For the past 20 years, Sebastian Szary and Gernot Bronsert, AKA Modeselektor, have been a unique force in the German electronic and dance music scene as DJs, producers, promoters and label owners.
In this public conversation as part of the Red Bull Music Academy 20th Anniversary tour in Germany, Bronsert and Szary sat down for an informal conversation with Torsten Schmidt that retraced their steps from childhood excursions to world tours.

__________________________
Born and raised east of Berlin, the pair struck up a friendship in the ’90s that would soon lead them to the capital thanks to radio recordings, record digging trips and late-night visits to clubs like Tresor. They began performing as Modeselektor in 1996 and signed to Ellen Allien’s BPitch Control label in 2000, where their then-strange blend of techno, electronic music and hip-hop brought them to worldwide attention.
In the late 2000s, they set up their own labels, Monkeytown and 50Weapons, giving space to upcoming producers and fellow weirdos alongside their own always-dancefloor-ready productions and collaboration. Outside the studio, they’re best known for entertaining DJ sets and impressive audio-visual live shows.
