselektor'
are Szary and Gernot of Modeselektor.
The DVD is in no way a retrospective
nor a 'Best of' gala
followed by a 'Rock Meets Classic' album
and then only our greatest hits will be released.
We didn't plan the DVD at all
and we're so busy with all the stuff we're doing
that the DVD is an interesting release for us,
not just musically, but actually interesting,
which shows how we work,
what we do, who we are.
How do you work?
We're nuts.
But somehow we're not getting it totally wrong.
Erbse!
Take care.
Erbse is serving a sentence.
Erbse is a name which doesn't really exist.
When we have guests from abroad
we always tell him one of our friends is in jail.
But that's rubbish. It's imaginary.
Interview days are nice coz you get into a flow.
You find the perfect phrase.
So the last interviewer is the lucky one?
Well, or you...
Not really, because we're really tired by then.
I'm handling this old *** well, aren't I?
I dig old bangers.
Pardon?
Well, it's too jazzed up.
Yes. You have to have it tuned it down a bit.
Szary definitely makes better coffee.
We're more like brothers, you know?
We're pals somehow.
It was really a lucky coincidence
that we met several times.
In school, then on several projects and then...
Then we decided...
to found a project.
On the subject of arguing. In the studio.
Production arguments.
Arguing over base drums and hi hats.
We loved talking about that.
But it's actually...
It's often about issues...
A hi hat can get really big.
The system is phat.
They just did a soundcheck for us.
The system is very easy to handle. That's good.
I look forward to it. It's going to be nice.
That's crass.
How it consolidates now.
Pretty whacky.
I look forward to watching the film at the cinema.
It's a wicked cinema, and the whole experience.
We've seen it at a small cinema already,
but this is a holy place
and besides, everyone is here.
It leads to a certain excitement.
For the excitement... cough syrup.
To us.
Matze, where to?
It's getting warm.
Matze, where to?
No questions.
I forgot what I wanted to say, of course.
Anyway, we're Modeselektor.
