APPARAT, aka Sascha Ring, has released
Stimming’s epic remix of
“BRANDENBURG" amidst his EU tour. He will feature support from labelmate K Á R Y Y N in Brighton, London, Brussels and Berlin. Listen to the new “BRANDENBURG” remix
here.
The original version of “BRANDENBURG” is taken from
LP5, Apparat’s first release since 2013’s
Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre), and follows two studio albums,
II and
III (Mute / Monkeytown) by
Moderat, the trio he founded with Modeselektor’s Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary.

Sublime and delicate, the album finds greatness in small things and in unexpected twists. It joins musical fragments together and glows from the cracks in between. For Ring, it is also a document of artistic insight and autonomy.
"I was only able to make the record this way because Moderat exists," he says.
"Having a huge stage with Moderat gave me a setting for grand gestures and meant I could unburden Apparat from these aspirations. I don't have to write big pop hymns here; I can just immerse myself in the details and the structures." Still hymnic,
LP5 doesn’t rely on dramatic gestures and theatrical amplification, instead it lives off delicately sculpted sounds crackling alongside filigree beeping and twitching.
Like previous Apparat albums, the new release sees Sascha Ring collaborate with cellist
Philipp Thimm. On the album you can also hear trombone, trumpet and saxophone, a harp, a double bass and other strings. Tracks were developed over endless group improvisations and lavish orchestral sessions – some of these sessions are only apparent in the final mix as fluttering echoes, just barely noticeable. The album was recorded in Berlin at AP4, JRS, Vox-Ton & Hansa Studios, mixed by Gareth Jones and Sascha Ring.
From elegiac techno to deep orchestral pop ballads, Apparat‘s work has always had a common denominator: an elegance that embraces and gives nuanced layers of detail and a near universal beauty.
