DATING IS IN CHINA

Cat.No. MTR114 Genre ELECTRONIC Barcode 817231017031 While Modeselektor™s recent Extended mixtape is populated with all sorts of musical experiments, even the duo™s most ardent fans might be surprised by Dating Is In China, which is quite possibly the most overtly pop track they™ve ever created. A collaboration with Argentinian artist (and Monkeytown regular) Catnapp, it™s also the title track of the third EP released in Extended™s aftermath, following on from Mean Friend and Social Distancing. There™s something uniquely pure and honest about Catnapp™s performance, and Dating Is In China in general, but there™s no denying that the song™s hearton-sleeve pop makes it something of an outlier in the Modeselektor catalog. Two alternative versions were created by the Berlin duo themselves: Crunchy synths jab the Speed Dating Version, whereas Dated In China is a bath of meditative, drawn-out tones. Additional remixes are provided by Jersey club queen Uniiqu3, Swedish duo Asthma (a.k.a. Pär Grindvik and Peder Mannerfelt) as well as old friend TimTim. Tracklist: A1. Dating Is In China feat.
