Ellen Allien & Apparat


Despite their most popular and influential album being released in 2006, this is the first time that these two talented musicians have ever come across my radar. Together they've produced two albums, but seperately they're sucsessful musicians in their own right.

Both artists hail from Germany, playing a major part in the famous Berlin Electro scene. Ellen Allien is a singer, who sings in both German and English and has made a name for herself in the Berlin scene, taking inspiration from the very city in which she works. Apparat is an Electro DJ, who has a progressive interest in "designing sounds (rather) than beats".


Together, they produce one of the most complete and best electronic albums that I've ever heard, in the form of 'Orchestra of Bubbles' . It moves from catchy pop-vocals to wonderfully minimal electronic beats. It's certainly something that I'd recommend, and you can download it here.

I'd seriously recommend that you give it a listen.
