Modeselektor Start Record Label + Moderat Tour Dates & Album Release Info

German duo Modeselektor have started their own label, Monkeytown Records. According to their myspace blog:

On the occasion of the international financial crisis we decided to found our own label, Monkeytown Records, to create a platform for befriended artists.

Because: Anything Pharell Williams does, we can do better!

Our buddy Siriusmo personally invited himself to be the very first artist on Monkeytown Records and will be No. 001 of the still virginal label catalogue. Release date June 22.

Yours,
Bronnse and Perverseus

I assume the release date refers to the first of two EPs to be released by Siriusmo on the label with his debut album to follow at the end of 2009. The debut EP is titled The Uninvited Guest :



In addition to all of this, Modeselektor are currently touring with Apparat, performing music from their joint project - Moderat. Their self-titled album will be out in the near future on cd, cd&dvd deluxe, and vinyl (as early as April 20th, depending on location) on Bpitchcontrol. Album preview and tour dates below:
